Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square.
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.
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
Punk music is rebellious.
What was punk all about? To me, it was if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it.
I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.
Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music - well, still not knowing how to play music.
To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am'.
Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.
All punk is is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude.
