Ponx
A term coined by modern DIY punk rockers describing either:
a: A "punk" that forgot 1977 was over 30 years ago and still thinks bondage pants, giant glue-smeared mohawks, and raising a middle finger for no apparent reason is still cool. These "punks" also exclusively listen to bands such as the Germs, The Ramones, The Casualties, Rancid, Misfits etc.
b: A "punk" who, although looks 100% less ridiculous than their mohawk flaunting, middle finger raising cousins, isn't even punk at all. These kids can sometimes blend into a real punk crowd but in reality have no understanding of the true meaning and ideals of DIY punk rock. These "punks" generally listen to bands such as New Found Glory, A Day To Remember, The Wonder Years, Blink-182 etc.
The term can also be used in jest to describe something that was in fact very punk.
