In most good dictionarys you'll find one of the def. of 'Punk'is "useless worthless person". That is the meaning and useage in regards to the Punk movements of the 70's and 80's.Like many words it has more the one meaning depending on where you are and who you are talking to ...ask for a fag in downtown London and most likly you'll be given a cigarette ask the same in downtown. N.Y. City and any number of things might happen but none of them will involve cigarettes!

Cheers,
