Why do some of the rockers, or punks put band-aids on the tip of their fingers?

Rodney may be right, but the first two answers also seem correct.\n\nBut i think i'd go along with the heroine thing.

not all of us do.\n\nthat is so stereotypical of you to label punks as druggies. i know lots of people who take drugs, and NONE of them are punk!!!!

Each finger has its own distinctive mark. So, the answer is they are different.

There is no certain type of technology...it has to do with the band's choice on equipment. If you visit websites of britpop bands you can see what they use.

it makes their butt tight.  which makes it looks better. try this-hold both cheeks standing flat footed then stand on your tip toes.

Unfortunately, the origins are lost in the mists of time. The Romans referred to the middle finger as the digitus impudicus (Indecent digit) and writings suggest that flipping the middle finger was offensive. But it is also culture based. You might see in some British comedies characters forming a V and giving a raspberry (a "phthbt" noise with the tongue and lips) which is apparently a very rude gesture in England.

Obviously they are either not good Christians or they do not agree that the music they are listening to is Satanic.\n\nI can not say which it is because I do not know which bands or musicians you are talking about, but the line is different for many people.

To some ppl it is like putting up a flag to other "freakies" that they are one. I think it is a waste of time to put that much effort into your looks, esp. to look so weird. The look is music-based, so that has something to do with it. The whole mindset is industrial-music based anti-mainstream (which is no longer true) with drug overtones. It is not common to come across a goth that doesn't do drugs or at least drink. This is another reason to put up the "flag"- drug connects. They also are (for the most part) elitist...and kinda snobby. That is also an appeal for some people\n\nMost grow out of this Goth thing by their mid twenties at the latest. The ones that don't are the ones you should REALLY look out for.

Some people with OCD or impulse control disorders do it.  Its a compulsive behavior.  Kind of like trichotillomania.

I believe these kinds of bands, together with other artists like Steve Vai and Eric Johnson, are not so popular in the mainstream because they are a little more virtuosic, improvisational, and experimental (instead of playing what they think will sell) with their musical expression than most rock music fans are used to. Though they have a Rock sound and look to them, their approach to writing songs and performing is more like that of Jazz musicians (real Jazz, not "Smooth Jazz") so the average rock music fan can't really understand or appreciate it. That is why most of their fans are other musicians, because they understand the level of technical difficulty that goes into executing the things these artists do.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it originated with the Rolling Stones as they described their backstage parties for an interview of somesort. The saying has pretty much been adopted by every rock group and wannabe rocker eversince as a way of answering why they're in the music buisness.

Band-Aids\nby Shel Silverstein\n\nI have a Band-Aid on my finger,\nOne on my knee, and one on my nose,\nOne on my heel, and two on my shoulder,\nThree on my elbow, and nine on my toes.\nTwo on my wrist, and one on my ankle,\nOne on my chin, and one on my thigh,\nFour on my belly, and five on my bottom,\nOne on my forehead, and one on my eye.\nOne on my neck, and in case I might need em\nI have a box of thirty-five more.\nBut oh! I do think it's sort of a pity\nI don't have a cut or a sore!\n\nWhere the Sidewalk Ends, 1974

Punk was origionally from the street.  The saftey pins and torn clothing is because that is what they could afford, if there was a hole, use a saftey pin.  You wore what you could, you ate what you could, your hair was how it was.  And of course it evolved to funky hairdo's and creating their own style.  What I am trying to say is that REAL Punk is from the street, REAL Punk's were tough, REAL Punk's could take anything life threw at them.  Unfortunatly most of the "Punk" kids these days are lil suburb kids who cry cuz their parents didnt hug them enough. My advice, Grow up, take pride in yourself.  Be respectable to you and others.  Stand out because you are unique, not because you dress and look like crap.  By the way, back in the day, Real Punk's NEVER referred to themselves as "Punk" others more fortunate gave them that word.  Um one more lil tidbit: in prison a "Punk" is alot of times referred to someone on the "Recieving" end.
