Billie Joe Armstrong Pun Quotations

A guy walks up to me and asks, "What's Punk?". So I kick over a garbage can and say. "That's punk!". So he kicks over the garbage can and says, "That's Punk?", and I say, "No that's trendy!

Punk is dead to anyone who didn't get it in the first place

Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.

A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.

The thing about punk is that there are purists. Once you start going outside of that, they don't think what you're doing is punk rock.

Punk will never be dead to me. It's my life. I can never just drop this lifestyle. It embodies me.

A man once asked me, what's punk? I kicked over a trash can and said that's punk. He kicked over a trash can and then asked me again, Is that punk? I replied no. That's just trendy.
