Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
All punk is is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude.
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.
Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.
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 is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.
To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying 'This is who I am'.
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.
What was punk all about? To me, it was if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it.
