Punk Music Quotes

Ani DiFranco quote: "I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just..."
I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally. Ani DiFranco
I was always drawn to performing. I took improv and acting classes during the summers and was involved in middle and high school plays. But when I discovered indie and punk music in high school, those things sort of took over. Carrie Brownstein
Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square. Justin Sane
Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock. Kurt Cobain
Billie Joe Armstrong quote: "Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle."
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle. Billie Joe Armstrong
Mike Watt quote: "Punk is not really a style of music. It was more like a state..."
Punk is not really a style of music. It was more like a state of mind. Mike Watt
David Byrne quote: "Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style."
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style. David Byrne
Punk was originally about creating new, important, energetic music that would hopefully threaten the status quo and the stupidity of the 1970s. Jello Biafra
Travis Barker quote: "I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was..."
I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock. Travis Barker
The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political. Penelope Spheeris
My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends. Winona Ryder
Everybody gets a tag. If you listen to a Velvet Underground record, you don't think, 'Godfathers of Punk.' You just think, 'This sounds great.' The tags are there in order to help try to sell something by giving it a name that's going to stick in somebody's memory. But it doesn't describe it. So 'depressing' isn't a word I would use to describe my music. But there is some sadness in it -- there has to be, so that the happiness in it will matter. Elliott Smith
Emos don't dance much to our music. They actually hate snow patrol and Girls allowed. How could anyone hate them? I haven't got any punk or metal stuff they would like but actually, when they'd had some cider they were dancing along happily to 'Mamma Mia' with us, no probs. Even though they're Emos, they are still like human. Dawn French
I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really. Steven Morrissey
Tom Morello quote: "I was a fan of heavy music - first metal, then punk, then hip..."
I was a fan of heavy music - first metal, then punk, then hip hop. Tom Morello
