True punk energy is found in rebelling agaisnt certain social norms and morally ambiguous standards to make things better for everyone as well as going "that person is shitty to their fellow humans. Lets light their shoes on fire" You can look like death metal personified, but without actual compassion, you aren't really part of the whole "alternative movement". There is no one way to dress, express yourself, or live your life, but there is one universal fact. Without kindness, both sides of an interaction end up miserable whether you're the prick or the one being mistreated. Be aware of the impact you have on lives, and if you have a heart and use it often, you're honestly doing well and punk rock as all hell.
