Many people try to define punk as a type of fashion, music or way of life but to me they have it completely wrong. People think to be punk is a bad thing, but it's the best thing in the world. Maybe you think you're punk because you listen to Green Day. Maybe you think you're punk because you have spiked hair and plaid pants.
Punk is pretty undefinable, but my overall opinion on it is this:
Punk is about completely being yourself, doing what you want to do, liking what you want to like, wearing what you want to wear, listening to what you want to listen to. It is about getting through life on your own without being controlled because at the end of the day, it's all down to you. It's about making your own decisions in life. You don't have to have a bad attitude towards life, in fact punk is about turning your life around and making the bad times into good times. It's not a type of fashion. It's not just a genre of music. It's, as corny as it sounds, a way of life and being true to yourself. Not giving a damn what other people think. Listening to early punk music doesn't make you any more or any less of a punk than people who listen to The Casualties.
I got into it through the music and I just realised that it's the perfect way to live your life. Screw following fashions and listening to a certain type of music just because it makes you look cool. Nothing is better than to be yourself.
