A question that may be answered differently by anyone:)
Seems alot of people have their own idea of what it is or what it was.
My answer is in the comments
In an effort to keep the Chat-Box clear of idiots,I've brought this subject back to the top

Being different.
That's it....
Evening Mark
To me Punk is.....
Whatever you want it to be! Thats it!
Exactly that Longy,thanks.
I'm sick of ding dongs telling me I should be this way or that,little kids that haven't a clue.
It's being yourself.
If you have to ACT a certain way,that ain't Punk...that's a sheep.
Be yourself and NEVER let some dork tell you different ;)
Well said Mark & Longy
No Rules But Your Own
I personally think that attatching labels to yourself like "Punk" or "Skin" makes you a conformist unable to live your life as an individual!
Profound Eh?!!
So true Lazy.
I never did like that name "punk" like I'm some little twirp.
A bad name that we all got used to.
I had some idiot questioning something I put on my blog a while back "I thought this was a punk blog" bla bla "why are you posting this shit" ect. I said because I fucking want to. That sums up 1) Idiots who label and 2) Why I am like I am. Its about Freedom.
You are both spot on.
When i was an angry young teenager - so full of dreams and hope- punk was an alternative to the lies and hypocrisy of the middle class (and my middle class roots). Individualism and solidarity...but it was a disappointment: Punks were/are the same people as the people i had been called enemies.
But I can't and will not quit and sometimes i say to me:" I'm proud to be a punk". I don't know what punk is or should be. Tell me the answer! Maybe i will find a medicine :)
Punk music is the more basic and loud rock'n'roll could be...
And the punk way of life is the more free you can live.
Punk is anyone or thing that aids in 'not giving in' it is the nexus of free will and choosing wisely to avoid 'ruts' which seek to enslave our hearts and souls.
First time I have seen this question come up and seen answeres that rock! You are you and I am me...that's how's it's always gonna be. It's something that never dies inside me. and that is being me
Story of the universe I have heard we were part of God then broke free due to free will. Now we work ourselves back as God, for God control and just Punks barely lit yet emittors as a source none the less. Listen to "What is Punk" from Mr. T Experience on Mark's blog it is one the more recent post...this I tell you defines it for me..these lyrics
Viacomclosedmedown on youtube
Punk for me is being yourself and do what you wanna do!
that's it

Yeah Slo! Lots of beer and fun. Free as you can...

True, cider and glue = (more) punk. LOL
I don't know what Punk is, until I look in the mirror.
Punk is NOT to post nazi crap. :D
Punk is knup spelt backwards.
An old Quote that I have lived by,
"Punk:Not Fashion. Way of Life."
Punk is:
speaking your mind and blow some steam off!
There´s different factions in punk with different sounds,some of them also have different ideas and goals and they usually believe that punk is more than fashion or just a musicstyle. Some wants social change, some wanna practice the ideas of Do-It-Yourself. I can accept and listen to most of them but personally I don´t wanna condone those who strive for a system with a totalitarian rule neither left or righwing nuts. Anything doesn´t go. Punk is diverse as said and many bands see their music as a small contribution and vehicle for change in many different shapes and forms. All in all it could be a piss in the ocean but for most people it offers a release to speak their mind and I guess that it feels more important than to provoke people just for the sake and fun of it. Ignorance isn´t bliss and you can still think freely even if you find soulmates and share some viewpoints with them.
Punk is so simple.
It's doing whatever...
What do you think Sid Vicious thought when he put the nazi shirt on.It was a slap in the face to society.That's punk...
Not standing for shit,nor standing up for shit,not standing against shit.
Punk = Fuck You :)
There's a punk mould. I'm now too old, fat and complacent to fit it.
Your wrong...Anyone can be a punk.
Anyone Chris.
If you want it,you are it.
