Punk is a lifestyle, type of music, and in some cases, a type of fashion. But it's more about music and lifestyle. Punk music was pretty much visibly started in NYC in the 1970's by The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and the Ramones. It caught on to London, with the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, etc. The lifestyle is often careless, happy, you do whatever you want. These people do not care. If they just wanna punch some random person on the street, they'll do it. Drugs played a big part in punk in the past. Violence is a huge part. Punk pretty much died out when the Ramones broke up for good in the mid 90s. Now the only punk things are the old punk bands. And the few people that still live the lifestyle. It doesn't matter how you dress, much.
