		Punk is inherently a contradiction because people define it as 'not caring about what other people think', but at the same time the punk scene is more rigidly socially defined than most other scenes.
		Punk isnt just caring about yourself though, because it is full of politics, liberalism, etc - at least within the punk scene, ideally, there is a community created of people who dont want to live the mainstream but can support each other and live their lives how they want, and help others do the same.
		Punk is not dressing as if you forgot is wasn't London, the year was 1978, and you were a lower middle class hooligan, whose mother worked in a meat-packing plant, and whose father was an alcoholic.

	Youth Culture and New technologies - Subculture - Punk - M/Cyclopedia of New Media
		The origination of punk music and culture in Britain in the 1970’s was seen by many as a cultural revolution that was to take over from the demise of Rock ’n’ Roll and experimentations of progressive rock that were prominent in the late sixties.
		Punk was seen as a renewed return to the rebellious roots, established by Rock ’n’ Roll and also as a sign that particularly, the youth of society, were fighting against the status quo and by challenging the basic look of society they were inherently challenging its morals and values (Winant, 2005).
		Punk subculture is reliant on fashion and style as the predominant means of transmission of values but the role of the media, particularly in this present technologically advanced and information dependant society is of increasing relevance.

	Pop Punk Owns You
		Skate punk has shown to be the most diverse of the various genres of punk, as it started as a blending of two different styles of music and has continued on and on to add more and more.
		Punk, since it started in the later sixties, has been building a diverse, meaningful counter culture, a revolutionary new place in society for those who feel left out and turned down by “the system.” Modern pop/bubblegum punk has failed to achieve that.
		To people who live the culture of punk rock, to those for which it is more than just a style of music and clothing but also a way of life, this bastardization is on level with blasphemy.

		The baggy overcoats of Pere Ubu were as punk as the leather jackets of The Ramones, and as punk as the flightsuits and goggles of Devo.
		In a way, punk rock became similar to dance culture and club culture where the music is also seen as having a canon, but capable of (and in need of) constant evolution and adaptation, although it is doubtful that dance culture has become as relentlessly doctrinaire as modern punk culture.
		Punk bands that have achieved a modicum of mainstream success such as Green Day were seen as derivative of the original canon and also as "selling out" by a community that tries to avoid major record labels and access to widespread audiences as a conscious decision.

		Specifically in the punk rock subculture, this meaning derives from the notion that it is a culture within itself, outside of the mainstream culture, and the various elements within that subculture act as a unifying force.

		Punk culture gives those rejected from main stream society a sense of belonging, that they are a part of a greater whole.

		The problem is Punk got dumped into this genre started by the Ramones but popularized by bands like Crass, the dead kennedys, the germs, fl flag, etc. as well perceived notions of punk being an anti-establishment came out from this.
		Punk really started with the velvet underground, mc5, the stooges, the new york dolls, television, Richard hell, patti smith, the dead boys etc who sounded like what people know as modern.
		Punk politics is not for the most part demanding a revolutionary over throw of the modern social system just revolutionary changes within these systems that promote true individualism, personal freedom, and equality.

		Punk animosity reached a new peak of awareness as Bad Religion convinced skeptics that — despite blows to the head, gangly piercings and tattoos — punks were capable of being intellectuals.
		In the safe harbor of dark garages and smoky clubs, punk phenomenons like Black Flag and G.G. Allin screamed a lot and forced their veins to bulge out of their necks as though they were intent on breaking through that pesky dermal layer.
		In 1995, 146 years after the California Gold Rush, four punks influenced by the horde of intense and livid music they were surrounded by were so deeply entrenched in their love for punk rock that they decided to form a band.

	Punk
		Punk rock (from 'punk', meaning rotten, worthless, or a prison slang term for a person who is sexualy submissive) was originally used to describe the primitive guitar based rock and roll of 1960s bands such as The Seeds, and later Detroit bands The Stooges and MC5.

		The Punk explosion in the United Kingdom led to a massive upsurge of interest in fanzines as an alternative to the mainstream media that was felt to be too exploitative, capitalist, and essentially uninterested in the Punk Movement and the concerns of disaffected youth.

	Zen and the art of slam dancing - The Boston Globe
		But as two recent books and an increasing number of punk veterans attest, this is precisely the space that can prepare an individual to discover the same enlightenment that the Buddha did more than 2,500 years ago while sitting beneath a tree.
		Punk bands who play on the floor (in small clubs that lack stages) are making a demand similar to Zen masters who speak of "killing the Buddha," inviting the audience and the chaos of the pit to efface the performers, who are, after all, the de facto leaders of punk culture.
		Chris Raiche, bassist for the underground punk band Eulcid (that's the Greek geometry guru, purposely misspelled) and a Zen practitioner who lived at the Cambridge Zen Center before moving to North Carolina this past June, supports this idea of self-effacement in punk.

		As much as it breaks our hearts to write these words, the final issue of Punk Planet is in the post, possibly heading toward you right now.
		Over the last 80 issues and 13 years, we've covered every aspect of the financially independent, emotionally autonomous, free culture we refer to as "the underground." In that time we've sounded many alarms from our editorial offices: about threats of co-optation, big-media emulation, and unseen corporate sponsorship.
		Not in the sense that I’m so disgusted with Sonic Youth for signing with Starbucks that I must give up on the idea of supporting autonomous music cultures (although I sympathize with those who are), but in the sense that Sonic Youth is willing to do what I was not.
