In this the current dilution of what brought me through and ushered me into social concicioiusness: I still maintain punk is a music based movement that promoted unity, social awareness,and richetous anger. That is my definition but the reality is that punk is really a 70s revoultion, 80s ignition, 90s cashcow, and finally we are back to square one with bruises and lessons learned. Like Jughead's said: "Everyone is safe, punks not cool anymore" -

The funny thing is that many of the punk bands we liked in the 80's also got onto major lables and made out quite well financially.

Alternative music, mostly fast-paced, often politically motivated or mocking mainstream trends. bands limit instruments to guitars, bass and drums -- sometimes get funky with another instrument. No good punk bands make money. just kidding on the last part. but it seems that once a punk band makes money, it loses its soul (see green day http://www.sodahead.com/quest... )

Punk is the movement in the 70's that changed people's perspective on the government. It was the youth's rebellion against order and authority. And it changed music influencing other genres of music and bands.
