Punk Quotes

I’m not allowed to wear my street clothes on TV because Vince McMahon says I don’t look like CM Punk when I’m not in my gear Picture Quote #1

I’m jumping in right now. And I’m going to say that everybody I know has a ‘day I met CM Punk story’ and they’re all 100% fabrication. It’s all bullshit. Thank you Picture Quote #1

High school and college were my punk, formative years. I was playing hardcore, learning to be a musician. In bands, you tour, but you’re paid nothing; you’re playing to 50 people in a basement, sleeping in a van, and you love it Picture Quote #1

I hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It’s my white hair, and I put color there. My grandson says I’m punk Picture Quote #1

I would say there’s a lot of similarity between folk and punk. It’s written for the common man Picture Quote #1

Folk-punk artists like This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb or Paul Baribeau were popular in the Florida punk community. I saw people early on combine roots music with more aggressive music Picture Quote #1

When I began to cover songs for YouTube, they all tended to be in the super pop-genre.. as in, smash-hit songs. My writing process was heavily influenced by this - I went from a more heavy punk rock style to straight up sugary-sweet pop Picture Quote #1

I’ve never heard Daft Punk; I’ve never heard a track of theirs in my life. They’re the two guys with motorcycle helmets on? Picture Quote #1

The boys in the office preferred Daft Punk and the song Robot Rock as an anthem, speaking excitedly and without irony about wanting to become robots one day. That made me wonder: Why? What’s the pull of being a robot? Picture Quote #1

When I want something, I want it now, and Daft Punk taught me to be more patient Picture Quote #1

Daft Punk wouldn’t have normally fit into anything that was pop on the radio, but they just did it Picture Quote #1

Some people started to call me the King of No because with Daft Punk we were saying no to everything Picture Quote #1

The bands you like and know that are French are always outsiders in the French music industry - Daft Punk, Air Picture Quote #1

Many people think if you say no you just do this to negotiate a better deal, and they didn’t understand that Daft Punk really meant no because they didn’t want to do certain things Picture Quote #1

I do love dance music. I love Daft Punk. I mean, I was a child in the 80s, so bands like the Eurythmics and just so many great 80s bands were dance bands, but they had the whole soul thing happening, too Picture Quote #1

Unless you use the vocoder the way Daft Punk use it, it is very limited. When they sing it’s almost human. It sounds sexy. I just used it as an effect. It wasn’t because I was not able to sing; I’m not a great singer, but I had some hits as a singer, too. It’s a nice effect Picture Quote #1

Work It Harder Make It BetterDo It Faster, Makes Us strongerMore Than Ever Hour AfterOur Work Is Never Over-Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, lyrics and music by Daft Punk Picture Quote #1

All of the punk-rock bands of the era would come in and play, and my job on Punk Rock Night was that I would go into the slam pit, and... I was 24 or 25, and I’d slam dance in the pit Picture Quote #1

When you’re thirteen and listening to punk, the aggressive nature of music can sway you to the dark side Picture Quote #1

I think I began getting really influenced by that whole punk scene around the age of 13 or 14-I went through that whole thing like the shaved head. I was always interested in what people called the darker side, whatever that was, and the kind of look that you would see in the old horror films. So I let that become more of my persona Picture Quote #1

Well my gun fires seven different shades of shit, so what’s your favorite color, punk? Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to go back and relive the glory days; I just want to keep moving forward. That’s what I took from punk. Keep going. Don’t look back Picture Quote #1

I listen to tons of hard rock and metal, like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, etc., but I also listen to Beethoven and Mozart, to Discharge and the Bad Brains, and to Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington. So I think there’s merit to both the melodic punk and to the hardcore stuff too Picture Quote #1

I think English punk died in 79 or 80. Maybe 82 at the latest. As far as American punk goes, it wasn’t the same as English punk. It wasn’t a working-class movement that was protesting the conditions under which this class had to work. I don’t think American punk ever died Picture Quote #1

People always said that I hated punk, and that really wasn’t true. It was glossed over for many years that I was the guy who found the Tubes and signed them to A Picture Quote #1

I was about 16 when punk started to happen. It was so exciting. You had a social depression going on in the U.K. There was a sanitation strike. London was really grim, gray. You had Margaret Thatcher coming in. It was a really revolutionary time Picture Quote #1

Science is very vibrant. There are always new observations to be found. And it’s all in the interest in challenging the authority that came before you. That’s consistent with the punk rock ethos that suggests that you should not take what people say at face value Picture Quote #1

In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework Picture Quote #1

I made the big turnaround in the early Nineties when I started hearing all the tenth generation punk bands like Green Day and Offspring and all those people. It just made me fall in love with punk again and remember my roots, and since that time I’ve always wanted to do more of that kind of music again Picture Quote #1

I listened to a lot of The Stooges when I was writing Oscillate, imagining our hero moving through his days naturally embodying the spirit of a real punk. I say real, because today’s idea of ‘punk as fashion accessory’ doesn’t even register with him, it’s more about the way he engages with the world Picture Quote #1
