"I'll tell you about punk rock. Punk rock is a word used by dilettantes and, uh... and, uh... heartless manipulators, about music... that takes up the energies, and the bodies, and the hearts and the souls and the time and the minds, of young men, who give what they have to it, and give everything they have to it. And it's a... it's a term that's based on contempt; it's a term that's based on fashion, style, elitism, satanism, and, everything that's rotten about rock 'n' roll.
I don't know Johnny Rotten... but I'm sure, I'm sure he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does as Sigmund Freud did. You see, what, what sounds to you like a big load of trashy old noise... is in fact... the brilliant music of a genius... myself.
And that music is so powerful, that it's quite beyond my control. And, ah... when I'm in the grips of it, I don't feel pleasure and I don't feel pain, either physically or emotionally. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Have you ever, have you ever felt like that? When you just, when you just, you couldn't feel anything, and you didn't want to either. You know, like that? Do you understand what I'm saying, sir?" - Iggy Pop

Get the Kid Rock mug.To impress, astound, or entertain someone. To "kick ass." The phrase has its origins in the Bon Jovi song "Wanted Dead or Alive," which contains the unintentionally funny line "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked 'em all." The phrase was popularized by online humorist Seanbaby, whose website boasts "over 40 million faces rocked!" It seems Seanbaby heard the line in the Bon Jovi song, thought it was funny, and made it his own.
The phrase has since found its way into online dialogue, often used facetiously or ironically (similar to modern use of phrases like "stick it to the Man!"), due to the consciously silly nature of the phrase.
