I was a punk rocker back in high school, which was about 10 years ago.  Back then, we never would look like the pseudo punks today if our lives depended on it.  Somehow, punk has gone corporate.  If I were still punk it would bother me, but I just think that punks should get back to their roots.

I think it's cool to see a black punk. FiFi Dobson is a bit annoying though...Other than her, there needs to be more. Eminem made it into the black world, why can't a black make it into the white world? We need more meshing of colors..makes pretty kids!

so far the majority of the people who have answered your question don't have a clue. it is beautiful in its own right. and the girl who wrote that goth and punk are way different is completelly correct. Personally, it suits me. but those who say it is just a phase, or for angsty teens, have no idea what they are talking about.

First thing I think of is punk rock.\n\nI guess I'm picturing no hair and a leather jacket.  I don't know if that's what you guys still wear--I'm a child of the '80s.

I think its a kick-ass-tic band name. Its simple, its SWEET, and it rocks. You can also do a lot with a design with a logo with that name. I say its ROCKS. Keep it and hopefully you'll be famous with a name like that.\n\nROCK ON ALWAYS!!

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.

The phrase "punk rock" (from "punk", meaning worthless or snotty, often applied to a street hustler or a young person who is disrespectful of authority, or disaffected youth; also meaning a beginner or novice [1]) was originally applied to the untutored guitar-and-vocals-based rock and roll of United States bands of the mid-1960s such as The Standells, The Sonics, and The Seeds, bands that now are more often categorized as "garage rock".\n\nThe term was coined by rock critic Dave Marsh, who used it to describe the music of ? and the Mysterians in the May 1971 issue of Creem magazine, and it was adopted by many rock music journalists in the early 1970s. For example, in the liner notes of the 1972 anthology album Nuggets, critic and guitarist Lenny Kaye uses the term "punk-rock" to refer to the Sixties "garage rock" groups, as well as some of the darker and more primitive practitioners of 1960s psychedelia. Shortly after the time of those notes, Lenny Kaye formed a band with avant-garde poet Patti Smith. Smith's group, and her first album, Horses, released in 1975, directly inspired many of the mid-1970s punk rockers, so this suggests one path by which the term migrated to the music we now know as punk.\n\nIn addition to the inspiration of those "garage bands" of the 1960s, the roots of punk rock draw on the abrasive, dissonant style of The Velvet Underground; the rebellious attitide and free spirit of The Doors and the snotty attitude and aggressive instrumentation of The Who and the early Rolling Stones; the sexuality, political confrontation, and surreal violence of Detroit bands The Stooges and MC5; the UK pub rock scene and political UK underground bands such as Mick Farren and the Deviants; the New York Dolls, and some British "glam rock" or "art rock" acts of the early 1970s, including David Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Roxy Music.

Have I ever seen a punk? I grew up in the 70's! Cut my teeth on Fear, Circle Jerks, DK, & Black Flag. This crap today is anything but punk. Rent the movie "The Decline of the Western Civilization" for great shots of Punks & even greater music.

I'm not much of a modern punk person, but I'm big into the old bands who formed punk.\n\nTry the Seeds, The Sex Pistols (big fav), the damned, and last but not least, The Clash\n\nI know those weren't really 5 CD's, but I hope it helped.
