punk

Punk rock is a movement that was started in the 70's by The Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc. Punk rock is defined as being loud/fast riffs with lyrics that are mostly affiliated with taking down the establishment or other stuff like that.
The "Punk Rock" bands that are just posing as punk bands should never be though of as punk bands, but EMO bands who want to think that they are punk.

Punk: Respecting all beliefs, cultures and traditions. liking punk rock, pop-punk, ska-punk and other punk music styles. having own oppinions that can vary from others and pop culture and knowing when, where at to whom to express them. not stereotyping. not liking punk as a pop-culture(yes, punk has become a "cool" thing). you don't have to be an anarchist and you should only believe in anarchy because you've determined it may be better and not because some dude with a mohawk said its cool. Having your own style(you can have a punk style but only if you like the style not because it's popular). Interest in the world and its problems and being grateful for what you have. not worrying if you only have 3 friends on facebook. not worrying if you don't have facebook. realization that friends and family are the most important. risking social status to do whats right. being a hater(but don't hate everything your parents and oldies say cuz u think ur so rebel like that). being laid back(but still care) and loving life. btw->ppl are born or brought up punk as a child...u can also turn punk...when i was 4 years i thought like true ounks and loved the genre but i had no idea what punk was and thought i just liked "faster-louder rock with less focus on vocals".

Posers: People who like punk cuz its popular, ppl who dont know where canada is(rule only applies to ppl above the age of 10), ppl who love core-punk cuz they think every other punk is poser, people who don't care at all about education and think life sucks. Calling all that love soft pop and rock posers.
Punk1: hey man
Punk2: hey, there's some super-sexed chick at school today
Punk1: whats her name?
Punk2: i dunno.

Poser1: yo, i fuckin hate you! Liz totally hates me now u fucking retard!
poser2: Shut-up! theres a new hot chick in school n e ways.
poser1: Let's do weed just to impress her.
poser2: COOOL! And, um...do u know where Canada is?
poser1: No. I think you're talking about mexico.
poser2: yeah, probably. soooo...where's that?

Punk shouldn't/doesn't have any real stereotype because deep down, the only way you can be punk is if you follow your own values no matter what anybody may say about it. You don't have to wear studs, dye your hair a weird color or scream anarchy. The same can apply to musicians. It doesn't matter if you want to be underground and rage against society or go mainstream and just sing about life, as long as you don't compromise... and keep to the three-chord structure... then you're good to go. =
Johnny Ramone was a Republican.
Ian MacKaye is doesn't take drugs.
Buzzcocks and Ramones both liked to sing songs about girls and they're both punk.
