To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.
All punk is is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude.
When someone asks you, 'What's punk?' my reply is, 'If you have to ask, you're never going to know.'
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.
The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.
It's very cliched to go, 'You're not punk.' We don't care if we are, and we don't care if we aren't.
Punk rock is very rebellious, of course, but it also means thinking for yourself.
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
What was punk all about? To me, it was if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it.
