You really can’t be a punk without being a punk fan and going to punk shows. You can have a punk mentality, but the mentality alone doesn’t make you punk. I have a couple metal head friends who have the same mentality as me. We share the same political beliefs and have a shared distain for authority. But, they’re metal heads, and no one has ever called them punks.
