Smells Like A Teen Spirit...!

I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

A punk concert isn't fun without a pit. -Billie Joe Armstrong 

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 

I just think that playing bass, like punk rock bass with a pick, wasn't meant to be done for 25 years. 

Kim Gordon

There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap. 

Billie Joe Armstrong 

It's very cliched to go, 'You're not punk.' We don't care if we are, and we don't care if we aren't. 

Joel Madden 

A lot of people think that punk rock musicians don't know what they're doing. 

-Travis Barker 

Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality.
