Are you stumped on what to get the punk rock kid in your life this holiday season? Believe it or not, punk rock kids are among the easiest to shop for, no matter how "unique" or "original" they may seem. I have compiled a list of the top ten things to get the punk rocker on your shopping list this holiday season that they are sure to love.

1) Rubber bracelets
Every kid that is in to punk rock can’t live without those little rubber bracelets. Usually they wear about a million of them at a time or twist two together to make a cooler looking one. They come in a variety of colors and usually about 10 or 20 come in a pack. If you can’t decide which color to get, the all black sets are usually the most popular. If you think that all black just seems a little too boring, then you can opt for the pink and black set, and don't worry the boys will like them too! Rubber bracelets are a great gift idea because at about $5.99 they are cheap, and the punk rocker in your heart will definitely appreciate them.

2) Vans
Vans Shoe Company offers many different styles and colors of shoes. The ones that punk rock kids usually like the most though are the "slip ons." Slip ons make a great gift because punk rock kids usually only wear one pair of shoes every single day until they have so many holes they are unable to wear them anymore. They will greatly appreciate a new pair of shoes, and you'll be happy to see them enjoying your gift every day from now until next Christmas. Can’t decide what color to get? Vans slip ons come in so many patterns and colors it'll make your head spin. Usually your best bet will be anything with a checkered print, or anything in pink and black, making the pink and black checkered print your best bet. Vans slip ons usually cost around $30.00-$40.00, but are really an awesome gift.

VANS?!?!?! Like, what happened to punk? Why do the shoes have to be vans? You shouldn't care about the trademark, but in my opinion, shoes that fit punks the best are converse, and always will be. And i don't think there can be rules for punk dressing. Everyone has got his unique style.

if someone got me black hair die for christmas i think i'd die laughing... who gets someone hair dye? not to mention black is overrated. i prefer bright green. but still, hairdye isn't that expensive if you get it at rite aid or something so just to walk down and grab some would be no deal. to give that to someone as a gift? wouldn't you be emarressed? it's basically admitting "hey i didn't have time to buy you that gibson sg guitar you wanted so... uhh.... here's some hair dye." not to mention the only people i know who wear vans are either emo or scene. not punk.

since the last three comments differ from each other so much, i'm pretty sure it's very obvious that punks are all different from each other. =p i thought this guide was pretty silly though. it made me laugh. =]

Are you serious? You obviously know absolutely nothing about punk, the music or the lifestyle. Punk stylings date back as far as the 1920's with early political jazz. You can't just hand a punk kid some random compilation CD and a t-shirt and expect them to be satisfied. Punks actually have brains that stretch far beyond just music. Yes, music is important, but so are our political beliefs, our social beliefs, AND other things. We don't have one track, all music minds! Believe it or not, Punks are just as multi-faceted and uniquely themselves as you are!!! You can't just make up some bullshit guide and expect people to buy into it! I mean, did you even compare the kids in the photo you chose to the clothing you opted to suggest?! We're not carbon cut copies of each other, we're all different and the BEST way to buy a present for "the punk rocker in your life" is to ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANT!

This is retarded. At least you got SOME bands right... but most of those are ska. Pink in black is overrated, and you can't just tag people with a color. We like different colors no matter what genre of music we listen too, faggot. Also, i'm pretty sure sid vicious didn't wear eyeliner. Billie joe does, but green day is a poser sellout band. If you want a guy look like a poser sellout, give him eyeliner. Rubber bracelets suck. So do you :)
