I was 14 when punk appeared, so the ideal age to channel my teenage angst into energetic, loud, noisy music which wasn't sung by girls with flicky up hair, and sweet faces.
I loved punk then, and I still love it now. smile

I was in my 20s when punk rock came along. Didn't understand it and thought it was just the most awful thing I'd ever seen! There was a programme on recently with Chris Packham, a serious punk rocker, explaining what it meant to him and why it was so significant. I watched this in an attempt to understand what it was all about and thought it was interesting. He spoke about his experiences and interviewed other old punks, all now middle aged and often wealthy. Was anyone here a punk, if so what did it mean to you? Or like me did you just loathe it?
