Wear whatever looks and feels good. A punk rock girl needs her own style. Try combat boots with studded wristbands and short plaid skirts or jeans with a black leather jacket. A punk rock girl can be feminine in a baby doll or lace top or act like a tomboy in sloppy T-shirts and shorts.

Hang out with other punks. Punks get together at school, at restaurants or at one another's homes to listen to music and have fun. Fans and band members work together to promote music so get involved with musicians by posting flyers, working at a club or selling merchandise like buttons and T-shirts.

Tips & Warnings
Be open to all musical styles, not just punk.
Take action to make your town or community a better place. Fight political corruption with protests or petitions.
Don't automatically get tattoos or piercings unless they look good on you. It's a punk stereotype and not a necessity.
