But there's actually a lot of punk bands out there that go out of the norm, use odd time signatures, or a lot of different tempo changes in a song.
A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing.
I listened a little to punk when I was younger, but it was straight edge punk. It was nothing like what is going on now, like poppy punk.
I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.
Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.
A punk concert isn't fun without a pit.
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
Punk will never be dead to me. It's my life. I can never just drop this lifestyle. It embodies me.
There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.
