Step 1Turn an old t-shirt into a punk rock shirt with paint. Lay the shirt on a flat surface, pinch the middle and twist it into a spiral shape. Spray the entire shirt with dark spray paint and let it dry completely while it's still twisted. Twist a new spiral in a different part of the shirt, and spray it with another dark color, repeating two or three times.

Step 2Buy an old pair of dark pants from a thrift shop and peg them to make skinny punk pants. Put the pants on inside out, gather the loose material on the inside of the legs and pin the fabric with safety pins. Stitch along the safety pins with a sewing machine or by hand, or just wear the pants with the safety pins left in place. Glue on a few inexpensive zippers with fabric glue.

Step 3Convert an old black, denim or plaid skirt into a punk mini-skirt. Simply hem the skirt to the desired length and sew or hot glue some buckles at the waistline. Attach some random zippers with a hot glue gun and add some chains and safety pins. Accent the skirt with a layer of netting.

Step 4Accessorize your punk clothing with studded bracelets, chains, big pendants and rubber bracelets.

Step 5Dress up a punk outfit with some black tights or fishnet stockings cut off at mid-calf. Tear holes in the tights or stockings to make them punkier.
Sounds Like: * Although all punks are usually different, they have one thing in common - an attitude! You should always stand up for yourself and what you believe in, and voice your opinion to anyone willing to hear it.
* Do something cool with your hair to make you stand out, like dying it an outrageous color. Or, if you want to play it safe, do just streaks. Mohawks are a often used hairstyle, as well as liberty spikes.
* Remember punk ISN'T about being against every authority.
* Careful not to cross the "metal" line. Just because it has flames on it does not make it rockabilly or punk.
* If you want to be a punk, you dont have to be all "ANARCHY!!!!!" Just be who you are.
* Don't let anyone call you a poser, and be sure to give them an evil look if they do.
* Start from the beginning and listen to , Alice Cooper, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Black Flag, The Buzzcocks, Circle Jerks, The Clash, The Cramps, Crass, Dead Kennedys, The Descendents, Die Toten Hosen, Discharge, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Lower Class Brats, Minor Threat, The Misfits, NOFX, Philippine Violators, The Ramones, The Ruts, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Talking Heads, The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, The Wuds, The Youth, Subhumans, D.O.A, Yano, etc...
* Start your own band.
* Remember punk is all attitude, not just about the look.
* Try army/military surplus stores for awesome boots/jackets,remember, these were meant for battle situations, and you want something that can stand firm at a punk show or in a mosh pit.
* Wear makeup sparingly. Only use black eyeliner, as for the eyeshadow two colors starting with a dark color on the bottom and then light color possible pink on the top but not too high will do, and don't cake it all on, also, bright nail polish works!(for girls)
* Try not to be a cliché.
* Dont discriminate. The punkscene is staunchly opposed to homophobia, racism, sexism and other irrational hatred.
* Quote: Don't worry about what others think, because they seldom do.
