I mean, I don't really consider myself a punk but I do uphold the modernized values. I don't have a mohawk or chains or anything. I don't care. I don't care if you care. I love the music, I love the community, and that's all that matters.

I mainly started this to see how others view the music. Haha, doesn't seem to positive so far, but that's your guys opinion. I respect that.
I love a lot of punk. I just don't care for a lot of the chaff that comes along with the music. Sub-cultures in general, musical or otherwise, are generally best left behind once you've developed the ability to think for yourself (i.e. sometime in your late teens/early twenties at the latest).
