A Softer More colorful version of punk, more popular in Britain and the UK, guys usually have shorter shaggy hair or anything emo-esk, girls have white-blonde, black or any neon color hair thats either in pigtails or any kind of shorter kind of choppy kind of cut. Both guy and girls wear big shinny plastic glasses that often are orange or green and do nothing to protect you from the sun at all and newsboy hats. Girls wear vinyl plastic dresses or capris and light cotton t-shirts. Guys wear stretch pants or tight girls pants sometimes ripped or with many patches, shirts similar to that of girls fashion and long aviator scarfs, retro-punk clothes can usually be found in thrift and reslae boutique stores, or if worst comes to worst urban outfitters is somewhat close. They like vespas, Beatles and mini copper type cars, and anything bubbly and plastic/vinyl. Bands like the Kinks, the Beatles and the who are good authentic retro-punk bands. Bands like The White Stripes, Soledad Brothers, Le Tigre, Franze Furdinand or any other more simplistic band is probably a good bet for more modern retro-punk music.
John: Wow! look at those two people!
Jacky: I know! his scarf and sun glasses are so cool! and look at her matching yellow vinyl dress and hat.
John: They are so Retro-punk!

Get the Retro-punk mug.A Pretty good type of music that most "Real" punks look down upon just because it doesent live up to Punks standards. And yes, I agree with them. Most pop punk is a pile of shit. But there is alot of really good Pop Punk out there that is Loud, fast, fun and rebelious. But it is basicly just a more melodic and catchier type of punk rock.
Good Pop Punk: Descendents, NOFX, (old) Green Day, Lagwagon, Screeching Weasal, (Old) Blink 182, Ramones, The Offspring, (Old) Mxpx, Rancid, The Buzzcocks, The Sidekicks, etc
Bull Shit Pop punk: Simple Plan, Paramore, Fall out boy, We the Kings, Boys like Girls, (New) Blink 182, New found glory, good charlotte, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, etc

Get the punk mug.A style of music that originated in New York in the mid 1970s. Although many people claim to know the true origins of punk rock, few really do. Originally a movement of alienated youth, today it is used as a moniker to describe any horrible piece of trash that receives frequent rotation on FM radio. A word absolutely devoid of it's original meaning and virtually destroyed by the popular media.
Black Flack circa 1980 was the definition of a punk rock band; explosive and threatening. Blink 182 is the present definition of a punk band; safe and non-threatening.

Get the punk rock mug.punk is not a look, its a life for many. It means you stay in an apartment with 20 other people, sell your blood for food money, disregard law but don't try to break them, and own 1 outfit. Now that's punk, none of this blink 182 bull crap with kids buying shitloads of hair gel and dying it green.
