A genre of guitar-based rock and roll typified by fast tempos, short song duration, and aggressive delivery. Despite its "short, fast, and loud" nature, punk rock is essentially melodic. Non-"pop" punk rock is known as "hardcore."
Punk rock began in the middle 1970s with bands like The Stooges, The Ramones, and The Sex Pistols and was initially a reaction to the overproduced, lengthy, plodding corporate rock that had come to dominate the landscape. The "new wave" lasted until approximately 1982, when there was a move away from original punk to more aggressive hardcore. A second wave of punk erupted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, peaking in 1994. The genre continues to this day (as does it's musical sibling, hardcore).
While there is a philosopy closely related to punk rock ("Do It Yourself") and a visual style closely associated with punk rock (torn jeans, spikey hair, chuck taylors, etc.), please note that punk rock is a FORM OF MUSIC.

A punk usually refers to a boy that is a weak wimp that is easily bullied. A punk can also be a school bully's slave.
School Bully: (Grabs the weaker boy by the front of his shirt and pulls him into a bathroom stall.) It's pay day punk. Cough up your lunch money.
Punk: I don't have any money today.
School Bully: Punk, you know you gotta pay everyday or else. (The school bully forces the punk to his knees in front of the toilet and puts the punk's head in the toilet and gives him a swirly.)
School Bully: Now punk, fork over that dollar. (The punk pulls a dollar out of his shoe and hands it to the school bully.) Now, where's my math homework punk? (The punk digs in his pocket and hands the school bully his homework.)
Punk: Can I go now?
School bully: Listen punk, you're my punk and you'll always be my punk. When we are in college, you'll still be forking over your lunch money to me and doing all of my homework each and every night. When we are out of college, you'll still be forking over your paycheck to me every week punk. Guess who will be doing my taxes every year punk?
punk: Me?
School Bully: That's right punk. Let's see, my car is really dirty right now. If only I had a punk to wash and wax my car. Wait a minute, I do have a punk to wash and wax my car. Hey punk, I want you to wash and wax my car starting today.
Punk: Do I have to?
School Bully: (The school bully punches the punk in the eye and the punk falls to the bathroom floor.) Punk, you need to be taught a lesson. (The bully undoes his belt buckle as he's standing over his punk.) Time to break my punk in prison style.
