punk 

A very wide genre of rock started in 1977 that has a sound that has infleunced countless types of music some of which including: streetpunk, oi, d-beat, crust powerviolence, pop-punk, grind, indie, emo, screamo, hardcore, deathrock, 77, uk82, glam, hair metal, speed metal, and even sludge metal.

It is a label that is largely misunderstoof by the public (despite what they may think) and so overused that obvious fallacies to what the style is (fast, loud, and hard) have become accepted. Such clearly pop acts like Hilary Duff have been labeled punk which is downright laughable.

Punk has become too wide of genre to apply to any specific type of music now. Almost any band that plays fast, loud, and hard can be called punk, although not always correctly.

The punk music label has become simply a matter of perspective, for example: a common streetpunk might say that The Casualties are a punk band, while a crust punk would simply laugh at this, and then proceed to listen to Axegrinder.

Punk 

A punk is a male who has practical jokes played on them or is picked on, usually on a regular basis, by others (punk'd). Another use of the word refers to what older adults might call a male rebel teen or street low-life. A thug is sometimes called a punk.

Joe is considered a punk at school because other kids constantly give him wedgies.

That punk rode his bike over my grass.

That punk tried to carjack my ride.

Punk 

Punk is a lifestyle.
A mental state.
The need to shake off all supression.
To be FREE.
Remember that word, Free.
It's listening to the Ramones in a basement with friends while smoking a blunt.
It's kicking over a sign and saying FUCK THAT.
It's defying the rules that you see to be unfit.
It's defying the system that you see to be stupid.
It's Punk.

A poser is that who will take this definition.
Go out, and do exactly what was written.
So.
FUCK YOU.

"A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. 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!"

Being punk isn't about trying to be different just to be different. It's not about wearing the coolest looking studded belt, it's not about dying your hair cause your parents don't want you to. It's not about being a bad ass and trying to impress anyone. It's not about being able to tell someone to "fuck off". It is about being able to be who you are and standing up for what you believe in. It's about being an individual.

&&Im the real -punk- deal, mother fucker.

Punk 

1. Punk is not fashion
2. Punk is not "trendy"
3. Punk is NOT emo
4. Time for the REAL definition of Punk

A punk is a very defiant and rebellious individual who rebeled against moderen society, many have descirbed punks as "violent freaks" who go around kicking each others asses, well thats a steriotype, punk isnt something you find in a hot topic store, its not traded bought or sold, its DIY(do it yourself) thinking for youself, it also influenced many subcultures, Most punks soldout about the age of 27 becuase they realized Life isn't fair, noone cares wut you have 2 say, you need money to support your habits, and their friends moved on, sad subs like this only lasted from 78 ta 92, and that punks need money for such miscellaneas behavior

Now for the Music:

Punk music isnt Greenday, Good Charlotte, did i mention Blink 182? its not All Time Low, i could go on and on and on

Punk Rawk is all about having fun YOUR WAY doing things YOUR WAY not some love song, Punk Rawk is teeing off, speaking your mind, believing in your lyrics, knowing that way your living in is complete shit, Bands that made punk wat it was are bands like Minor Threat, Sex Pistols, TSOL, Angry Samoans, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Decendents, very fast paced, playing your own style not love rifts, Punk is fast its hardcore and DAM its mean did i mention it was Hardcore? it came right at ya, above all Punk is Chaos balls out CHASO!! no rules wat so ever, its DIY its a Political Movement, YOUR OWN WAY!!!!!

1984:

Posuer: Imma poser look at yerself you got that EAZY E blasting in you speakers SELLOUT!
