Our How to.....

How to Become a Punk Rocker
The real way to become a punk rocker is to not listen to what anyone says about how to be punk. You can't pretend punk. Now that said, here are some tips.

Steps
Don't take trash from anyone, and be an individual.
Listen to some good punk music. Remember Older is better!!! By default, you can always say you liked a band's first album the best!
The age of technology is great for punk. Now you can get music from the Internet instead of from your local record store.
Don't stand out too much. That stuff is out dated and cliché. In fact, you might be mistaken for a goth.
Wear a tee-shirt that makes you stand out (preferably designed by yourself). You could wear a Clash tee-shirt, but if you buy it from Hot Topic, you're contributing to the downfall of the punk movement. Learn to screen print and make it yourself.
Try your hardest to get others involved.
Go to the thrift store and find some old dickies. Do not, DO NOT, buy them from a box store, i.e. Walmart, Kmart, or Target. You can find them at a men's uniform store a lot cheaper. Also, dickies come in four colors: tan, blue, black and gray. If you're wearing red ones, you're trying too hard. If they are too big, you're trying too hard. If it has a cell phone pocket or creases on the front, you're trying too hard.
Fight for what you think is right.
Give other punk rockers the middle finger.
Go to punk rock shows and get into the pit.
Do whatever you want, whenever you want.
