In Australia, a "punk" is like a human exclamation point—bold, brash, and impossible to ignore. If someone’s got spiky hair dyed in a color that defies the spectrum, wears combat boots to the beach, and listens to music that sounds like someone is strangling a guitar, they might be a punk. Punk culture is all about sticking it to the man while wearing a shirt covered in safety pins, because who needs fabric when you've got attitude?
Punks are the rebels of fashion and lifestyle, turning the mainstream upside down and giving it a good shake. They're not content with just being loud; they make sure the volume is cranked to 11 at all times. A punk might wear a leather jacket with more patches than a well-loved quilt, and if there's a mosh pit, you can bet they'll be diving headfirst into it.
Despite their tough exterior, punks are often the sweetest people you'll meet—under all those tattoos and piercings, there's a heart of gold. Just don't ask them to conform to anything; they've got their own rules, and they're not afraid to break them.
