“Punk is not dead. Punk will only die when corporations can exploit and mass produce it.”
Jello Biafra
“Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.”
Kurt Cobain
“these punks come along and deface it.”
Oscar Goodman
“A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No, that's trend!'”
Billie Joe Armstrong
“Feeling lucky punk? Oh, good.”
Joe Strummer
“punk rock is freedom”
“Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a life-style. There are a lot of bands around who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a life-style I chose for myself.”
