An amazing movie in the form of a doccumentary about the lives of 2 young Punks growing up in Salt Lake City(SLC). The story shows how Stevo and Heroin Bob live being some of the few "true punks" in SLC.
SLC PUNK:
Stevo: Wait, time out. I just wanted to ask real quick, if I can. You believe in rebellion, freedom and love, right?
Mom: Absolutely, yes.
Dad: Rebellion, freedom, love.
Stevo: You two are divorced. So love failed. Two: Mom, your a New Ager, clinging to every scrap of Eastern religion that may justify why the above said love failed. Three: Dad, you're a slick, corporate, preppy-ass lawyer. I don't really have to say anything else about you do I dad? Four: You move from New York City, the Mecca and hub of the cultural world to Utah! Nowhere! To change nothing! More to perpetuate this cycle of greed, fascism and triviality. Your movement of the people, by and for the people got you... nothing! You just hide behind some lost sense of drugs, sex and rock and roll. Ooooh, Kumbaya! I am the future! I am the future of this great nation which you, father, so arrogantly saved this world for. Look, I have my own agenda. Harvard, out. University of Utah, in. I'm gonna get a 4.0 in damage. I love you guys! Don't get me wrong, it's all about this. But for the first time in my life, I'm 18 and I can say "FUUUUUCK YOU!"

Get the SLC Punkmug. A Youth style that embodies the fabulousness of the past, almost victorian aristocracy. Aristo Punk is a style that takes the aristocracy's fanciness and fine clothing with punk's stereotypically rude mannerisms and unconventional clothes and ideals. Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's novel 'A Clockwork Orange' greatly influenced Aristo Punk. Especially the lead Alexander Burgess. They wear mainly luxury fabrics. And the dress must have's are:
Cane/Walking Stick
Top Hat or Bowler/Derby Hat
Bowties & dress-shirt
Suspenders
Patches, paint-splatter, or fake blood
Overcoat
And extravagant right eye make-up.
They also study fine arts..and are superfans of classical music..all Aristo Punks share a love of Beethoven (Ludwig Van), but the more true to the style Aristo's say that although Beethoven is God...it's important to have a wide varied love of composers, and fine art, the work that best represents Aristo Punk is that of Liverpool born Ged Quinn. Aristo's talk to other Aristo's in a language called Nadsat, (Russian for teenager) they study The Bible, and although they do not practice it anymore for it is illegal...they pretend to be involved in ultra violence.
Aristo punk's are also known for being cynical and careless. They also have a distaste for the authority and other punks that are reckless in every thing they do.
They also tend to call everyone by their first name excluding authority, to show rudeness.

Example of Aristo Punk speech:
Where a normal person would say (NP):
'Ah! Man, I've got a banging headache' an Aristo Punk would say (AP):
'Oh, my dear droogs (friends), I've a rather intolerable pain in the gulliver (head)'
(NP)'Hey I went to the movies, it was rockin' the film was great loads of blood everywhere!'
(AP)'Hi, Hi, Hi there, I went to the cine and the film I viddied (saw) was real horrorshow (Good) buckets of the great red kroovy everywhere in extraordinary amounts!'
(There are plenty of examples but they are just a couple)
A great way to see examples of Aristo punks is to watch/read A Clockwork Orange. The main character in particular.
The punk band every Aristo punk should like are The Adicts although they are very popular and a true Aristo punk will take pride in being fans of obscure artists.

Get the poser punkmug. "Champagne punk" simply infers that it is punk of the highest calibre, deriving from the saying, "a champagne moment" that means a very fine moment indeed. More often referred to in terms of comedy, for example David Letterman's fan site is called 'champagne comedy'.
"Champagne punk" (adjective) should not be confused with Chardonnay Punk(group noun). Champagne is a symbol of celebration for the middle and lower classes, whereas chardonnay which is traditionally associated with the upper classes has been used derogatorily to describe rich left wing persons that self-identify with the working classes, i.e.: "That chardonnay sipping hippy!".
This confusion is somewhat understandable due to the existence of the term champagne socialist, however because most punks do in fact come from middle class backgrounds, the comparison doesn't stand up on close examination. To confuse these two terms is not necessarily indicative that one is a dumb punk. However, it would be more accurate to instead refer to particularly socio-economically disadvantaged people who are members of the broader punk scene as gutter punks, to avoid ambiguity.

Get the parrot punkmug. term used to describe a subculture and movement of ecological activists rooted in the punk scene. It is a play on the term steam punk.
Stem punks engage in radical green activism by planting flowers and trees in urban spaces to improve communities, like making seed bombs or seed bombing.
