Nah it wasn't a cheap shot I was just right.
In my opinion musically punk can be characterized by shorter song length, yelled vocals, and a fast tempo with lyrics that are pretty frank, we all know that much.
The punk subculture associated with punk rock is aesthetically defined with tattered jeans and clothes that aren't really socially accepted. Some punks will just go out in plain t shirts and jeans though.
I'm not going to get into punk ideologies since they differ so much from band to band.
When it comes down to it, you can play punk music and not be a stereotypical punk. You are relying to much on upholding the punk stereotype.
And Leftover Crack and Choking Victim esque bands are in no way an ultra minority nowadays.
