Punk demands more

Never Try to Give a Definition of Punk

"Being a punk is aber constantly surprising. It's not about having a mohawk hairstyle and keeing it your whole life. Being a punk means systematically changing the image of yourself, being elusive, sabotaging cultual and political codes. 

Punk is a method. Bach and Handel are my main punk influences. I don't like the concept of punk subculture, where you are really stuck in the image. (...) Punk demands more. (...) Underminde, transform, exceed expectations. That's what punk means to me."

- Read & Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova (2018)
