The original meaning of Punk was to be the submissive participant in the prison shower block. Aka to get fucked in the ass.
Then it was the name of an american music fanzine giving coverage to the very earliest punk and proto-punk bands.
This then became the name of that music scene and the name stuck.
Punks will typically be thinking in a different way to the rest of society for one reason or another and the scene ranges from extreme right-wing bands with neo-nazi politics such as Skrewdriver to the left-wing anarchic punk of Subhumans (bloody good live) or Crass. Most punk tends towards a more left-wing agenda, whilst not quite begging for a social revolution, rather, evolution such as The Clash.
Whilst the original scene was open and supportive (it would have died without reggae) it has now become elitist, petulant and to an extent soulless. Benji Madden said that Punk gave him a place to go where he felt like he belonged...which really isn't what it's about. You don't really 'become' punk it's just something that is there with you, I suppose.
Sub-genres of punk include: Street, Oi!, Hardcore, Pop-Punk and Ska-Punk.
Unfortunately, in the 80s the US scene spawned a couple of extreme bullshit punk offshoots i.e. Emo and Straightedge. Neither of which deserve your time.
Here are some punk bands: The Clash, Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, Rancid, Guttermouth, The Unseen, NOFX, The Damned, Sex Pistols, Sham 69, Operation Ivy.

Get the Punk mug.Simply put, a Punk Rocker who happens to have a Conservative/Libertarian standpoint and outlook on politics. This is not an oxymoron because if punk is really against government then there's no way they can logically work towards communism because communism is basically where the government controls every aspect of an individual's life! Where's the anarchy in that, you brainwashed idiots?! While it's worth noting that some Conservative Punks are genuine neo-conservative right wingers, the majority of them have a very strong Libertarian tilt to their political ideology.
Famous Conservative Punks include
Johnny Ramone
Lee Ving (Fear)
Members of the Vandals
Michale Graves ('Newfits, Gotham Road) (yes, the newfits suck, i know)
AntiSeen
Bobby Steele (The Misfits, yes, the original misfits. the Undead)
