A fork of Rural Dictionary
A genre of rock that is more about the message than the music. Punk songs are usually, but not always, made up of 3 chords. If you're not sure if a song is punk, listen to the lyrics. If they are not about standing up for something the artist believes in (ie: anti-censorship, anti-war, anti-racism, etc.) then it is NOT a punk song. Punk is about standing up and fighting for something you believe in. It has nothing to do with the image or the artist, or even how the melody of the song sounds.

Maria-Rage Against the Machine Blood-Red White and Blue-Rise Against To The World-Strike Anywhere American Jesus-Bad Religion For those of you who still think punk rock is dead after reading our definition, to you we say, you're not punk rock because if you were you would realize there is still punk rock, you're confusing a lot of music that would fall under an entirely different category than "punk rock" but is still delivering the same message but has been completly raped and mutilated by the media and by society.
