I think fashion should have no place in punk. Rarely do you find that anymore though. When I go to dc to see a punk show you have kids in jean jackets with back patches next to kids with tight pants and small shirts next to kids in kahki colored shorts with polo shirtss and no one looks at another person twice because of it. Punk is an ideal that you can get together with people and listen to these dudes put everything they have into a song because they love it. Not because they're getting paid or getting a bigger fan base. You can tell when a band is playing it for themselves and not attempting to market themselves.
