ok yeah hi i luv your username! i think green day is the best band and billie joe is the best frontman to ever walk the planet!
oh yeah about your question:
i like the converse idea, how bout pairing it up with neon pink fish net stockings? For your clothes, how bout a black leather skirt mini with a black green day belt (available at claires)? Oh and of course... how bout a shredded black shirt with a pink tie and pink tips on your hair!!! If that doesnt sound punk rock enough then I dunno what does? GO GREEN DAY!!!!

Find someone to beat up your chucks. Punk is about being worn down and not fresh out of the box.

Try ripped fishnets with shorts or boyleg shorts (not quit pants, not quite shorts, too loose to be called capris). Get a bunch of buttons of punk bands you know and a jacket. Shorten or rip off the sleeves. Place as many buttons as you can on the back of it to the point where you can't really see the color on the back of the jacket because they're are just that many buttons. If you have the time you should try to make the jacket look really worn out. You could abuse it and beat it a couple times. Drag it through the ground and wash it a couple times. The point is to make it look like your trusty jacket that you've had since way back when and every band you have ever discovered in your punk life is on it.

For a shirt, any shirt will do. You could even get away with wearing a beat up Britney Spears T-shirt as a joke. Living in SoCal I've seen a lot of crazy styles that actually work so don't be afraid to experiment.

Now its Makeup time. You want to go for the I-just-woke-up-from-a-killer-party look. Get a big cubby black eyeliner stick and some dark softly metallic eye shadow. Place the eye shadow on your lids how you would regularly apply. Then take the eyeliner and line your eyes in a not-so-precise way. Don’t go too heavy on the liner. You don't want it to be perfect. Now smudge smudge smudge until you get the effect that you like/ looks best on you. Do your Mascara however you want, but dramatic works best.

As for the hair... Most Mohawks are now overrated unless they have an angle to them. Instead of shaving your hair into a thin streak, I suggest just to dye/spray exactly half of your hair one color and the other half a contrasting color and to STAY AWAY from pink. You can use any other color but pink. I suggest a nice 80s green. Punk can be pretty but it ain't about being cute.

If you do want to be cute, I suggest you strongly look into the psychobilly or spooky style. You might like what you see as its more girly friendly and not so rough.

If you are going for one of those "new punk/rich punk" styles, I suggest just buying a lot of clothes from Travis Barker's label and getting some henna tats and fake piercing and wearing a baseball cap with his logo. Its expensive, but you could have your outfit in one shopping sprees. Also, some people may not get what you're trying to be. Any little weirdo could dress up in all black and be labeled a freak, goth, rocker, punk, electro kid, etc. The labels are endless, so if you want people to get your message for Halloween, you have to amplify what that culture does. You could even go real old school, get small light boom box and plenty of batteries and walk around playing Bad Religon.

It depends how old school you want to go. Lets say very old school. Go to a thrift store. Get a jean jacket on cut off the sleeves or get a jean vest, if you can also get a leather jacket (but they can cost alot of money) see if you can get an Ramones or Sex Pistols T-shirt, in a pinch even a Rancid t-shirt will work. Color your hair blue or black or something and spike it up high. Ripped up really tight jeans, black is better. Now take all the clothes and rip them up, using sandpaper works really well. Add pins, studs and using a marker, write swear words and things like "Bollocks" and "anarchist" on the jacket and the jeans. Combat boots are better than sneakers, hardcore punks dont wear converse hunny. You can make it real old school punk by tossing the clothes in the tub and pour a LITTLE bleach on them and let it sit for a bit before rinsing. Get some studded belts and collars and bracelets and you are all set. Remember to wear heavy dark make up and sneer and snarl at everyone.

Dont listen to Tones,

One of my friends went as a punk rocker 2 years ago for halloween. She wore an orange spikey wig, (which looked awesome!) and she had a black spikey choker. (Thats all i remember about her) but what you could do is wear like a t-shirt with a checkered tie, (you can get a tie at Spencers) and wear black capris, and your Converse shoes will work great. Dont forget to wear alot of eyeliner, and your halloween costume will look great!!!

Goodluck!

Since you are a girl, you need black boots, black pants, black tank top, necklace with spikes, cuffs with spikes for both wrists, you can make your hair stand up in a mohawk (if you have long hair you need to work on it a bit) with a sugar water solution. You should have your nails painted deep purple, red, or black. Make sure your eyes are dark and your lips are dark. Smokin'...

Get you a studded belt, a Cocksparrer t-shirt (shred it and put lots of safety pins in it), some fishnet stockings, studded bracelets and a mini and you are good to go!
