Is Punk dead? Why? Can someone who is old be Punk?

Punk is a state of mind.

Consider Iggy Pop.

For myself I never cared for punk style or music, but I don't see why any style is bound by age.

Of course, however, it is important for a lot of young people to claim that older people are not even really human.

It will make killing them off for their social security easier when the order comes down.

Heil youth.

Of course someone old can still be punk. Our generation started it. I don't know about being 45yrs old with a mohawk, but the music was born in our generation so we should still be able to go to shows and enjoy the music. I'm 35 and just went to The Warped tour (with my daughter) but I enjoyed watching The Circle Jerks who I haven't seen in years The Vandals, Bad Religion , Pennywize s*** I was getting ready to start moshing again but the wife made me stop. I just went to a Suicidal Tendencies show last friday too.

As far as the music goes, no. I think someone "old" people can be punk... in example, Jerry Only, (Gerald Cafaia) Glen Danzig, Lars Fredrickson...

++But, Greenday, Avril Lavinge, Are NOT punk, nor will they ever be. ++

i guess youre talking a bout the 70`s punk era...i would say its dead & buried

most the punks from the era have high profile jobs now, kinda defeted the object didnt it?

i think punk is slowly dying =[

im a huge punk fan/

i dont think an old person can be punk//

i understand if the like it but i mean

if theyre old and they call themselves punk

that's just gay because theyre labeling themselves/

Punk, for all intents and purposes, is dead -- or if it's not dead, it's been hijacked -- it's meaning has been changed. "Pink" and "Green Day" are passing for punk somehow. An old person can be punk, sure... but WTF is punk anymore?

No. There is a new group that considers them self punk/emo and that group is called "scene".

The Ramones would be close to 60.

Someone who is dead can be punk.

Anyone can be punk....
