Dance music is meant to be danced to, pop music is meant to be enjoyed by the masses. So what is punk? It's exactly what you make it, but one thing it is above all - is fun. If it wasn't, it would be defying it's very purpose. There are bands like Bad Religion, Black Flag, and Dead Kennedys that put out songs about anxiety, police brutality and chemical warfare; and then there are bands like The Dickies that sing about bananas. Despite their messages, all of them have one definite purpose - to listen to and let go. You don't have to submit to what's "normal" if you don't want to, you have the freedom to say what you think and express yourself however you like - and that's one of the healthiest things a child can have.
