what is punk

[JohnnyQuinn]

From my last trip to Burlington VT I've since changed my definition of punk. When I was in high school punk kids skipped class and had Mohawks and dressed to piss mommy off. When I started hitting the shows they were the kids swinging there fists and calling it dancing. Now (as Burlington taught me) to be punk is to sit in a drop in center all day, aggresively spange, smell bad, and carry a pack calling yourself a traveler but really just be homeless with no motivation. And my favorite part of all... Apparently I'm an oogle because I took a shower at the drop in and found temp work washing dishes. I'd rather be an oogle any day than the punk I identified myself as when i was a kid listening to punk rock and dressing to piss my mom off.

What do I know though, I'm just an oogle

[quote:70bd7ad357="JakeJ"]Punk is just punk. It's the "I don't give a [PROFANITY REMOVED BY MOD TEAM]" attitude. To quote Joey Ramone, the grandfather of punk rock- “I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.” That's what I think punk is.[/quote:70bd7ad357]
Agreed!!

"to me punk rock means dirt, it means bikes not cars,
to me it means bein sad when you cant see the stars"

from "um yer smile is like totally rulin me right now" or somethin like that

Punk is putting lots of time and effort into not giving a shit. which is bull shit because you obviously do hence the time and effort.

IF WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU- YOU WONT UNDERSTAND!!. the original punk was raw attitude; no particular name, no particular face; just raw attitude. i think that mozart was punk( i base that on what little i have read about him). that first cave-man that got up, looked at the horizon, and walked into said horizon just to see what was there- never to return-PUNK. william s burroughs( being gay has nuthin to do with it) and the other "beat-niks", yeah, thats right, punk! and then of course, the MC5- iggy pop and the stooges- sex pistols. GET IT???
