Pre-Sid Vicious, pre-any stringy young male, "Punk" referred to the passive or "bottom" partner in a male-on-male or femal-on-male prison sexual relationship. (The dominant or "top" man/woman was called the "jock, jocker" or “jockes”) Since the punk was usually the scrawnier and younger of the two, that meaning of the term escaped into the general culture and eventually became attached to young, rebellious men fronting kick-ass rock bands.

Get the Punkmug. 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 Punkmug. Interestingly this goes back a ways! Everytime I say it people look at me like I have 3 heads. Found this:
“A listener in Council Bluffs, Iowa, says his grandmother, born in 1899, used to say I’m feeling punk, meaning “I’m feeling ill.” The term derives from an older sense of punk meaning “rotted wood.” This is part of a complete episode.”waywordradio website.
