The more socially accepted title for any subgenre, song, or artist of rock music -esp. thundering rock- which utilizes elements of irony, satire, metaphor, musical tone, poetry etc. to specifically target and rebel against an idea, trend, assumption, etc. which infringes upon, misrepresents, limits/arrests, and/or damages the integrity, health, and/or beneficial habits/personal image/reputation of a healthy personality and lifestyle not necessarily in agreement with mainstream society.
Origin of the term is unknown but was briefly repopularized by underground rock band Savage Insight frontman Antonio Lee when used as a heated response to a local recording studio representative attempting to categorize the artists as "goth-punk edged rock."

"'Punk rock is a conforming, assumptive and derogatory label used by dilletantes, and heartless manipulators...based on contempt, it is a term based on fashion, style, and elitism. The guy is a rebel rocker."

"Rockstar" -Nickelback

Get the Let's rock n' rollmug. A left wing racist or bigot who attempts to police the Punk Rock, Hardcore, or Ska scene with social media based politics.
A Stasi will often hide behind a socially protected class or group while actively engaging in latinophobia, antisemitism, or other race based xenophobia. When bands or venues won't publicly agree with their political stance they will try to cancel or rally boycotts against their intended target.
Oftentimes they will share viewpoints with the right wing hate groups they claim to stand against.
