For me, Punk Rock is all about dealing with things honestly with no pretentions, or pretentiousness, it's about giving the establishment the "two-fingered salute", it's about living life, it's about speaking your mind and not being afraid to speak your mind, it's also about standing up for what you believe in.

Naw, it’s about conforming with the rest of the punk movement and saying the ‘right’ things to fit in with the group think. John Lydon and Animal are exceptions but the vast majority of these guys hold identical opinions about matters which disappointingly are the same views trumpeted by global corporations.
@crooked-halo7 ай бұрын
@@wattage2007 Yes and thank you. That's why I'm not a punker. I'm not hardcore, either. I'm passionate about, and enjoy the music and the live performances. Or I don't. It's all about the song, the music, the band & show and how I feel when it's happening. Second in importance is any positive life change I might experience resulting from this music, and the history of the music (which I'm fascinated with). Kevin Seconds of the awesome band 7 Seconds said it well in the song New Wind; "I'm not a punker, I'm just a human being with an urge to exercise what's in my heart and mind."
