I think theres another word they use in Japan for the teens who dress up "punk"/"emo".
Punk is popular in the bigger cities but you don't see much outside them. They normally wear baggy T-shirts, ripped jeans with maybe a chain attached to them. Oh, and let's not forget the spiky hair that looks like Ryo from Shenmue :p

and they listen to Melt Banana :P
:P
I doesn't ONLY wan't to know what they look like...;-)
Are they working class or middle class, maybe even rich people that work in the office? =D
Do most of them play in a band or do they just drinking too much and want too look cool?
Punk-chic is very expensive in Japan. Most of them are around the age of 18 and massive posers to boot. Punk is very tame in Japan and almost drug free. Except for the occasional home brew pills!
I honestly believe Gundam vs Gundam Extreme is the greatest game every created - seriously, check it out.

Damn Canadian exports!
Not like you're going to see someone in Japan walking around dressed as a punk with a bunch of vintage reggae/punk early era shit.
Japanese punk isn't too bad, but it's not the edgy drug/drink/fuck type stuff that americans and brits know. It's more like... punk emo at the saddest..
punk emo?? oh my...
You guys consider the polysics punk? I don't know what you'd call them, except weird and great.
Maybe the polysics are in the alternative catagory, either that or there own little world. Good stuff though. I did go to a couple of punk gigs when I was in Japan and you did see the occasional hardered punk, but they were rubbing shoulders with people who had just come from the office. Punk in Japan seems more about dressing up than anything else, see one of my old girlfreinds really liked dressing up, and she would occasionally do "punk style" - just as a style. I did ask her who the sex pistols were and she drew a blank on the subject!

well maybe they go to those punk shows to whoop it up after working the whole day...
well, I've never been there, but from what I've read(mostly in Maximum Rock 'n' roll) there is a punk scene in japan, it's just that it's rather small. There are still a handfull of good bands(a large percent of them lean more towards pop-punk than anything, but not in a bad way), and most of the people that attend shows/support the scene do it for the fun and friendship, not just to look cool.
It does seem that a lot more focus is put on dressing like a punk over there then you tend to see in the states though.
