"Rock 'n' roll is supposed to be fun. You're supposed to enjoy it. It's not supposed to be about taking a million fucking years to learn a million fucking chords on the guitar." - Johnny Rotten, 1977

"When your culture abandons you, create your own." Ira Robbins on punk rock, Trouser Press magazine, 1977

'Punk ain't a fashion, it's pure music, its pure attitude and its more importantly a frame of mind! Vivienne Westwood can go fuck herself with a broken dildo!' D Barrat, lead singer with scottish band 'Novacaine For the Hole'

'Ha! Still alive you fat bastard!' Stewie Griffin after going back in time and stopping Kurt Cobain kill himself using Hagen Daas ice cream. Check it if you don't believe! Genius! Cannae get more punk than that!

Here's an obvious, but genuine, one ... Words of my own mind:

"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

"You won't see me working 9-to-5/Too much fun being alive.'  (from Problems)

"[Music] shouldn't be about some cunt on a stage yapping about how terrible it is to be on the dole. 'Cause when I was on the dole it was not terrible. I was being paid for not working."  -John Lydon

"If you go and see a rock group, you want to see someone tearing their soul apart at thirty-six bars a second, not listen to some instrumental slush. Since '67, music has been chasing itself up a blind alley with all that shit."  -Joe Strummer

That Ira Robbins quote is pure gold. Hundreds of tribes running in the streets...

They were the nastiest, funniest, darkest, moodiest, weirdest, most glowering bunch of outsider pop stars ever. The most off-the-wall bnad in the whole punk rock canon- a brutal slab of angry, snarling punk psychedelia served up as three-minute slices of pure pop magic. This surly attitude was combined with killer tunes; their bad attitude and dark charisma was a neat extra. They talked and sang about aliens, karate, motorbikes, Yukio Mishima, Leon Trotsky, heroin, Nostradamus, rats, ravens, and alienation... This was no average band.

-Author John Robb, on the Stranglers (from Punk Rock, An Oral History)

-Author John Robb, on the Stranglers (from Punk Rock, An Oral History)

"One of the things that made punk very valid was, when you consider the Saints were doing the same thing in Australia at the same time and the Ramones in New York, it was obvious that people wanted to do it all over the world. The Saints were totally removed from anything going on anywhere else. They couldn't get Sounds or NME in Australia. The synchronicity was amazing."  - Rat Scabies, from Punk Rock: An Oral History

"This Punk thing sets people on fire."  -Charlie Harper

"Also the good thing about that time in Amsterdam was that there was a lot of squats and you could do stuff right away- you didn't have to find practice rooms or venues, you could do it all in the squats. We were always involved in the squat scene. You can hardly imagine it now, thousands of squats in Amsterdam. It was so normal at the time.

England was a bit narrow-minded. The squats in Amsterdam were setting up bicycle-repair shops, restaurants, venues, bars, even radio stations. It was optimistic in a way that is amazing to look back on now. A new squat would open and everyone would help set it up, building the stage if it had a venue- all this practical stuff- as well as playing benefits.

That's what you did as a band: you cooked, you built, you made a noise and played benefits with bands like BGK and the Nitwits."  -Terrie, from Punk Rock: An Oral History

"We have found out... that we cannot trust some people who are nonconformists. We will make conformists out of them in a hurry... The organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization."

-Ray Kroc, McDonalds founder (think about that next time you're at McD's.)

Well said!

[laughs] I don't mean this in any bad sense, but I always found the Ramones very cartoon-like. When I first heard them, they were like the Archies, an American comic-book kind of band. The Ramones in fact go back to the Shirelles and the Ronettes and that Phil Spector kind of music. For me punk was the wrong kind of tag for the Ramones. I always had a lot of time for them- invigorating pop music.
