Find free events through friends, the websites of venues you like or using local event forums. Get crafty. For each item you craft, you haven't supported a store that sells a similar manufactured version. Visit the mall or a big-box store only when necessity demands it.

A lot of punk clothing has a DIY look to it. For a punk, it's always better to remake something old than support consumerism and buy something new. Start out with some punk staples. If you're at a loss on how to build a punk wardrobe, here are some items to consider: Skinny jeans or cargo jeans Black leather jackets or denim vests Studded or spiked clothing and bracelets Safety pins Pin-on buttons side note: use tape if you put them on backpacks, or they may fall off Mostly black clothes Tartan, camouflage, animal print and blood stains.

Ripped clothing held together with safety pins Band T-shirts Punk band patches Black shirts Spiky hair, Mohawks or dyed hair Leather or pleather jackets with band patches, safety pins, or painted-on details such as an anarchy symbol. Bondage pants, or pants with added embellishments such as zippers going up the back of the legs, chains, metal rings, or other add-ons. Bullet belts Fishnets Classic accessories can include arm warmers, studded belts, bullet belts, and wristbands with pyramid studs, stars or spikes.

Customize some of the shirts or jackets you buy. This is similar to remaking, but with an eye for little touches that express your unique viewpoints.

Maybe by cutting off the sleeves, sewing political patches on, or just cutting the neckline, or back differently — these are all things that the traditional person wouldn't dare try - especially not for aesthetic effect. Rip or cut out a section of clothing, and replace it with a row of safety pins holding the fabric together, or expose your layers. Stencil band names or symbols onto your clothes yourself. Sew some patches on your jacket. Distress your own denim. Use scissors or an x-acto knife to make cuts, or run sandpaper over the fabric to make it look worn out.

Strategically drip bleach onto jeans or T-shirts to make interesting patterns, or make them look more worn-in. Find punk footwear. Consider that you may be walking more given your punk lifestyle, since its pretty common that punks ditch private transport whenever possible. You need a sturdy, long lasting pair of shoes, or two, but you need to obtain them in an a-traditional way.

Boots - for men and women. Boots are often dark and are usually the best choice: they last a long time, you can find them on the cheap and the aesthetic works with the rest of your clothes. Stay away from shoe brands. Because commercialism and materialism are frowned upon by punks, a lot of them choose to buy boots from the army surplus store.

Common punk shoes include black boots, Dr. Martens, Converse and some skate shoes like Draven and T. Note that because these are owned by corporations, some punks refuse to buy from them despite the aesthetic and you may run into people who disagree with your shoe choice. Thrift stores are a good place to buy cheap shoes and boots, and then you don't have to think about whether your money is going to a multinational corporation.

This Movement caused the creation for most genres of music today, it's even represented in the roots of such types as hip hop, rap, pop, modern rock, goth, electro, two-tone. It did not create these genres, but it certainly kicked down the door for them. B Culture started in the 70's by the same music movement.

The point of the culture was like the music, be yourself and disregard the angry emotions it may stir up.
