Punk is Dead
The truth. See also rap sucks
Although punk music fans (not the dirtbags who refer to themselves as punks - actual non human-beings) have been saying that punk is dead since 1978, it actually wasn't proven to be true until 1991 or so - the year "punk" broke in America
Since the early 1990s, punk bands are played on the big rock and top 40 stations in even the most rural areas of the United States. Green Day, for instance, sells as many records as 50 Cent and records on about the same six-million dollar budget in the same lavish studios.
Punk rock is recording a demo on a tape recorder in a trailer and selling copies of the tapes out of the back of your 1973 Ford Galaxy.
Now a fashion trend dominated by white prep school kids and emos.

Punk is Dead
A dumb term that people use to make it seem like they know everything about punk rock. Punk can't die because it never was a living thing. In reality, bands like MDC, Subhumans, Jerry's Kids, D.R.I. and the F.U.'s are still out and playing. Punk was always a marketing scam to begin with. The Sex Pistols were called punk by Malcolm Mclaren to cause controversy and in turn get them money. However, punk developed an edge to it and became an underground phenomenon. When bands like Green Day, the Offspring, Rancid and such broke into the mainstream, it was just the same thing as the Pistols and the Clash.
So shut the fuck up and go home. There's still scum, there's still nerds, there's still outcasts, and there's still real 'punk's (for lack of a better term).
Punk can't really die (but you can).

Punkist
Member of the Cult who follows TJ Smith on YouTube/ect. You can mainly find them on his Twitch Livestreams, as they are his most hardcore fans and usually only hardcore fans show up for livestreams. They founded themselves, but TJ Smith (Their Lord and Savior) DOES know about them. They also have an inner circle of about 10 members, who are in a constant Skype chat. The Dracman is under their command, and he and the Demon Face eat the souls of the enemies of the punkists.
"Am I a punkist?"
"Do you worship your lord and savior TJ Smith?"
"Ummm no."
"Then the Dracman and the Demon Face will eat your soul. Be prepared to experience eternal and forever pain."

punkism
The philosophy/way of life, derived from early punk culture. To be a true punk master one must spend hours studying the works of Sex pistols, Ramones, The Clash. Practice involves irresponsible drunken behavior, swinging punches at any and every authority figure, making plans and then canceling last minute... and a mohawk. A true punkism jedi is able to start mosh pits in any public arena utilizing only his/her mind!

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
