Punk Rock Clothing – Punk Rocker Typespunk rock clothing

Wearing punk rock clothing alone doesn’t make you punk. Being punk is a state of mind. Punk is being yourself and not caring what the world thinks. It is an expression of uniqueness. Fashion, in itself, doesn’t make one punk. It is the way you wear the clothes. It is a way of believing. There are many types of punk being represented in the world today. Here are some of the most common types of punk.

Punk Rock Clothing – Punk Rawker/Hot Topic Punk

In today’s world one of the most common type of punk rocker is actually called the Punk Rawker. A punk rawker is a person who does not have the punk state of mind. They primarily just dress the part. They wear faux hawks, wild hair styles/colors, and punk rock clothing, which includes ripped jeans and concert tees from Blink 182. They think they are punk, but they are really just wannabes. Another name for this kind of punk rawker is also the Hot Topic Punk. They walk into the store, throw down a bunch of cash on a crap load of poor quality, punk rock merch. They exit the store thinking that they will acquire the punk state of mind.  However, this conformation doesn’t actually take place so these fake people end up punk rock clothingbeing thrown into this punk rock category.

Punk Rock Clothing – Sk8ter Punk

Another type of punk rocker is the Sk8ter Punk. A Sk8ter punk is someone who mainly spends their time on a board. They do not have the punk ethic. These people pretend to be good skaters while dressing the Sk8ter punk route. They wear skater shoes, and clothes that are damaged. Most of them consider punk rock clothing a Green Day t shirt. These group of punkers do not care about their hair. They grow it out and comb it every few days. These Sk8ter punks think they are bad asses but they are really just lazy, unclean, hormone raging teens with a bit of angst. They spent most of their time on a skateboard or on a couch playing video games while eating Cheetos.

Punk Rock Clothing – Vegan Punk

Then there is the Vegan Punk. This group of punks love heated debates over any hint of inequality. They wear punk rock clothing with statements about cruelty to animals. They live for pumped up discussions about poverty, unethical treatment of animals, politics, and oppression. They are foundpunk rock clothing hanging out in coffee shops and/or munching on vegan burgers with snarls on their faces. Waiting for their next heated argument about some sort of inequality in today’s world is their existence.

Punk Rock Clothing – Classic Punk

Punk rock clothing will not make you a classic punk. You need to be an anarchist. True punks wear tees that make proclamations. For example: Fuck the System! A true punk has to have a tall mohawk, smoke cigarettes, wear tight pants, combat boots or Converse high tops, and vests or leather jackets. They shop in thrift stores not in Hot Topic. A classic punk’s jacket should be very heavy in weight and be worn even in the hottest weather. To be a classic punk one must truly not care what others’ think. Wearing punk rock clothing without a change in lifestyle will not make you a classic punk.
