Etymology
Punks comes from punk, which used to mean a 'worthless person' or 'young troublemaker', and in the 1970s it became the name for a loud, rebellious youth group around punk rock. That's why punks today means people in that music scene who wear shocking clothes and have a strong attitude against rules.
