    As a kid, I didnt really understand “punk”. Based of how media portrayed them, they were always a gang, always looking to start trouble and destroy things, get into fights, commit crimes, all the bad shit people didnt like. Then as an adult, I come to find it was just a music movement, like hiphop and rock. So what the fuck? And then it turns out punk music was pretty cool, too.

      Given how political punk was right from the start, I wouldn’t call it “just a music movement”.

      It also has a big Anarchy vibe.

      Going against the norm, which the norm doesn’t like.

      like anything it had its influences and influenced others. Had its pure true believers and posers. To me true punk folks you would know when you slammed dance with them and it was fun and although a bit scary you felt safe.
