You don’t have to have something to rebel against to be a punk—you just have to look like you do.
You Will Need
- Punk music
- Punk hair
- Punk clothes
- Punk accessories
- Multiple piercings
- Tattoos
- Bright makeup
Step 1: Pick a punk subculture
Pick a punk subculture. There’s strait-edge punk, glam punk, crust, Ska-punk, skinhead, skater-punk, pop-punk, goth-punk, bubblegum punk.
Step 2: Play punk music
Play punk music—loudly. There’s classic punk, like The Ramones and The Sex Pistols, and current punk, like Blink 182 or Good Charlotte.
Step 3: Wear punk clothing
Wear punk clothing: Horizontally-striped shirts, leopard print tights in candy colors, super skinny jeans, tight tees printed with names of obscure bands, and black leather.
Step 4: Accessorize
Accessorize with safety pins, lots of zippers, spiked wrist bands, bondage buckles, bullet belts, chokers, and chains.
Step 5: Wear punk shoes
Wear Converse high tops, checkered Van’s classic slip-ons, or combat boots.
Go to Google Images and punk clothing websites for ideas.
Step 6: Get a punk hairstyle
Have your hair cut into a Mohawk and dyed in different rainbow colors. Or shave your head.
Step 7: Pierce yourself
Have something on your face and body pierced. Lips and nipples are popular areas.
Female punks wear colorful makeup, and lots of it.
Step 8: Get a tattoo
Get a tattoo—preferably of a punk band, an anarchy symbol, skull and crossbones, or anything that symbolizes rebellion. Place it anywhere on your body—the more surprising the location, the better.
Step 9: Meet your peeps
Meet your peeps at punk rock concerts and look angry—or just hang out in public somewhere, looking bored.
The popular ‘70’s group The Ramones is widely considered to be the first punk rock band.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Bubblegum punk is not punk. You have to believe in the punk culture to be punk. You are a disgrace to the punk scene if you listen to this and do what they see.

LMFAO, Awesome!!!! I wonder how many lonely 12 yr old kids are watching this right now, and dreaming of the day of being bored on the side of a building. If you think this is hilarious watch How to be a goth.

BLINK 182 and GOOD CHARLOTTE are NOT PUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!
current punk would be the virus, the adicts, anti-flag, the exploited, bad religion and misfits. (yes these are all alive now and playing)
