Overall Meaning

The lyrics to AFI's song "Drink Drank Punk" are a humorous, tongue-in-cheek take on the stereotypical punk lifestyle. The singer of the song is reveling in his ability to drink copious amounts of alcohol and engage in reckless behavior without consequence. He boasts about his drinking prowess and his ability to out-drink those around him, singing "I'm so cool, 'cause I can drink so much, and I can drink more than you!" The chorus repeats the phrase "drink drank punk" over and over again, emphasizing the song's focus on drinking as a central tenet of punk culture.


However, the song takes a darker turn with verses two and three. In verse two, the singer brags about his sexual conquests, describing a girl he met at a bar and took home for the night. He rates her attractiveness as a "ten at two" and then lampoons her appearance the next morning after a drunken tryst. In verse three, the singer reveals that he is at the mall drinking with an older man and is now worried about his mother finding out. He insults his mother and suggests that he is getting away with his behavior because she is "old and dumb."


Overall, the lyrics to "Drink Drank Punk" can be seen as a commentary on the glorification of destructive behavior within punk culture. While the song is clearly meant to be humorous and over-the-top, it also highlights the potential consequences of excessive drinking and casual sex. The singer's cavalier attitude towards these activities suggests that he is not considering the long-term effects of his actions.
