- Aim was to NOT look pretty. Instead they wanted to shock and rebel against mainstream expectations to be their 'own', individual identity
- Punks were white people from predominantly white countries.
- Unlike the MOD's who were 'part-time' rebels - that had normal jobs during the week - Punks were rebellious 24/7, the decision in becoming a Punk is a full-time commitment.
- Punks typically have piercings and tattoos with wild and vibrant hairstyles
- They greatly valued their music, which expressed all of their rebellious values and beliefs through the music lyrics.
- Punks also rejected religion and morality and embraced Nihilism, believing that life did not have any objective meaning
- The Sex Pistols are a prime example of Punks through their music and more obviously; their band name. The mixture of sex and violence through weapons (guns) are extremely rebellious.
The Sex Pistols 'God Save the Queen'
