first of all. fuck you, please dont call punk music "punk 
rawk" music, or i will personally beat your ass. That 
seriously agitates and pisses me off. 
Hell yeah man, i know lots of kids who claim they are 
"more punk" then anyone, and they are the ones who think 
that the more ripped up your clothes are, the less you 
bathe, the more patches and piercings you have make you 
"more punk". This is mostly the stupid, phase in phase 
out punks who haven't been into punk for very long, see a 
picture of some guy with all these patches and shit, an 
think hey, an icon, just like in mainstream culture! 
These people usually don't hang around for more than a 
year or so before they go back to there middle 
class/upper-middle class lives and start listening to the 
radio and doing al the things teenagers are "supposed" to 
do. I hate those kind of punks. They make me sick, and 
make me want to lower my head in shame. Oh well, thats 
why i just get them to have their parents give them money 
to buy CDs with that i can make tapes of. That how i get 
my _punk_ music.~Dylan
