How about just coming up with an original style of your own and not ripping off other people's styles?  That right there is punk as f*ck.\n\nI hate people who think they have to dress or act a certain way just because they prefer a certain genre of music.  Do me a favor, go to a punk show dressed completely in urban clothes (roca, phat pharm, whatever is trendy in urban clothing)... that too would be punk as f*ck.

Hey I don't know why everyone's getting their knickers in a knot! I totally agree, kids like that do seem middle class. I suppose it's cos there's a kind of intellectual side to this kind of look too, you know poetry, looking for a deeper meaning in lyrics, they've got nothing else to worry about so they can reflect on the meaning of life, or death, politics, etc. \n\nAnd yes this is a question about stereotypes, about people with a certain style. Nobody gets upset when you say 'hippy' or 'punk' do they? Why's everyone being so defensive? Are they all middle class with long hair or what?

I think his hair looks a bit odd (it was in a kind of mohawk last time I checked). They seem like good lads though, from what I've read of them in magazines. And when I'm in the mood for something a little slower I'll put their CD on.

The true meaning of punk is not caring about anyone or anything except yourself. True punks reject all the norms of society and are rather hedonistic. \n\nToday, "punk" has been commericalized to an extreme. You're right in your observation that it's a way of dressing instead of an attitude. (No one really has the attitude, Simple Plan punk? Give me a break) If the blame lies with anyone it's the record companies, they're the ones shoving this down our throats. But I'm betting that there might be some decent bands in your area if you look hard enough.

Cuz they are searching for identity.  I never classify myself, although others call me punk most or the time cuz I wear lots of black and gray, but sometimes I have been called a Goth. or if I am dressed up for something conservative, Metro.\n\nI don't really care, I dress the way I like, and I like chicks who dress the same way too.  People also say I only go for Punk of Goth chicks, but that's not it.  I like chicks in leather and vinyl, and corsets and stockings, so they are the ones I am seen with.  I am not inclined to want to meet some bare legged sneaker and jeans chick.  I leave them for the preps.

There are definitely more "punk" influences in fashion today.

no, there are different meanings of punk, you can be punk if you listen to punk and dress like punk, and old people call you punk, means i guess that your just a PUNK thats all, depends on your behavior, id say, go to dictionary and look up word PUNK, it should define it for ya. See if you fall into that category.

First of all, the phrase "dress punk" is one of the most fucking stupid things I've ever heard.  You seem to be suggesting that people can't do or wear what they want, and can only wear the punk "uniform" if they completely abide by the laws of the stereotype.  If you're so punk, why are you so obsessed with labels? \n\nSecondly, the fact that there even is such a thing as punk clothes is insanely depressing.  Punk is NOT supposed to be about fitting into a fucking stereotype.\n\nYou're right though- it's the way you act that makes you punk, if you wanna call it that.  I'm a fan of punk music- and I'm not talking about modern crap like Green Day or Fall Out Boy.  I think punk as a subculture is kickass- it had a drive and a purpose.  It had ideals.  Punk as a stereotype, though- as a trend or a fashion statement- pisses me off.  While you might assume that because I dislike punk as a fashion statement that I also dislike people who "dress punk", that's not the case.  I don't believe in the phrase "dress punk".  People can dress however the hell they want.  If they like the look, whatever.  But if they're doing it in order to look punk because they think it's cool, that's fucked up.\n\nI'm honestly not trying to insult you, so I'm sorry if it came off that way.  I was a little pissed at first, but I really can't blame you for your statement.  I'm just trying to make a point...  I don't consider myself punk, but I listen to punk music, my hair is dyed bright red, I wear a lot of black, and I've got a thing for leather, and because of that some people jump to the conclusion that I'm trying to make myself look punk in order to be cool.  I'm not.  I like punk music.  I dyed my hair for fun, and for myself- not anyone else.  I like extremes, and black is an extreme.  And honestly, who doesn't like leather (except for vegetarians, who are some of the coolest people in the world)?  And another thing- I probably could call myself punk if I wanted to, and I wouldn't piss off too many people.  But the point is, I don't want to.  I don't feel the need to cram myself into some label, because I'm not that predictable.  There's more to me than that.  \n\nI don't know if I'm making sense, but there it is.  And uh...  after rereading this, I realized my first paragraph or two may have been a little harsh.  While I won't edit it, I will apologize if I came off as a bitch.  I don't know you, and I can't really judge you.

Look for Joico's Ice spiker on the net and Tigi bed head both good for punk type cuts dep on hair lenght...\n\nAlso seek out 'Stargazer' hairspray... UV glow in the dark.\n\nLook up cyberpunk and psi trance scenes as they have radical stuff...\n\nYou may be able to get tips from www.accessallareas.org

i would consider myself somewhat of a punk. sometimes because of the way i act and dress. and definately because of the music that i listen to.

what the fuck are you talking about. here are some points i'd like to outline:\n\n1. punk is a counter-culture\n2. hip-hop is a counter-culture\n3. they hate each other, thinking the other weak and lacking credibility\n4. punk, or punk rock is the music of the punk culture\n5. rap is the music of hip-hop culture\n6. people who are not actively involved in that culture can still make the music \n7. thats ok\n8. but only as long as they don't misrepresent the culture\n9. because of posers, people think punks are whiny little emos who listen to hermaphordite freaks.\n10. also because of posers, people think that those from the hip-hop culture are violent, womazing, egotistical blacks.\n11. niether is true.\n\ni believe you are referring to those outlined in #10 personally, i listen to punk rock music and i live the lifestyle. i try not to bow to authority. i dislike rap as music, but it means as much to some black dude as punk rock does to me, so i don't talk bad about it. i do talk bad about posers who get on the radio and talk about how much they like sex, both in poser-rap and in poser-punk. thank you. best answer please.

No. I would never let a stranger near me with a sharp object. I also love my long hair and I think I would be very upset if it was cut on me.

piercing your tongue is not a "gpth" or "punk" thing to do, just to clear things up... i've seen many people who look neither goth nor punk with tongue rings and other such piercings...\n\ngoth and punk are both subcultures derived from different types of music that started back in the seventies and eighties.  i don't claim to know much about goth rock and the whole goth scene, because that's definitely not my thing, and saying that they're all depressed and only wear black would be completely stereotyping them.  i've known a few goth kids and have seen a bunch, and i know for a fact that a lot of them like to write poetry and are into the whole gothic thing (vampires, fantasy, whatever).  also, goth kids can wear typically all black or all white, but then again there are those who go against the grain and wear whatever the heck they want...\n\npunk is much more my thing (i really could go on about it all day).  it too is derived from music and then became a subculture.  it's all about the music (for me at least) - going to shows, playing in shows, whatever...  some people dress punk but aren't and some people are punk but dress however they want (meaning no hair-dyeing, bondage straps, chokers and whatever other stereotypes there are out there).  so, yeah, there is a HUGE difference between goth and punk, but wither way that shouldn't have any affect on getting your tongue pierced or not (even hypothetically)...

Countless! And here's why...\n\n  Everyone has their own style. A person's style of headbanging can also change with their personal style. Is you hair long? Short? Curly? Are you wearing converse? Vans? Dare I say...loafers? I think we would all agree the loafer wearer would have a slightly different style than the rest.\n  Are you old? Are you wearing chunky jewerly? (Wouldn't want to get smacked in the face with a giant gold $ necklace)\n  You can mix and match styles or you can stay with your tried and true favortite, but the truth is...there are many, and I have respect for them all.
