Punk Quotes

A lot of punk rock. I listen to various stuff just cuz my friends now listen to a lot of different bands. I listen to a lot of underground stuff like jungle music Picture Quote #1

Punk is the way of those who are unable to express themselves, but they aren’t dangerous; at worst, they may kill their audience Picture Quote #1

As a child there was no place for adventure or experimentation. I guess that kind of freedom started in high school with punk rock. That’s what enlightened me to not being afraid to express myself Picture Quote #1

I wanted to sound new and exciting - the punk movement was over with for me Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved punk music, since I was in my early teens, since middle school Picture Quote #1

The thread of culture that runs through the entire history of punk is also a dedication to challenging the authoritarian Picture Quote #1

To me punk rock is thinking outside of the box, outside of the program, outside the establishment Picture Quote #1

I listen to all kinds of bands. I like rock music, like, male rock bands. I’m more into that instead of female singers. I like Nirvana, Green Day, System Of A Down. I also like punk rock, and I love bands like Coldplay Picture Quote #1

Johnny Rotten isn’t punk. Maybe that’s punk to somebody, but these people are participating and challenging the corporations that are telling us what punk is and what good music is Picture Quote #1

I heard ‘Get Lucky’ it’s just not my taste. It’s great what Daft Punk does and the sound quality is great, but that whole disco vibe is not really my thing Picture Quote #1

If something is visceral and unsettling for me, my job is to not look away, not to punk out. Sometimes the dark things come from places inside me, experiences I’ve had, that need to be transformed Picture Quote #1

There’s a punk rock quality to Peter Parker, that I identified with when I read the comics [Spider-Man], and that I really liked. He has this chip on his shoulder Picture Quote #1

[Country Music] is the final destination for many punk rockers [...] Rockabilly is the mid-point and then [they] end up at Country [...] There’s purity to that music and I think that appeals to a lot of punk rock people - the precision, the purity, and the directness of Country Music Picture Quote #1

[Columbia House] magazines were how I found out about the punk world going on in New York. Because of what I read, at the age of 15, I hounded the local record store to order a copy of Horses [1975] for me by Patti Smith Picture Quote #1

By the time I was 18, I had absorbed punk rock from America, Britain, and the West Coast. All of it was so dark and weird and different and cool and hot and sexy and rebellious. It was a fist-in-the-air kind of rebellion that I wasn’t getting from the 70s mainstream Picture Quote #1

I was just a music lover who wondered what it would sound like if Otis Redding strapped on a guitar and played in a punk band. Thats it Picture Quote #1

Where I grew up, I could be a punk rocker and a jock. But in college, it became apparent that those two worlds didn’t mix. When I brought my guitar back to school after Thanksgiving break, a friend handed me his bass and said, ‘Listen to the Ramones.’ Picture Quote #1

I love Soul, R B, Electronic, and good pop. Really, the only thing I don’t listen to is country and heavy metal. I love Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Al Green, Fat Freddys Drop, Sade, Grace Jones, Bazoo Bijou, Prince, John Lennon, London Grammar, Daft Punk, Dr John, Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee, Gotye, and on it goes Picture Quote #1

Everything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression - from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it Picture Quote #1

In the early 70s, coming out of the 60s, it was very hippy or it was very uniform, like The Beatles all wearing the same suit. Into the 70s, it became much more about a personal style. You had the glam period, which was a lot of fun, and then you went into punk Picture Quote #1

I guess, for me, what started me getting real excited about music was the New York punk and new-wave scene. All those bands looked back to the Velvet Underground and the Stooges and the Modern Lovers as well. But that was back when Television were punk, and the Talking Heads were punk Picture Quote #1

I always had influences musically with punk, and then growing up, I dyed my hair every color. I did the dip-dye blue, before anybody was dip-dyeing their hair. And streaks of pinks and purples and whatnot Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, I fetishised New York City. It was the land of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, it was where Leonard Cohen wrote ‘Chelsea Hotel’, it was CBGBs and all the punk rock clubs. Artists and musicians lived there, and it was cheap and dangerous Picture Quote #1

There were a lot of people doing new and interesting things with rock. But I wanted to take it farther than that. My real influence was punk. I must have listened to the first Patti Smith album 300 times Picture Quote #1

Punk is an attitude, not a genre, age group, or time period. What’s interesting is trying to define the blues and punk in different ways. They are very close cousins Picture Quote #1

In my opinion, hip-hop has a lot to do with rock and roll, because at one point it was considered an alternative - edgy, independent. Hip-hop is pots and pans the way that punk is garage. You make something out of nothing Picture Quote #1

There are aspects of Asian culture in my work, but it’s really rooted in an American experience - transcendentalism, 60s counterculture, punk rock Picture Quote #1

I’ve played death metal, punk rock, hardcore, funk... I’ve done it all. And all there really is music and at the end of the day, anybody who has a record and puts out a record that’s basically the same song 13 times over on one record; to me they’re just cheating the fans Picture Quote #1
