NO! Don't make me choose but seriously i guess i have to go with metal i have been a avid metal listener for about 7 years now and have spent a lot of time immersed into it where as i have only been listening to a lot of Punk for about a year now but i love both i guess i am just partial to metal particularly the more extreme genres of metal such as Black metal and Grindcore MQ1: My favorites are subject to change but as of now Discharge The Damned Rudimentary Peni The Pogues The 4 Skins MQ2: Impetigo Acid Witch Boris Summoning Sun of the Blind

my deffinition only...
a punk has zero respect for anyone or themselves, & goes out of there way to be noticed by any & all bad behavior, dress, & social nonskills..
they also range in any age group, but you can spot one from a mile away...

a stereotype people like to label others
you either wear metal/black clothing, dye your hair an unnatural color, listen to hard rock/metal music, or a die-hard rebel
