Cool Punk Philosophy

so i'm getting involved in my local punk scene (Nardcore/SoCal). I've been going to shows for a few months and plan on performing sometime soon. I make guitar noise rock/ no-wave music and I'm curious to see how people will react. I have the punk mindset of "**** you im cranking my amp and playing my set and i dont care if it pisses you off", but is punk really like that these days? I'm starting to get the feeling that all punk (at least in my area) has a "pop punk philosophy" in the sense they strive for mainstream success with a very clean tone.
what do punks want to say with their music?
where is punk now?

Who cares? Do it anyways, that's real punk. With the kind of street punk philosophy your scene has, they'll probably think it's too pretentious, but there are people who like the simpler punk of RKL and the harshness of the Contortions simultaneously.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Play some bomb no wave in San Diego and I'll come see you. SD is pretty open to unique music if you can find the right venues to perform at.

Punk is 40 years old. There ain't nothing left to stick a penis in except a very decrepit corpse. She don't care. She's just happy to get ****ed.

Punk is a Horny Corpse would be a good bandname.

Standing out from the crowd isn't necessarily a bad thing. Your audience might appreciate hearing something fresh more than hearing a band that sounds basically the same as all the other bands in the area. The most important thing is whatever style you choose to play you should play it well. Both for yourself and because if you do what you do well then eventually you will find people who are into it even if you're playing something really out there.

As for the deeper question of what punks want to say with their music these days...I'm not sure it can be answered really. Punk isn't (and shouldn't be!) something monolithic. No art form should be. I don't think the genre itself can really say anything; there's just whatever individual artists have chosen to say.

Also, I second the suggestion to use "Punk is a horny corpse" as a name.

It takes extreme brilliance to offer anything "fresh"

To recycle the trash you have to be great but to be fresh...
