The coolest new wave of punk subculture which involves posting yourself in the classic 70s punk style, wearing extravagant makeup, piercings and untamed hair dyed into unnatural colours. Side by side, Instagram punks and the scene subculture are very similar, with one being the lovechild of techno and emo culture, and the other being the love child of social media narcissism and your dad’s (or lack thereof) music collection.
Alternating themselves from the original 70s punks, Instagram punks don’t hold any strong legitimate view of political happenings / philosophies. However, many hold a baseline of which style of Instagram punk they want to portray through their online personality. For example, a communist Instagram punk may enhance their online persona by sharing their distaste for capitalism from their Chinese sweatshop-produced phone while regularly enjoying fast food. Some other Instagram punks may also share a message of hatred for government and surveillance despite regularly donating selfies to a multi million dollar corporation’s database to be data mined.

Girl: I like your Sex Pistols shirt, I had a boyfriend that looked exactly like Sid Viscious.
Guy with green mohawk and anarchy badges: Sid who?
*Thinking* Girl: Wow, what is with the abundance of Instagram punks nowadays?

Get the instagram punkmug. A style of rock music, like grunge, but without the jazz elements. Grunge, like a mixture of hard rock and heavy metal, lighter than metal, but harder than rock. Let's refer to rock as a blend of R&B/Funk Blues, Jazz, Country.
That means grunge is a blend of R&B, Jazz, Country, Metal. So, Punk Rock just means Non-Jazz Grunge so a blend of R&B, Jazz and Metal. Rock is a mixture of R&B, Jazz and Country. Apart frrom the music style, Punk Rock wears generally leather or jean jacket and stuff with holes. Rock generally wears also jackets but shoes and trousers have no holes.
