It is about people selling records at shows, and making your own t-shirts, and putting out your own records, and doing your own 'zines. Punk rock is about getting pissed off when you see a bunch of old men on stage pretending to be anything other than professional musicians. It means getting in arguments with boneheads who want to turn punk rock into a football game. It means meeting new people at shows, and being excited when a new person starts coming to the shows on a regualr basis. Punk rock is about sitting on your couch arguing with your house guests about politics, and the scene, and the future of life.
Punk rock is about writing letters, and constantly criticizing people for the shit they do and say.
Punk rock is about style. Yeah, punk rock is about style. It's about realizing that there are about ten million other bands, and 'zines, and record labels, and music fans. It's about realizing that since you're no different than all the other countless faces, then you might as well do it with style. I mean, if you're going to do it, then fucking do it.
