They created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself) ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and distributing them through informal channels. The ideals associated with punk music have caused a rift between fans of the music due to mainstream bands claiming the title while not applying any of the characteristics aside from instrumental simplicity.

However before the UK '82 and US Hardcore styles emerged, and with them certain "uniforms" and unifying culture, punk was less of an aesthetically homogenous style and more of an umbrella movement where uniqueness and self-expression were encouraged. Examples of this are the original New York punk bands associated with CBGBs who had very little in common stylistically, and also the bands involved in the UK scene who used elements of reggae or goth in their music (in fact it was from this post-punk scene that goth eventually emerged). Therefore it is arguable that any band rooted in punk yet creating their own sound against expectations are more in the spirit of true punk than a band sticking rigidly to the genre blueprints.

All the Small Things
by blink-182

All the small things
True care truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride, best trip
Always I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting
Commiserating

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na

Say it ain't so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill

Say it ain't so, I will not go (na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Turn the lights off, carry me home (na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill (na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
The night will go on (na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
The night will go on (na-na, na, na)
My little windmill
