Not giving a fuck about what is cool or not cool, what is punk rock or not punk rock, or what is acceptable or what isn't. Plain and simple: Punk is a state of mind. If you think you're a punk then you are. Who gives a fuck.
Punk: "I listen to pop punk and I dont give a shit if its cool or not"
Douche: "Ughhh. Punks aren't allowed to like any bands that aren't in the Punk Rock Approved Hand Booklet that we all get when we up our mohawks for the first time. What are you doing, you trendy mall-shopping fuck? BLAH BLAH UP THE PUNX"

So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!

a genre of music with lyrics attacking conventional society and popular culture. beautiful music to people who truly understand the message and care about the meaning.
You said politics don't concern me and that's just fine so sing along to the radio's love song and when they reinstate the draft you'll be the first to go you're 23 so when you're in Iraq staring into the eyes of the man who's the enemy with skud missles streaming over your head remember when you said "Politics don't concern me." -Suicide Machines

Not a style, not the music, not attitude but a way of life. Punk is anti-establishment, and always stands up for what it believes.
No-one is more punk than anyone else, if you turn it into a punkness competition then you aren't punk, plain and fucking simple, you're just a dicktard.
Punk Bands: The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, The Circle Jerks, Generation X, Iggy & the Stooges... many more. Look for it and listen.

Dicktard #1: Oh I'm so much more punk than you, I'm wearing a spiked belt!
Dicktard #2: No you're not, cos im wearing a spiked belt and I have red hair!
Real Punk: Fuck you, you stupid shits. Punk is about expression and idividuality and creativity, not being 'punker than thou'. Assholes.

Bad Religion, NOFX, Social Distortion, bands with a message more than "I'm sad, I'm gonna cut myself". That's punk rock.

Punk rock never died, yet it's often spoiled by nazi boneheads such as gg allin (gotta say he's one hardcore motherfucker though) who claim to be punk but really don't know shit cause punk started off fighting for peace NOT hate. To be "punk" all you have to do is...nothing. You don't take orders from "the man". "Punks" have many different beliefs and are very open minded...that's why nazis don't count. Punks don't judge before they listen. Contrary to popular beliefs, punks CARE. Punks aren't the lazy, careless sods society leads you to believe they are. Punks take action...may it be for animal liberation, anti-war, anti-racism, anti-capitalism, or all of them together.
Crass (listen to Working Class Rip Off if you're a gg fan), Subhumans, The Dead Kennedys, Oi Polloi, Rudimentary Peni, Conflict, Citizen Fish, True Sounds Of Liberty (T.S.O.L.), The Germs, The Exploited, Reagan Youth, Aus-Rotten, Keep Fighting, etc.
