punk Sinatra

quite simply, this is a term used to describe former Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry. His vocal crooning styles, his habit of wearing stylish clothes when he plays the piano, synthesizer, and occasionally guitar, his stylish, suave, sophisticated and elegant image that he shows in pictures, performance and video and the fact that Roxy Music inspired punk rock and New Wave leads to this designation. Today he pursues his solo career, sometimes covering artists that inspire him - like Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye and yes, Frank Sinatra. His sound is now generally the New Romantic and Eurodisco styles that Roxy Music laid the foundation for.

I heard Roxy Music on the radio and saw some of their videos (as well as Bryan Ferry solo)on MTV in the Eighties. In 1990 I had a buyer's card filled up with purchase punches which meant I could get a free album. The girl at the checkout said that the album I got (a Roxy best-of) was really good, and she said that Bryan Ferry is a "punk Sinatra". Man was she right! I've been a fan ever since.

punishment haircut

A purposefully self-ruinous hairstyle designed to reduce one's own attractiveness. Usually deployed by spiteful females as passive-aggressive revenge on an unaffectionate, inattentive lover or spouse.

"I ran into Reed's ol' girl at the bar the other night... That hookup must have gone south for ol' boy, 'cuz she's rocking a straight-up punishment haircut."

horror punk

A Genre of punk started in the early 70's by a man named Glenn Danzig with his punk band the misfits. Catagorized by love for things of macabre nature. Usually dead things. Often mis catagorized with horrorbilly and deathrock. The genre is generally underground but holds several succesful shows each year the most noteable in Germany. Although many people who listen to this type of punk are not considered TRUE punks. Most will listen to The Misfits before moving on to something else. A pick up in the genre with recent pop-punk or emo bands has casted a bad image on the genre. You can usually tell a horror punk by the trademark devilock.

you like horror punk or you dont.

1. Jamie is such a postcard punk.
2. Dresses like a postcard every day but all of the spikes and patches in the world can't make up for the clockwork orange make-up.
