A form of harder, faster, more angry type of punk music. Street punk derived from "the streets" (hence the name)Usually working class or poor, street punks know how life is out on the street and are aware of the world around them.
Though the roots are not exactly known, most street punk music began in the UK with "The Spirit of '77" and "UK '82", which is a name for the eras of street punk.
Street punks usually have the most colorful of outfits, out of all forms of punk. Usually street punks wear leather jackets or denim jackets with studs and band logos or beliefs either painted or sewn on. Street punks also usually wear plaid pants, or tight stretch jeans, along with boots like doc martens. "Mohawks" and "Liberty Spikes" are among the many hair styles worn, as well as hair dyed radical colours.
Street punks may have a "tough" image, but most are the nicest people you'll ever meet. Usually the most accepting also.
Though their image is the main thing that sets them apart, Street punk is more about unity, acceptance, diversity, and fighting for what you believe in, regardless of the consequences.

Frustrated With Society, Economy And Government. Im not going to tell you what they wear what they look like. but i will tell you they are the nicest people you will ever come in contact with. Street Punks are the only thing that keeps true punk alive. i odnt care what you call your "punk bands" such as greenday, blink 182, good charlet, but please for every street punk at stake , please dont take the only thing that we have left. THIS IS OUR LIFE , NOT A TREND,FASHION OR FOR ANY SOCIAL ATTENTION. JUST LEAVE US ALONE AND STICK WITH YOUR STYLE.

Street Punks were originally Punk, but now less 'punk' bands have taken over the term Punk.
Street Punks have mohawks, spiked hair, chains, peircings, Doc Martens, leather jackets and listen to bands like Oxymoron and The Casualties. The common symbol they were is the Anarchy Symbol and they are usually interested in politics.

Street punk is a term used to define the genre of music. Street punk is usually loud, fast and offensive. street punks usually dress in bondage apparel,(bondage pants, belts and jackets)leather jackets painted bright colors or with band logos or phrases with spikes and studs, denim jackets(acid washed or not)adorned with spikes, studs, patches, pins, band shirts, tight or not, usually with the sleeves cut off. Many people look at these kids and they see criminals, and thugs. Though, if you get to befriend and get to know some street punks, they are fun and usually easy to get along with. Among many vices, alcohol is a big one. Street punks are usually mocked by crusty kids, hardcore kids, and emoes. Though, they usually fight back, because street punks don't take shit from anybody. Despite common belief, street punks aren't idiots. They are the kids of the street. Street punk is the place where they feel like they belong, usually because they feel like they are not part of mainstream society.
examples of street punk is the early Oi! movement. This movement was started because most kids were sick of the popular punk like the Sex Pistols(which all the rich kids loved, and made their trend). These kids felt alienated from mainstream society.

A grown man or teen who has all the characteristics of a real street nigga but lacks the “street nigga” principle often has female traits & cares more about the appearance of a street person than actually being one. Always Talks about street activity’s his friends was involved in without him as if he does these types of activities. Only goes to the hood to say he was there with no purpose of being there a straight up sissy.
