Punk is not a fashion nor a style, A Punk is a LifeStyle...
Kinds of Punks: (Common)
Pop Punk
(also known as punk pop and other names) is a fusion genre that combines elements of punk rock with pop music, to varying degrees. [1]
It is not clear when the term pop punk was first used, but pop-influenced punk rock had been around since the 1970s; performed by bands such as the Ramones, Buzzcocks, The Jam and The Undertones.[2][3][4][5][6][7] In the mid 1990s, California-based pop punk bands achieved worldwide commercial success, and the genre's association with Southern California has led some to call it the SoCal sound. Three examples of breakthrough pop punk records are the 1994 multi-platinum albums Dookie by Green Day and Smash by The Offspring and the 1999 multi-platinum album Enema of the State by Blink-182.[8]
From the mid-1990s onwards, some bands associated with the genre have been described in a derogatory way as faux-punk, mall punk, pseudo-punk, bubblegum punk, and surf punk.[9][10]
Christian Punk
Christian punk (or Christ punk) is a form of Christian alternative music and a subgenre of punk rock with some degree of Christian lyrical content. Much disagreement persists about the boundaries of the subgenre, and the extent that their lyrics are explicitly Christian varies among bands. For example, the seminal band The Crucified explicitly rejected the classification in their songs.[1] Christian punk bands that target a Christian audience explicitly state their beliefs and use Christian imagery in their lyrics may be considered a part of the contemporary Christian music (CCM) industry; some observers would consider this music to fall outside the scope of Christian punk.
Crust Punk
Crust punk (sometimes simply Crust) is one of the extreme evolutions of anarcho-punk and hardcore punk mixed with distorted metal guitar riffs. The style, which evolved in the early 1980s in the UK, often had songs with dark, pessimistic lyrics, often lingering on the bleak aftermath of nuclear war.
Desert Punk
Desert Punk (砂ぼうず, Sunabōzu?) is a post-apocalyptic manga series written and illustrated by Usune Masatoshi, serialized in Enterbrain's Comic Beam since 1997. The published chapters have been collected in 13 volumes.
The manga was adapted into a 24-episode anime television series produced by Gonzo and directed by Takayuki Inagaki with character designs by Takahiro Yoshimatsu and music by Kouhei Tanaka. FUNimation has licensed the series for distribution in the United States.
Hardcore Punk
Hardcore punk, now commonly known as hardcore, is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in North America in the late 1970s. The new sound was generally thicker, heavier and faster than earlier punk rock.[1] The songs are usually short, fast and loud, covering topics such as politics, personal freedom, violence, social alienation, war, and the hardcore subculture itself.[2][3][4]
Nazi Punk
A Nazi punk is a neo-Nazi who is part of the punk subculture. The term can also describe the kind of music they play.
Nazi punk music is similar to most other forms of punk rock, although it usually differs by having lyrics that express hatred for minority groups such as Jews, blacks, multiracial people, and homosexuals. Nazi punk bands have played several styles of punk music, including Oi!, streetpunk and hardcore punk. Nazi skinheads who play music similar to hardcore, Oi! or heavy metal are considered part of a separate genre called Rock Against Communism.
Anarcho Punk
Anarcho-punk is a faction of the punk subculture that consists of bands, groups and individuals promoting anarchist politics.
Although not all punks support anarchism, the ideology has played a significant role in the punk subculture, and punk has had a significant influence on the expression of contemporary anarchism. The term anarcho-punk is sometimes applied exclusively to bands that were part of the original anarcho-punk movement in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and 1980s, such as Crass, Conflict, Flux of Pink Indians, Subhumans, Poison Girls and Oi Polloi. Some use the term more broadly to refer to any punk music with anarchist lyrical content. This broader definition includes crust punk bands such as Nausea and d-beat bands such as Discharge, and may include American hardcore punk bands such as MDC, folk punk artists such as This Bike is a Pipe Bomb or artists in other sub-genres.
