Is that it?

he is not wearing socks, so that is punk right? and he is wearing a Sabbath T from an album he probably has not ever heard. That is not punk at all.
Hard to tell.

Your attitude is very judgmental on looks alone. That's not punk to me.

btw, i don't care if that guy is.

Punk or not?

you show an image, and expect it to be judged on more than looks? Life doesn't work that way.

Sadly, for many, Punk is indeed a superficial judgmental focus on looks. If you do not look like the idiots from Rancid you ain't punk, right? ha!

what about this combination then?

bunch o punk-asses

The answer to that question, at least in all the scenes I've been a part of, is simply put, does he go to shows? Which bands? That is punk or not. Do you go to shows? Are you part of any community? Do you know any punx outside of magazines and stereotypes?

I agree with you by the way, its not about looks, but its definitely about mutual experience and culture.

John Lydon doesn't owe or need to prove anything to any of you cunts. As Ian MacEye so aptly put it "What the fuck have you done?"

Kilslug were excellent in Tompkins SQ Park last Saturday, first saw them 30 years ago, the band still does it right.

How fitting! For me, seeing a Sonic Youth t-shirt at topshop a while ago was just sigh inducing.

Oh another one not mentioned on the buzzfeed is David Beckham wearing a Crass tshirt. Bloody idiot.

ARE DEATH GRIPS THE ONLY PUNK BAND WE HAVE LEFT?

Ok, this might serve as a counter-argument to my point and quasi-support yours.
