About This Quote
Punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying "This is who I am". Punk was originally a term for a person who refused conformity in society. When the punk movement started in the mid 70's, it was very much in opposition to what was thought to be "normal" or "acceptable". The punk movement has always been very diverse, which is part of its appeal.
It has always attracted people with different beliefs, ethics, sexual orientations, social backgrounds, etc. To this day, the word punk remains a literal definition - someone who refuses conformity by exhibiting their own unique identity. Punk is rebellious and individualistic in nature.
