Why are there no punks left? If there are no punks left, can someone explain the term to me?

Oh, there are plenty of punks left.

There are so many different definitions of punk, but I'll give you mine:
It isn't a fashion, it isn't a music scene (god knows I listen to 70's uk punk and i'm the furthest from punk you could ever be). It isn't about being a left wing anarchist, it isn't about that.
It's pretty much undefined: you can't label yourself as a punk, you just are. The first punks didn't label themselves punk, they just were.

So I think; you shouldn't go out and try to be Punk, it'll come to you if you really are.


Someone wrote that there are no punks left . . . I was trying to figure it out. I know you can't call yourself a punk. It's a state of mind, IMO, and to call yourself a punk is totally hypocritical. If you fit the stereotype, it isn't YOUR fault !

Oh yeah, I get is all the time and so does my Sis.

E.G.

Girl: What are you?
My Sis: ...Ruby...
Girl: So your a goth then??
My Sis: No I'm Ruby...

All these people in my School are trying to go "Goth" and one of them went to me?

Girl: What are you?
Me: Myself...
Girl: Are you a punk?
Me: No....
Girl: But your a non-chav right?
Me: ...Sure whatever... *walks away*

And the other day I got.

Boy holding door shut: Goth's aren't aloud through this door...

Goodbye Forever: I get that all the time. "Are you goth?"
Me: "No, you dumbass! You can't even define goth, so don't call people things you nothing about."
Other person: "Oh, okay, Goth."
*angry face*

i remember when a girl turned on me, calling me goth, mosher, greasy greebo, and shit like that... i was reduced to tears twice, and considered suicide.

after the heat was off, and after about a month, shes ok again and we were kinda friends again... now she says to me "oh, im going mosher," and im like "WTF? you cant just say your gonna become a label... thats stupid" and she wasnt listening... she was headbanging.

AND all the chavs in my school are mates with her. because she says to them "chavs rule, im a chav," and says to me "im a mosher, chavs suck."
shes nice to me, but this is just two faced...

i have three labels.
CHAV: tracksuit, trousers tucked in socks, etc...
ANTI-CHAV: hates chavs, because the chavs label them, so it causes tension.
PEOPLE WHO ARENT INVOLVED: they can like both, none or one of the above, and arent bothered by chavs.

its easier Very Happy

Oh wonderful, lets all promote labels and social cliques. Chavs don't exist, along with punks, preps, goths, ect. Anyone who goes on and on about their label can be called an Idiot, I know plenty of those.
