well, to begin with.. the word "Punk" came from a magazine. those who are labeled Punk Rockers nowadays or even after the word evolved were just ordinary bands doing their own things, playing their original songs, giving out a look, streaming their attitude, spiked hair was caused by perspiration, ripped clothing with safety pins were there to hold the clothes itself, three cord progression was the easiest way back when to create music and to get into a bar to play originals... and so on.. now, if it's a lifestyle, he'd be in the streets sleeping on slums or even get jailed, that's a Punk.. an attitude that asks "whatta you got? huh?"..
Punk Magazine was started by people who goes to CBGB and listen to bands like the Ramones, Blonde, Velvet Underground, Television, the New York Dolls etc.. which happens to be the Artists na laman din nun magasin. now as people are becoming fans and also who are buying the print, the regular artists' ROCK in CBGB are being labeled as "PUNK", thus, Punk Rock. at first the Ramones was not ok with the idea of them as Punk Rock, as well as the other bands..

PUNK magazine was a fanzine created by cartoonist John Holmstrom, publisher Ged Dunn and "resident punk" Legs McNeil in 1975, and was the first publication in the world to popularize the CBGB scene. Also, its use of "punk rock," coined by writers for Creem magazine a few years earlier, led to the term's worldwide acceptance as the definition for the new bands that were producing a new sound based on the music of The Stooges, the New York Dolls, the MC5, and the Ramones.
Punk published a total of 15 issues between 1976 and 1979, as well as a special issue in 1981 (The D.O.A. Filmbook), and several more issues in the new millennium.
Covers featured such artists as Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Patti Smith and Blondie. Punk magazine was home to many future talents, many of whom were published for the first time in its pages, such as Mary Harron, Roberta Bayley, David Godlis, Robert Romagnoli, Steve Taylor, Lester Bangs, Bob Gruen, Pam Brown, Buz Vaultz, Anya Phillips, and Screaming Mad George. Punk was an early breeding ground for female writers, artists and photographers, who had been shut out of the mostly-male underground publishing scene of the 1960s.
The magazine staff went through many changes during those years, as a result Ged Dunn left in early 1977 and McNeil quit shortly afterwards. Additions to the staff include Bruce Carleton (art director from 1977-1979), Ken Weiner (frequent contributor from 1977-1979), and Elin Wilder, one of the few African Americans to enjoy a role in the early CBGB/punk rock scene.
Punk was a vehicle for discussing and examining the underground music scene in New York, primarily what would be called punk rock. The music was exemplified by bands and performers like The Ramones and The Dictators. The music was played in clubs like CBGB, Zeppz, and Max's Kansas City. It mixed Mad Magazine-style cartooning by the likes of Holstrom and a young Peter Bagge with the more straightforward pop journalism of the kind found in Creem.
In 2001 Punk was re-launched, but the events on 9/11 set back the plans for a relaunch. In 2006 the magazine was revived, and current issues are still being published.

The pop punk style emerged at the onset of punk rock around 1974, with the Ramones; however, it was not considered a separate subgenre until later. The Ramones' loud and fast melodic minimalism differentiated them from other bands in New York City's budding art rock scene. Protopunk and power pop bands had also helped lay the groundwork for the pop punk sound. An early use of the term pop punk appeared in a 1977 New York Times article, Cabaret: Tom Petty's Pop Punk Rock Evokes Sounds of 60's. By 1977, punk rock had already become a much more active and concentrated movement in the United Kingdom than in New York City. Buzzcocks, Generation X, 999, The Jam, The Rezillos, The Lurkers, The Undertones, and The Shapes featured catchy melodies and lyrics that sometimes dealt with relatively light themes such as teenage romance. Many mod revival bands also displayed pop punk leanings.
By 1981, hardcore punk had emerged in the United States, with louder, faster music than punk bands. Vocal harmony, melodic instrumentation and 4/4 drumming were replaced with shouting, discordant instrumentation, and experimental rhythms. A few bands, such as Descendents and The Vandals, began to combine hardcore with pop music to create a new, faster pop punk sound, sometimes referred to as popcore (or skatecore). Their positive yet sarcastic approach began to separate them from the more serious hardcore scene. The term pop punk was used in the 1980s, in publications such as Maximum RocknRoll, to describe bands similar to Social Distortion, Agent Orange, and TSOL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_punktrue with that idea the old-school punk rockers will butcher pop-punkers kasi hindi hindi naman pure 'old-school punk' and pop punk.. when i was in highschool noon 1985, i saw the real-punk-rock-old-school-oi- punkers, and mabigat men.. mabigat..
i believe that as time goes, generations pass, all genres evolve, transform into something up-to-date-with-generation. and doing music and labeling ourselves as Pop Punk is a choice, and we think if we intend to go Pure Old School Oi Punk, i'd do the genre and call ourselves as purists or Punk talaga diba..
i was born in 1970. kinda 'tanders' to do pop punk, mas lalo na Harcore.. but as the 'pop-punk' genre goes, it's fun, exciting and masarap tugtugin..
kaya di ako nag pure Punk/Harcore Punk kasi, mahirap na eh.. hindi naman ako astig, i just love the 3 to 4 chord riffs, the skinny jeans, narrow necktie and sneakers. minsan naman as modern as the time is.. thrasher look..
my brothers, this is the Punk Guitar thread. welcome lahat nang forms of 'evolved' punk rock.. roots naman nito lahat is what was called "PUNK ROCK".
watch 'Punk Attitude Documentary', i hope that helps with tracing back one of our roots..
