What the f*** is it???
 

Ayt lads/lassies. New kid on the block here. No good wiff intros. Ta

I wanna kno what da f*** punk music really is.

Is it a sound? Is it an image? Is it an attitude?
Is it an amalgamation of all these tings?

So come on children, don't be shy. Step right up. Tara

One could just post this:

Punk rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...but to me from what I've seen (and I grew up along side of it), is that Punk is angst. Lashing out at all that is conformism, and oppression. In simple terms.

Werd.

"I grew up thinkin I knew what punk was. Then one day I asked some blokey who his favourite punk band was and he gave me spastic obstreperousness"
does anyone here feel me?

That would be a symptom, yes.

I hate these conversations. Black Flag is punk - but so is Television, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Nausea, The Screamers, Circle Takes the Square and very select parts of Green Day's career. Does that make any sense to define a 'sound?" Not really. It's pretty annoying in fact to deliberately try and put something in a box that defines itself by how much of the box it can break. These arguments never go anywhere and punk fans seem obsessed with having it still, even though no one ever agrees or comes to a conclusion (other than like making fun of Fall Out Boy or something.)

Punk is a stupid word and conversations like this make it a stupider one.
