- Style your hair. It is popular to have your hair black if you want to be punk. You can spruce it up by adding a few streaks of color or wearing your hair in an extreme fashion. You could try a mohawk or liberty spikes, but a buzz cut or really short hair works, too.
- Learn how to skate, if you don't already know. This is a very important step in being a skate punk. If you don't know how to skate, you may end up looking like a poser. Make sure you suck up to the local skaters who think they are better than you so they don't hassle you when you screw up on a trick.
- Wear skate clothes. Wear skate shirts, studded belts, and the like. Of course, to avoid being like everyone else, you could make your own clothing, or just stick to band shirts.Wear cool pants grey,dark grey,black,dark blue just makes sure you dont look to punk or to skater
- Get skateboarding shoes. Shoes are very important, as they can make or break your image. Some examples are:
- Talk about your favorite bands. Listen to what the others are listening to, and never keep up with MTV's standard artists.Also dont listen to everything other people listen to beacuse then it will seem you cant pick out your own bands.
TIPS
- Studded belts are not mandatory but believe it they look cool.
- Hats are cool, so next time you're out, find a nice one to wear.
- Ripped clothing is certainly acceptable from time to time, but don't rip your jeans on purpose, at least with people watching. you will be called a poser.
- Wear wristbands. These are so you don't get sweat on your wrists, and everyone knows how hard it is to skate with sweat on your wrists.
- Messenger bags are great things to carry around when you're not carrying your skateboard.
- Element makes decent boards, so load up on them. Beware though, some people hate them on the half pipe.
- Make sure you know how to skate, or there is just no point to this.
- Listen to a lot of underground punk bands, since that's where the action is. Along with them, listen dead kennedys,faction,black flag,gorilla biscuits,anti-flag this are some good bands but remember you dont have to listen to these bands listen to what yout think is good
- In reference to "punk bands", one should always remember that the 'Sex pistols' and "the ramones" were the first, and are a 'have to have' if your even going to try and listen to anything punk.
- You can watch MTV sometimes, to check out videos, but don't listen to them when they tell you about how "punk" somebody is.
WARNING
- Stay away from pop music.Dont try to sastify other people by listening to what they listen. Listen to skate punk bands. Some good examples are JFA, NOFX, and The Faction. Black Flag could work too.
- Your new hair might be labeled as 'emo' if you're not careful, so make sure you style it correctly.Emo hair is basiclly a big bang over your eye
- Wear a helmet when boarding; you might be made fun of, but they won't be laughing when you crack your skull open.
- Punk is also about attitude, think what you want to think(dont be cocky though) and dont let any one tell you otherwise.
- Also, don't be too soft, be aggressive.
