Punk Music
Punk is not only a style of music but a way of culture. It influences the way people dress and present themselves. Punk is looked down upon because of drugs and the way they dress, because it's different from the normal of society. In my opinion, I think punk is misunderstood. I think punk lyrics have unique meaning behind it and shows a good expression of emotions which all punk bands show, such as my favorites Good Charlotte, Green Day, and Cute is What We Aim For. Punk music gets a bad rep. I wonder if punk music will ever be fully accepted in society and become popular again?

Joe you raise a good questions here-especially about punk every being accepted again. I think we would have to take a historical look into U.S. cultural history and decide whether or not we feel it ever was accepted. We will never be able to concretely answer this question-since we cannot go back in time and ask everyone if they accepted punk! But...to speculate in an academically sound manner, we can look at album reviews/articles/anti-punk behavior and literature produced in response to this musical genre/subculture, and go from there. This is a good question to speculate on-how would would you go about answering it?
