Now interacting with a Punk

Punk Guy: Really? just to be clear I don't mean Pop Punk

Punk Guy: Wow, awesome I thought you were a poser, but guess not!

Street Punk

A punk rock subculture for the lower and working classes. The music is very political, and the people are very accepting, most people see us as bad people, thugs, but some of the nicest people I know are street punk. Most of us are educated, nice people. We typically are very outspoken and political and want equality for all, and anarchy. We typically wear D.I.Y clothes, with spikes, studs, political/band patches, safety pins, tartan, vegan leather, we usually have spiked and dyed hair, stick n' pokes, and lots of piercings.
That's Stitch, she's a street punk!

Hey! The venue's got street punk bands playing tonight!

instagram punk

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?

crunch punk

a punk, adjacent to both the crust punk and the wook. They may be in a stage of transitioning from one subculture to the other, or simply appreciate both equally. within the ven diagram of punk and wook you will find dread locks, piercings, lack of deodorant, vegan or freegan diet, etc. The crunch punk may wear all black and sew their patches on with floss, but the trained crusty will identify them as a wook from a mile away. type of fool who spins fire and trips acid.
