can we get an image/illustration? --Smooth Henry 20:18, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

There are a lot of different types of punks so there is not an image for all. That would be stereotyping in a way. I will try and get pictures of all different types of punks listed. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 14:59, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good. Johnny Rotten would be a good candidate for a picture to be put into the 70s punk section. For 80s hardcore "anti-fashion" I'd pick either Henry Rollins or Ian McKaye.

i've heard red laces are considered national front? - I've heard the opposite...that red laces are considered communist...

Removed the phrase "The most blistering punk music" from the Punks against punk fashion section in favor for "Hardcore Punk," which is actually the genre those bands fall into.

Stop changing the "pop punk" section, please - Chucks, ties with t-shirts and as belts, black-and-bright-colours hair dye and the others listed are all aspects of modern pop-punk fashion. If you have a problem with the section, post it here; otherwise I will seek semi-protection. Also, I think images are certainly needed. I know images of Sid Vicious are hard to get (a pity since his exemplary expression of the "punk look" was the only reason he even got in the band), but I think Johnny Rotten would do well. Ramones for torn clothing and leather jackets and Siouxie for swastika and bondage gear would probably be good images too. Ian McKaye would do well for hardcore anti-fashion. There must be an image of someone in a spike-and-patches kutte, torn jeans, mohawk and Crass shirt somewhere we can use. Seriously. And a picture of a NOFX fan or something would do for skate punk. --Switch 14:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Jaymz Allyn: Hey, heres a great Idea, Stop trying to drop us all into a category. It's articles like this that make all the little posers out there think that they can be a punk if they listen to everything that they read. Look, straight forward here, Punk is a culture,,,not a Fasion. You can't drop everything into a category. I am not a fan of pop-punk or Emo, but I tend to ocasionally wear a tie or my Chuck Taylors. I do skateboard almost relegiously, but I don't wear dreadlocks or brand logos. Personally, this article offends me; Whatever happened to individuality?


If you think punk isn't about fashion, you're a self-righteous dick. also, the article specifically states that most punks don't follow only one dress code, and mix it up. Read before you get pissy about something. --Switch 10:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Yeah, I saw your links to GoodCharlotte. I think your whole article is crap. Why don't you add a section for me while your at it? Define this. *moons the self-righteous Bitch"


 Punk'77 era can give some idea about outfits. I ain't consider metro punk a style, though.

As the Infa Riot lyrics says : "All you boys in jeans and boots, spiky hair from the 70s roots" I still remember of those Jetta boots and slim cut jeans a'la 80s punk rock. By the way, it comes back to fashion in the USA. I see it on the streets some days. It also worth to take a look on Iggy's slim cut pants. About my clothes, I often sport a bandana on my skull or tied around my neck. I have a Charged GBH style mohawk and spike it good for the shows. Also I wear two jeans at a time with some safety pins attached to it. This double setup gives a good protection when I do the pogo dance and slide or fell.

 An old picture from the Blank'77 show, venue Albany, NY2oo5. TORN black&blue jeans, Pistols T-shirt, sport kicks and that time no mohawk yet.
