Punk Explaination For The "Man"

Punk by definition can be anything. Its rebelling against auothrity and the generally norm/the crowd. Its going against the crowd and doing your own thing. Now, my honey bunchs this may shock you to learn there are many variations and styles to the wide genre known as "punk".
Punk orginated in London around the late 70's. It was the time when the slogan "disco sucks" riegened. Then slowly punk came to the New World. Bands like the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, The Clash and many others slowly began getting a following.
Punk is not just spikey haired, leather wearing tight pants, pierced dirty individuals who are socially awkward and cant function in society so they rebel. NO! While the majority are like that there are diffrent levels. Some are the sneering angry people you see but more then not they are the skaters or those you like their music like they like there lovers. Loud, Fast and with lots of incoherent screaming. Which brings me to another point.
There are variations of punk. Theres punk rock, punk, ska punk, psychobilly, punk metal and hardcore punk. Each have there own unique style and sound. From the more rock-a-billy sounds of psychobilly to the trumpet and trombone blaring ska punk. From the Rancid to the Thrice. From Social Distortion to Greenday. There are diffrent styles and sounds of punk. Punk will always change the face of music but punk rock isnt the only form. There can be punk rap, punk hip hop, punk country? Well maybe not that far but still. Love live punk. Now my little pierced peons go eat your chili and fries. Adieu
