„Каждый по разному понимает, что такое «панк в душе», я веселый человек, поэтому можно сказать, что в душе я панк.“

И я ответил ему: «Нет, это — мода!».
Green Day: Keeping Their Edge‎ (2006), p. 23.
A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!'

Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
