this issue kind of applies to those who are knowledgeable about 'scenes',well, basically, i consider myself to be a punk. i know punk isnt about what clothes you wear, or your musical taste, and that its about not caring what others think and being your own person. im pretty much like that, but i want to call myself punk. the problem is punk is about rejecting all labels. does that include punk? im confused.someone labelled me as a townie once. that made me feel sick. im not a townie/chav at all.

Punk?

Why do you need a lable? Be who you are.I love confusing people like that.

first off, whats a townie ?second off, what the hell ?Iv alwasy considered myself pun, but at the same time, an outdoorsmen, a bit country, a rocker, at one time a stoner, a bad ass and a dad.There are too many labesl that fit me in diffferent times and all the time.people that fit into only one "scene" are boring and lack imagination as well as lacking any real identity.be who you are.

good one chance...The label you want to be called for more social reasons, Africa....It is best to go life with no label, once you are labeled you can be judged by others. Life your life free of labels bud, they do no real good to be classified as 1 social group.

As wonderful as that might be, even if you don't label yourself others will label you. And even if you label yourself, say as Punk, other will label you something else.
Unfortunately that's just how things work. I hate it, for obvious reasons, but it's something you have to get used to.
Basically just know who YOU are and don't care what others THINK you are.

Okay, I do not think I was clear enough (no suprise). I meant you need not worry about labeling yourself. Others can labe you all they want but you are still you. Does that kind of make more sense?
Also people will label you regardless. SO there is nothing you can do in that sense... You can label yourself all you want, but people will label.

A lot more clear, thanks =-D

In reply to: and that its about not caring what others think and being your own person. No thats what we call "individuality". Punk deffinately is about clothes and music, though what clothes and music actualy constitute punk changes with the time (and opinion). I decided to drop "punk" as a prefix to who I was after I left school. I was bored with it and I had a hankering to wear clothes that are deffinately not punk. So now I have all sorts in my wardrobe. Its better this way, more fun, now I feel I can hang out with whomever I wish.
