Return to article: How to Create a Punk Rocker Costume
on 11/22/2005 To be punk rock is not simply putting on a costume. It is a way of thinking and, for some, a way of life. ...
on 4/16/2007 You can't pretend to be punk rock. It's not done. Pretend and you're a poser. How'd all you preppies like it if I dressed up all cute in a little cheerleader skirt and bopped around all ditzy? It's not a costume; it's how people are. Don't disrespect it.
on 4/16/2007 I'm a real punk. And it hurts me if people dress punk for Halloween. For me, that's how I dress every day of my life. It's not a Halloween costume.
on 4/16/2007 I am a real punk and I think it's absurd that anyone would "dress up" as a punk for Halloween. How would you feel if I walked down your street dressed as a yuppie? I surely hope no one did this for Halloween.
on 11/22/2005 Remember, always replace that trendy earring and/or nose ring with a nice safety pin. It looks more gaudy and raw than those shiny gold things you're probably already wearing.
on 11/22/2005 Wear tight leather and a chain around your hip. Take your hair and make it messy. Also chew gum and carry a fake guitar around your neck. Act mean.
on 11/22/2005 If you want to be a "real" punk rocker, don't use spray hair color. Instead, dye it for real. Dress in all black, get a black jacket and put lots of patches of all your favorite rock bands on it. Anarchism is the best way to go.
on 11/22/2005 If you don't want to go the anarchy route, take a cotton swab with bleach on it and write "punk is NOT dead!!!" Another thing you might want to go for is a British accent.
on 11/22/2005 Always spell rock "rawk," say "piss off" and mutter profanities a lot, and look disgusted at everytyhing. Hate everything. Break things. Buy an "A Thousand Times No" CD. It'll explain everything.
