Ideally, a style of music in which a small group of informed and active people get together and produce a raw, simplistic, chord-driven sound to back up lyrics that expose problems in the world and usually incite anger and energy.
If done wrong, however, it results in a bunch of freaks with dyed hair banging away on guitars and yammering about American idiots.

Punk's not dead
It just deserves to die
When it becomes another stale cartoon
A close-minded, self-centered social club
Ideas don't matter, it's who you know -Dead Kennedys

Get the punk mug.One who is influenced by techno/mod culture, and mixes their own funky style with that of the punk scene. In dress they are their own, and tend to have a unique, off-beat personality. They are probably counter-culture and an intellectual. Quite eccentric. Scientific/long name for them is "orthodox electro-punk misfit" or "orthodox electro-punk nerd".
"Wow, that new girl's so weird. She likes to wear eighties dresses and mosh to Madonna, what's her problem?"
"Oh, she's just one of those electro-punk kids. They like to call themselves 'orthodox electro-punk misfits' though."

Get the punk rock mug.Somebody who decides to rebel against their parents by listening to old punk bands (The Clash, Sex Pistols, etc.) and getting their parents to buy them £100 tartan trousers and leather jackets. I'm not saying Punk is bad, I'm just saying that when you spend £100 on a pair of trousers it's not exactly working class, is it? Excessive use of safety pins is another thing. I mean, the original punks of London used safety pins to hold their clothes together because they couldn't afford new clothes. Now all you get is people spending god knows how much on clothes with safety pins in them just so they can say they're punk and think they actually matter. True punk died in the 80s, now you're all just being silly.
Hey, look at that guy, that 'the clash' t-shirt cost him 30 quid. and my god, he's smoking! Fucking wanna-be Punk.
