note muna: this post is not a response to the thread starter, but my own opinion sa lahat ng tao na gusto mag pa-pangk jan.. ok?! gusto ko lang maki elaborate..

WHAT WAS....
hmmmnnn very hard question... I can only say.. I was there in the BNW and Katrina's in 83-84 as a pre-teen nerdy/skinny kid who by accident discovered Pinoy Punk... very few and TALENTED PUNK BANDS emerged and shaped the TRUE UNDERGROUND PINOY MUSIC SCENE... if not with them PUNK Bands, there will be no E-heads, No YANO/PAN/dongabay, no METAL Scene, No "Alternative" bands of the 90s..etc etc etc and so on...
if JDLC, Maria Cafra, and the elders were the BORING 70s... COLLEGE/UrbanBandits, JERKS, BETRAYED, WUDS, ETC ARE THE VOICES of the UNDERGROUND 80s..
every kid living in Manila's streets was pissed and fed-up with the SEX DRUGS RakEnRoll+very boring guitar "ad-libbers" of the 70s. The Early punks decided to TAKE THESE DRUGGIES BY THEIR ASSES AND GIVE DEM VERY HARD KICK IN THE BOLS AND adopted the no-future-no-holds-barred-do-it-yourself culture that is taking the west by storm and lunched a local version in-your-face answer to the mainstream (whatever it is) and proudly say "T***nyong lahat!!"
Back then, no bands has the GUTS to write, perform, record, produce and distribute their own music except for these PUNK BANDS... I really wonder nowadays, why these so called new rockers ay may producer na, may internet pa, may budget pa, at may murang pagawaan ng CDR...wala paring wenta...? diba..?? KUNG WALA RIN NAMANG talent...bakit pa kayo nariyan...? you're just a waste of time money and effort and musical airspace... we have no access to internet way back, but we researched and made an effort to know why there was this so called punk culture. Aralin nyo naman ang gusto nyo...
WHAT IS PINOY PUNK..?
Punk - Petty Criminal.. yes. .check your google.. kung wala kang deksyunari..
Punk - rebel; one that is not conformed to the traditional ek ek..
-translate that...well, edi local version ng mga western pangks... kaw naman oo.. magbasa ka nga..!
look around... you see a bunch of high skul kids wearing the same clothes, green spiked hair, bondage pants, boots or chucks, arm bands, chains, studs, just like another skul uniform.. pare pareho.. then you go back to my definition # 2... so where's the odd man..? wala... so no punk there definitely... just a bunch of posers...
punk to me? i could not really define it exactly.. i just know it.. that I am one... i am what you do not expect to be..
WHAT WILL BE PINOY PUNK..?
duhhh??? go out.. explore your world... look around, take a bath... visit your nearest botica at bumili ng kendi... i do not know what will be pinoy punk.. as long as there's a single human being that is being exploited, oppressed and being fed with BS, and do something to express themselves AND CHANGE his destiny, to me.. that one guy IS A PUNK. And as long as there is one... PUNKS NOT DEAD !!!
