I’m bumping this thread. > [@What defines Punk Rock for you?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-defines-punk-rock-for-you/666396/80): > > It’s not arbitrary if it’s “originalism.” > > I don’t know where you said what punk is but I bet it’s just as vague as this is, citing “somewhere else” > > I never made any proscriptive statement for players. Punk just doesn’t sound practiced to me. Rock has become practiced. Why don’t you just admit you’re rock? Things are not going to be punk to someone else because you need or want them to be. > > It isn’t punk to define it and argue on to some kind of thread victory. > > That’s “rock.” You need to get comfortable with that. Everything you do and say sounds like rock to me. > > Punks DNA is snotty, rude, satirical, outsider/underground/gay, and learning how to play. If it changed to something else and kept the name why is that interesting? > > I told you why I think it means something. Why does it mean what you think it does? This is the stupidest post I’ve read in a long time. He’s trying to convince me I’m playing rock, without having heard my music! He’s of course trying to deny himself having defined punk in any way before, calling defining things unpunk, while defining what punk is again. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drad-dog-fuck-you-you-smug-douchebag-troll/798965)._
