punk music

Music for the sake of music. If it's played at a modern party and can be easily danced to, it's not punk.

These are some of the leading punk bands:
The Buzzcocks
Black Flag
Blondie
THE CLASH
The Damned
Dead Kennedys
Generation X (Gen X)
Greenday (but only Kerplunk, 1,039 / Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, Dookie, Nimrod, and some of American Idiot)
THE JAM (some say they're mod, but they're the epitome of punk)
The New York Dolls
The Pogues
The Pretenders
The Ramones
SEX PISTOLS
Stiff Little Fingers
Early U2
Ultravox
The Velvet Underground
The Who
Wire
XTC (believe me)
The Adverts
Iggy Pop
Magazine
Talking Heads
And there are so many more, I can't possibly list all the best

Nu-punk

A genre of punk rock that has yet to actually appear on the scene. The music is known for its extensive use of traditional "four-chord" punk riffs, nasal vocals, political satire, discontent, general profanity, and hipster bashing. It is best listened to when played loudly. This term was officially coined by a disgruntled English teacher in her mid-twenties, lamenting the loss of angry, yet fun, music to listen to while slamming into sweaty show-goers.
"Punk's dead, man."
"No way! Have you even heard Disestablishminternet play a show? Nu-punk proves that punk's not dead."

skater punk

Mainly used as a term for people with little imagination to berate skateboarders. Used in the same sense as Skate Fag
Skate or Die and so on...

Can be heard yelled from passing cars when trying to skateboard in small towns across the U.S. by Rednecks.

In most circumstance a term used by someone who has never actually stepped on a skateboard to define an entire culture as punks that skate.

May be a way for those whom would have wanted to skateboard at one time to associate with those whom did. Sometimes used by actual punk bands with a dwindling audience to boost records sales ala No Need for a name or avril lavigne in a lesser sense skater boi or whatever that garbage is.
