What Does 'Punk' Mean To You?

OI YOU AND ME OUT SIDE. NOW

Punk to me is having a go - no-one telling me you can't do that......whether it's fashion, trying to make music, anything really.

If you have an idea give it a go - you may look a prick but quite frankly who cares - at least you've tried and done something a bit different.

As to the time - I'm of the second ( not the purist wave ) of the subs, ruts,gang of four, era
And as much of a sheep as the rest until I realised we were like the old teds we mocked for always being the same since their youth ( teds look cool BTW )...now look at 40 year old punks

The Exploited killed it all, I bailed , but I don't know if anyone would agree with me on this, but to get into newer evolving music that hadn't been done was more of a punk thing than listening to 'dead cities'.

Rant over - time for middle class work

punk still feels to be the most important musical movement of the last 30 years, i was around in 76, and remember the shock and outrage of the media at the time, the daily mail was in full on frothing rage i don't think any musical/cultiral movement has matched the im impact of punk since 76, only one i can see a parallel for is rock n roll in the 50s

i was only 11 in 76 so couldn't be a proper punk, and by the time i was 15 so, it was sort of retreating back to the underground...

Sweet F-A
I was perhaps to young and missed it.
Rave was my scene!

I think the mass media was just as scared of the Rave scene and Ectasy in 1988 , nothing since then though.

Discovering that a judicious mixture of speed and special brew can under certain circumstances that sensible people would definitely want to avoid, be a performance enhancing drug

Old men with guiatuars. Hopefully.

But that's like say if people started calling Enya punk then she would be punk.

Have some standards for heaven's sake

But but if i was going to have standards i wouldn't be able to see your mum anymore.

Genres are made up so if enought people say that something i part of a genre then it becomes part of it.
