The true meaning of punk is not caring about anyone or anything except yourself. True punks reject all the norms of society and are rather hedonistic.
Today, "punk" has been commericalized to an extreme. You're right in your observation that it's a way of dressing instead of an attitude. (No one really has the attitude, Simple Plan punk? Give me a break) If the blame lies with anyone it's the record companies, they're the ones shoving this down our throats. But I'm betting that there might be some decent bands in your area if you look hard enough.

You just aren't looking in the right places. Turn off the ClearChannel owned radio stations and look around your community. I'm sure there is some great real punk rock going on, being made by people you wouldn't expect.

I totally agree. It seems like there are a lot of wannabe punk bands now. I don't know what they're thinking. I wish I knew what happened to it.

I know what you mean... I wish I knew what happened... but I like to tell people: "PUNK ISN'T JUST A LOOK. IT'S A STATE OF MIND." It's an awsome saying, and in my opinion, it makes a lot of sense...

Real punk died with Sid Vicious.

umm no offence but i think punk is just a cliche' and people take it to the extreme saying that they want to be different so they dress punk or gothic or watever when all they are really doing is joining the clics so that is wat happend everyone tries to be wat they arent and the originals get knocked for it.
