different punks stand for different things.
being punk is about standing up for what you believe in and what you think is right.
but of course punks are all leaning towards left-wing political views.
some punks are anti-capitalist, thats why they boycott corporation restaurants such as mcdonalds, some punks are anti-violence and hatred from racial and religious differences, etc.
not all punks live in the squatters and eat leftover food and smoke crack.
to sum it up, punks are basically rebels with a cause

lol in singapore i belive its widely misqouted kids dres up thiking thtas punk.true punk is a way of life a cluture not a fashion statement
and well ha yea the ot part shopuld i explain is what i mean like thse ppl that has been livin out the punk culture for a long time not like a rank to make them rule over yp. but well to sum it up there has been a lot of ides on what punk should be anyway its debatable coz there are quite a number of senior punks out teher and to what i ask all have diffrent says but wel i guess the truest answers are in the minds ofthe beholder.
punk is beyond music. there is actually an active (counter)culture here (loosely given the monicker 'the DIY punks'), where they do non-commercial gigs, live a subjectively non-normal lifestyle and also feature the best musicians and artists you could ever find.
these punks are all individuals who can agree to disagree, and some of them have broadened their spectrum into social activism, vegetarianism, etc. true there are pointless fashion types but they exist in any 'scene', but do not forget that most fashion punks are young and are very much unexposed to the real culture.
these fashion punks are probably the reason why the whole lot of you generate them as idiots and imitators, but there are the few 'underground' real deal types here.
these punks shy away from mainstream coverage and because they are 'more-than-music', you hardly find anyone of them talking about music related issues on soft.com.sg
there are practically no leads on what these folks are up to, unless you have some luck on google. thus those wanting to find out more should surf www.LIONCITYDIY.com and check out those gigs!
i've been to a few and they are fun as hell. totally non-professional but warm underground atmosphere!

i recalled an incident last week or last two weeks, i was at city hall with two of my friends deciding where to go..
spotted a few punks, then came a few skins, then another small group of punks, all with the same shitty attitude. -_-
come on man, when i smile, you should smile!
i smiled at them, all they gave me was a what-you-call that black face or a fierce stare!
i mean, that's like promoting violence...
i've always put this thing into my mind, 'punk is not about violence'.
but, the punks in peninsular/city hall is clearly promoting violence.
that's based on my experience though.

wow, that's singapore!
lots of crictism.. but the pics taken are all a bunch of 14yrs-16yrs or mayb 17...
i wonder if they know their knowledge well...
it's not worth being a punk if one fail to take notice of the current situation of singapore and the world..
if one fail to realize that education IS important, then, their efforts to be a punk would be going down the drain. simply put, wasted.
anyway, guys.
please do this everyday by going to this 2 website.

Those stompers are goddamn ignorant la.. those damn kaypo nothing to do go take picture of dog shit and post on internet and make a big fuss about it.
Most of the racists I know are chinese anyway, malays don't give a shit about colour.. I'm a chinese myself and I know most of the traditional chinese thinking is still alive in the older generation.
FALLACY OF COMPOSITION!

social problems?
punks and skinheads are individuals living a life of rebellion for a cause and a with a cause.
it has nothing to do with racism or violence. in fact, they should be against that.
mainstream media has injected the information that punks and skinheads are a bunch of clueless school dropouts dressing up like clowns, getting drunk and getting in fights.
anyone who follows the culture for the purpose of doing that isnt a punk at all
that article really sums up that most stompers are ignorant fools who post stuff about things they are frankly not even so sure or knowledgable about.

simply put, punk isn't just about the look.
it's not about the mohawk.
and it's not about whose more punk or not.
it's about sending a message to the ignorant masses through music.
oh yeah, it's also about eating lots of donuts..
=)
kidding..
see how lame i can be.. -.-

my opinion...
okay. this is just my personal opinion. cos im learning abt subcultures and all right now. to me, being a punk does not mean you have to wear boots, mohawks, studded jackets and have mohawks. my fren, a punk himself, once told me there are no boot laces for punks, there are no bibles for punk. being a punk does not mean you have to create chaos. and in singapore, the anarchy is different from those in european countries. cos basically there are not much things to anarchy against in singapore. if you do anarchy against the singapore govt, most prob u will kena lock up. music-wise, punks does not mean you have to listen to punk only. being a punk basically comes from ur heart. and as far as i know, the punk scene nowadays is nonsensical. nowadays, matreps and even gang members have infiltrated the punk scene. so there u go. just my point of view.
