how punk are you?
http://www.the-n.com/games/quiz_main.php?ipv_sectionID=43&ipv_quizID=272

I got:

Certified Card-Carrying Punk



You're so punk. And see, we guessed that without having any idea of what your hair looks like or what kind of music you're personally into. For all we know, you might be a total hippie, president of the chess club, a punk, or all three. The truth is that you think for yourself and stand up for what you believe in, and that's so very punk rock. You could apply that trait to whatever you want, from fixing cars to singing opera, and you'd still be punk. In fact, please do! We'd love to see what happens.

3. We used to give each other "punk points" in high school
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 01:04 PM by Dora
Punk points could be given and taken away.

Ripped stockings: plus points if the stockings were ripped during a roll around park while drinking underage. minus points if you ripped them yourself before getting dressed for the evening.

If your car had the old green and gold AZ license plate, that was SUPER PLUS punk points.

Will look at the quiz, see what a miserable failure I am.

On EDIT: I'm punk! I'm punk!

4. Kickass! Me too!
And the funny thing is, I'm a middle-aged white guy in his mid-30s who looks drop-dead normal.

Except how many middle-aged white guys drive around in their station wagons blasting the Stooges' "Fun House" during rush hour?

10. certified
and I was like that in high school, before there was punk. So that's kind of cool. So being a nerd able to think for yourself was really being a punk? ;)

21. This 46-year-old was blasting Wire's "Pink Flag"
in his 4-door domestic mid-sized sedan yesterday.

I'll be comfortably punk 'til the day I die.

41. 38 here
and COC, Eye For An Eye blares out of my car.
However, it's on CD, and just doesn't sound right without all the pops and hisses that I remember from the 80's.

7. Beyond Punk.
All these other people will be told they're punk, but punk is just a fashion these days. You are a true individual, who realizes that music styles are merely passing fads, and that the real way to rebel against society is to create great art.

13. Fuck that quiz.
It totally telegraphs what the "punk" answers should be and thus is about as worthy a punk asessment tool as a Green Day shirt. We deserve better.

47. Style-punk hybrid

You might not look like a typical punk, but we see punk in you. Maybe you don't wave the punk flag – or, maybe you wave a different punk flag than the one we're looking at. Because let's face it, everyone has their own ideas of what punk means. In our book, the best qualities punks have is that they think for themselves, and we can tell that you know how to do that.

:D

You're so punk. And see, we guessed that without having any idea of what your hair looks like or what kind of music you're personally into. For all we know, you might be a total hippie, president of the chess club, a punk, or all three. The truth is that you think for yourself and stand up for what you believe in, and that's so very punk rock. You could apply that trait to whatever you want, from fixing cars to singing opera, and you'd still be punk. In fact, please do! We'd love to see what happens.
