But where the general societal backlash to a subculture tends to abate over time, there's still the idea that punk is violent and nihilistic. Maybe it's the pervasive nature of the imagery. Maybe it was the hardcore seeding of memetics that painted punks as people who wanted to tear the system down and piss on the ashes. Or maybe it was because [[Sex Pistols|Sid Vicious]] fucked it all up for everyone else.
 
Hence, the Quincy Punk. The Quincy Punk looks for all the world like a stereotypical punk -- mohawk in all the colors of the Kool-Aid rainbow, studded leather jacket, and very uncomfortable piercings. The music he listens to is distorted and raw, like hardcore on PCP, and [[Did Not Do the Research|often doesn't much resemble actual punk rock]]. He's an anarchist, but it's more about [[Bomb-Throwing Anarchists|setting fire to a police station]] than [[Useful Notes/Political Ideologies|any sort of rational opinion on Kropotkin's]] ''[[Useful Notes/Political Ideologies|Mutual Aid]]''. Oh. And he hates you. The Quincy Punk is most often used as [[White Gang-Bangers|a stock mugger, thug, or street gang member]] for superheroes or other urban vigilantes to kick the crap out of, allowing for an intimidating image in an urban setting while avoiding the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of [[Batman]] beating the crap out of more racially-oriented street criminals.
 
For actual information on Punk rock, see [[Useful Notes/Punk|Punk]] or the [[Punk Rock]] page. Nothing to do with [[John Quincy Adams|the president]], unless some tell-all biography reveals his youthful radicalism.

Not to be confused with the race of Quincies from ''[[Bleach]]''. Or one of the first suburbs [[Southies]] escaped to.
