Looking like a punk rocker...

June 8th 2008 02:02
So, following on from yesterdays post I thought ok. Let see how one can look like a punk.

So, looking at the list (see previous post) and other peoples "views" on how to be a punk, here is my guide to looking like a punk.
(please note that this is by no means a way that I feel about punks. You could be dressed in a ball frigging gown for all I care! - this is going off how people view "punks" and what we are presented with by the media, stars etc)


1. Wear a t-shirt that makes you stand out....Ok. lets look at this one. There are a number of shops that sell "punk" tees. It says one thing you can do how ever is make your own tops by printing a copy of say The Clash, put the image on the t-shirt. Here are a few examples:



2. Spike and/or color your hair. The classic punk look of course is the mo-hawk. But there are so many to choose from. Here are a selection of 'hawks' to pick from, any are acceptable.



3. Make up. Back in the 70's make up was all the range. It seems to be mainly the women but basically its the really made up eyes, like over the top and really red lippy.


4. Studs are important, a good row leather belt is essential. Hmmmm.... belts are good to hold your pants up. There are only so many studded belts you can picture here so I'll just put one picture here....


5. If someone gives you sh*t or calls you a poser, give them the evil stare. Ok. I just think this one is so funny, it is defo how a punk should act.. haha.


6. Get a tattoo. So this is a pre-requisite for being a punk. You have to get a tattoo. Interesting. Lol. I've just realised how angry doing this is making me.... how stupid some people are putting these regulations on how to be a punk grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!


7. Start your own band. It's the only way you can be truly punk. HAHAHAHAHA!


8. Listen to punk rock. Seriously. Listen to what ever you want. Its what moves you. BUT if you go by the list, listen to The Clash, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, UK Subs, Decendants and the like... old school.




Ok, so that is just a sample of the things you must do to be a punk rocker - if reading the internet is anything you want to go by.

My personal opinion? Just be your self. Don't worry about what other people think, as long as your happy and living your life who really gives a f**k what other people think!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine who has recently started getting into punk music.. well Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy. She asked me what she needed to do to do to become a punk.

I just stared at her. I could not believe she was asking me how to be something that in essence requires no rules. You be who and what you want. I told her this. She looked at me blankly and then said 'yeah but what do I wear? what else should I listen to

OK. So by now you may have realized my slight obsession with The Distillers and the bands singer Brody Dalle (or Armstrong as she was known as).
