Why do so many people think that punk rock is all about the way you dress???

I mean, all theese stupid people will put on theese ridiculous clothes and think that they are all of a sudden so punk rock and so cool. Do you think The Ramones ever went around wearing jeans ripped in every direction and hair that took two hours to be crafted so it would be just perfect? I think Not

AND what's most annoying is how all thees peole listen to bands like fall out Boy or avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, or Simple Plan.

What ever happened to listenign to real bands like the Clash or the Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, The Misfits??? Dose anyone still listen to thoose bands??

Punk is a state of mind and not a fashion statement! I have been told this many times by "real" punk fans.

I am not a big punk fan, but I love the Dead Kennedys.

Jello Biafra is the sh*t.

"California Uber Alles"

I am Governor Jerry Brown

My aura smiles

And never frowns

Soon I will be president...

Carter Power will soon go away

I will be Fuhrer one day

I will command all of you

Your kids will meditate in school

Your kids will meditate in school!

[Chorus:]

California Uber Alles

California Uber Alles

Uber Alles California

Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you

100% natural

You will jog for the master race

And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here

Big Bro' on white horse is near

The hippies won't come back you say

Mellow out or you will pay

Mellow out or you will pay!

[Chorus]

Now it is 1984

Knock-knock at your front door

It's the suede/denim secret police

They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp

You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp

Don't you worry, it's only a shower

For your clothes here's a pretty flower.

DIE on organic poison gas

Serpent's egg's already hatched

You will croak, you little clown

When you mess with President Brown

When you mess with President Brown

[Chorus]

Ramones, The Clash, the Sex Pistols, and a couple protopunk bands. I don't really listen to hardcore punk. I'll try some of it eventually.

Who are you talking about? Ive never met these people. A cop stopped me on the street and sat me up back to my hut cause of what i was wearing. i dont give a damn if who ever you are talking about dresses "punk rock" or not. We should all tape our eyes ******* shut. If they really earned the title of a "punk" does it matter what they listen to or wear?

i think the sex pistols suck.

a ******* 2 year old could be a punk.

a naked *** baby could be more punk rock than any of those pussys from The Casualties.

THEY DONT THINK IT IS ABOUT THE WAY YOU DRESS..IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WAY YOU CONDUCT YOURSELF.YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST CAME OUT OF A GARBAGE CAN THE WAY YOU DRESS,AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,YOU ACT LIKE THAT TOO.

PUNT ROCK WAQS BUILT ON LOOKING AND ACTING OUT OF THE NORM..THATS FINE,BUT DONT TRY SCARING PEOPLE WITH THE WAY YOU ACT...IF YOU ACT LIKE USELESS PUNKS,YOU GET TREATED LIKE THAT.PUNK ROCK IS JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR MISGUIDED YOUTH TO THINK THEY "STAND OUT".

THE ONLY THING THEY LOOK LIKE ARE BRAIN DEAD DRUG ADDICTS...SORRY BUT IF THE SHOE FITS...

Why do so many people think that punk rock is all about the way you dress???

Because people are dumb.

I personally like bands like The Used (which somewhat can relate to FOB and GC), and I don't really care about bands like the Clash or the Misfits (definately hate Dead Kennedys), but I totally understand what you're saying. I do hate when people think rock is about the way you dress and do your hair. Like those scene kids who have to have big hair. It's stupid, they look like freakin MULLETS! I can't stand that. It's like they just got into a cat fight. Haha. And they think it's cool because it looks "different" and "original". But hello, originality has lost it's true meaning. Everyone tries so hard to be it, but look at how they dress and they way they try to do their hair.

URGH! they make me mad...to thee max! haha.

Rock %26amp; Roll has ALWAYS gone hand in hand with style and attitude......nothing new.

Elvis and the other rock-a-billys wore pegged pants, drape jackets, cuffed levis, and BIG pomps.

British Invasion bands wore matching suits, as did all Motown acts, soul bands, r %26amp; b bands.

West coast bands like Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Byrds, Doors, etc. adopted western clothing or thrift store finds.

Punk was DEFINATELY about style and attitiude! I lived through it and I can guarantee you that bands and fans were VERY aware of there look. Where do you think all the safety pins, creepers, leather biker jackets with patches, torn jeans, converse all-stars, etc, came from?

everyone knows punk rock is about how bad they sing.

Yes I do listen to those bands and you might want to check out The Casualties, they are a true old school punk band.

People have always confused punk with fashion or a certain style.

I think Sid Vicious said it best....when asked what is punk, he kicked over a garbage can. The person asking then kicked over a garbage can and replied so that is punk? Sid replied No that is a trend.

I think dressing punk is just wearing what you want and "rebelling" against the current trends and the clothes everyone thinks you should wear. I think it should be about the music, though.

I hate Fall Out Boy and ARVIL (that's what I call her)
