Punk rock-- It's a culture of authenticity battling a culture of destruction
In plain English, punk rock is a countercultural movement built by the youth in order to push back against conformity, harmful conservative agenda, and fight for individualism
Punk rock is based around anti-establishment thinking, non-conformity, and authenticity. These are three core focuses of the movement.
For punks, it is a cardinal sin to throw your authenticity away.
