"Punk music is loud, fast and not giving a fuck. Rock with attitude that's in your face without holding back."

"To me punk is a message driven musical movement, very positive and for the most part has something to say, but I'm from Maine, what does Maine know about punk?"

"Ok, my friends theory on new punk (this is funny): New punk: "I hate my mommy I had a girlfriend, she dumped me, life sucks!" New punk fans: "Wow this is great! I hate my mommy too, and I'm not cool enough to have a girlfriend, but if I did I'm sure she'd dump me too!"
I dont like new punk so much, especially pop that claims to be punk. I like the real stuff, the old stuff.

"I say punk music is an honest projection, speaking out against the norm I'm afraid more and more that punk rock is becoming turned into a uniform. Something you can classify and buy at the local 'Hot Topic' Punk Rock is an idea. And the minute you can label it and slap it on a t-shirt, there's something definitely wrong with the world

"To me punk isn't about the clothes or looking a certain way, its all just about the music. People who are like "ohh look at me I wear this shirt so I am so punk rock" piss me off because thats not what its about. Anyone can like the music as long as they like the true form of it. None of this Good Charlotte bullshit. I know that everyone calls them sell-outs but its not even about that, its about the fact that these bands have been out for a long time and are trying to act like they havn't so they can be on spankin new music week on stupid ass mtv. It's sad these bands are making it about money and not about the music like it used to be. A lot of good punk bands dont make a lot of money but they do it because they want to be heard and that's all, they don't need to charge 30 dollars for a concert ticket."

"I think that punk music is fun to listen to, I think that it's a chance for people my age to get together and have a good time and to really express themselves."

"I think punk is a state of mind. It's that feeling that something's wrong with the world and you wanna be the one to change it, but you don't know how...and punk music is a reflection of those thoughts....unless of course your definition of punk music is shaped by the way it sounds rather than the ideas portrayed in the lyrics."
