punk culture is secular satanism. it represents a complete rejection of traditional norms and decency, inverting beauty standards, darkness and death. it is a rebellion against all or most of the values and ideas the hold society together. it's more insidious than just a bunch of kids with spikey hair and pierced lips. by the way those features of punk culture are part of a larger denial of their own identity, they hate who they are and attempt to consciously change themselves in ways that are unnatural and strange. they defile their skin with tattoos, puncture their ears and lips and practically whatever else they can with piercings, dye and shape the hair in unusual ways, dress in ways that in and of themselves represent a rejection of the way people have dressed for centuries. i could go on. the interesting question is who exactly (besides satan himself) created punk culture and what segment of the media popularized it
