Ive always thought Punk is all about rebelliousness.
Before punk bands even know how to play they have the attitude of punk as their main drive learning how to play tends to come second. ive always thought the spirit of punk is tied to the youth sense of defiance, alot of them speak of anarchy and follow a punk ethic that hardly stands for anything except pure rebelliousness.
I think this why most punks don't stay a punk forever, even the bands spearheading the movements eventually mature and break out of the punk movement because for most ppl being a punk was just a phase.
That's not to say you can't enjoy punk music without being a punk, even if you move on you can enjoy the music for what it is without tying your identity to it.
