About This Quote

Punk rock is the music of rebellion. It’s a way of life that encourages you to fight against convention and convention rules. It’s punk rock to be open, honest, and real with others. Perhaps, because it’s so counter-cultural, it’s the perfect music to express the real you, the real you that often gets lost in the shuffle.
