Mielestäni the Offspringin kitaristi (Noodles) kiteyttää asian loistavasti;
"We grew up as a band in the hardcore era of the punk scene in SoCal and the US. We were clubbed by the cops, stabbed by skinheads, and traveled across the country in a van, at our own expense, to play punk rock music in punk rock clubs with other punk rock bands.
We played in the worst dive parts of towns with such bands as DI, Agnostic Front, NoFX, Pennywise, Bad Religion, The Lunachicks, Op Ivy, Echonochrist, Christ On Parade, Christ on a Crutch, Neurosis, Verbal Assault, Capitol Punishment, Dr Know, Guttermouth, Green Day, Final Conflict, Shattered Faith, The Adolescents, and TSOL, just to drop a few names.
This was just during the first ten years of being a band. The scene is different today. Now Good Charlotte and Avril Lavigne are considered punk by some people. others only see punk as a narrowly defined set of rules. Is it a fashion, attitude, or a system of beliefs? I only know what it means to me. I do believe that we are a punk band, but I think we've had to transcend the more traditional and narrow definitions of what punk is.
We love punk rock and we always will, but we aren't going to limit ourselves to other people's definitions of it."

Kurt Cobainia lainatakseni: "Punk is freedom"
mitäs mieltä ihan itse olette? eli mitä on punk?
Ihan omin sanoin ja ajatuksin, eli ei ketään lainaten?
Punk on kuollut. Myöntäkää se. Lama-ajat yms on ohi, yhteiskunnalla alkaa mennä paremmin (vertailkaa 70-80 lukua).
Ja mitäs ne oikeat punkkarit sanovatkaan:
"Punk oli in silloin meidän nuoruudessamme, keksikää nykynuoret jotain uutta"
Oikeet punkkarit? 70-80-luvulla, ja pitäisi vielä keksiä jotain omaa? Punk 70-luvun puolessavälissä oli vaan enemmän esillä koska siitä tuli enemmän median "lellikki" mutta punk ei sinäänsä ollut uusi juttu ja ja tuossa 20-vuoden (70-80-luku) punk kerkesi olla muodissa useamminkin kuin kerran ja monessa erimuodossa. Eli annetaan kaikkien olla mitä haluaa
