How to be Punk Rock

1. Take all your good clothes and rip them up and put them back together with safety pins.

2. Listen to all music with the bass turned off.

3. Dye your hair a bright unnatural color, and complain when you cant get a good job,then live in your parents basement until society changes.

4.Talk about the narrow mindedness of society, and then go pick a fight with the Straightedge people because you disagree with their lifestyle.

5. Start a fight with the Nazi Skins at the club, then leave while the Straightedge kids clean up. Be sure to blame the Skins for starting the fight, when the cops come. Emo kids work as a good scapegoat too.

6. Claim that you live and eat out of the same dumpster, "BECAUSE THAT'S PUNK MAN!"

7. Learn big words like antidisestablishmentarianism, and use it wrong in sentences.

14. Dress Punk at all times, it doesn't matter if it's Grandma's birthday, she is just going to have to understand that you have to be who you are, and if she complains that your studded wrist band is scratching up the old oak table Grandpa had special made when they got married, call her a sellout.

16.Be sure to tenaciously
