A wide genre of music. Often the cause of large arguments as to what bands actually fall into the genre.
Usually contains a strong political or personal message, but has evolved to include humour and personal emotions.
Quite often the term 'punk rock' is used to describe new, more poppy bands as opposed to the old school founders of the genre (who are known as simply 'punk').
Despite common belief, the genre does not include bands such as New Found Glory, Blink 182, Good Charlotte or Sum 41. All of whom are considered pop bands.

Graveyard punk is a music genre that generally includes lyrics such as 'Bones' or 'Pumpkins' or maybe 'Skeletons'. This phrase is mainly used to describe lyrics but also this could apply to the way inwhich a vocalist sings, for example with a very 'deep' voice.

Mediocre humans looking for the high road, which also coincides with the easy road. These individuals are often recognized by unkempt or "strange" hairstyles, large holes in their ears, lots of tattoos, and an immense sense of political-correctness (sometimes translated to self-righteousness). These can also be individuals who are leftovers from burning man and find solace in folk music (hippie-punks). Most-often found in the Pacific Northwest, especially Portland.
