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 drug punk mug."Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock."

Get the Punk Rock mug."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.
