punk rocker

Spiked-hair anarchist

A punk rocker is someone who embraces punk rock music and its associated culture—the loud, fast, rebellious sound that emerged in the 1970s.

The term implies not just musical taste but attitude and often appearance: leather jackets, safety pins, mohawks, combat boots.

She was a punk rocker in her twenties before becoming a lawyer.
