Punk motherfuckers (otherwise known as: wannabes, poseurs, jerk-offs, shitheads, etc.) Are a common annoyance to those of the warrior class. Although they usually know better that to annoy the warrior directly, their mere presence may constitute an unacceptable irritant. This is usually due to their disconcerting habit of calling undue attention to themselves through boisterous behavior. In extremis, this can result in their "heating up the neighborhood," which will result in an increased police presence and the potential for undue harassment over minor infractions of the law. Punk motherfuckers are the cause of a great many problems.

There are many different types of punk motherfucker. What they all seem to share in common is immaturity. Punk motherfuckers are impulsive, irresponsible, and inadequate. They are stupid, and usually seem incapable of looking after themselves. Often, they live with their mommies. When one does live "on their own," they are usually evicted within a couple of months for failing to pay their rent, playing loud music all night long, breaking windows and furniture, punching holes in walls and doors, and having the police respond to complaints several times a week. Their apartments tend to be shitholes filled with garbage and dirty laundry. Due to these factors, the typical punk motherfucker can reasonably expect to wind up either incarcerated or homeless in short order.

Most punk motherfuckers will have demonstrated anti-social proclivities from a very early age, usually manifesting in the acts of firestarting and the torture of small animals. They are invariably bullies, and may even hospitalize other youngsters if their violent outbursts are unchecked. The pre-adolescent punk motherfucker will think nothing of pushing other kids down a flight of stairs or busting their little heads open with a handy rock. As he reaches puberty, he may become sexually aroused by the neighborhood children — as well as his younger siblings — and proceed to victimize them. He will have a long history of trouble at school, including truancy, insubordination, vandalism, and theft. It will come as no surprise to his teachers and fellow students when they start seeing his name in the paper connected with a variety of petty crimes.

Those punk motherfuckers do love to catch a buzz, and often are fucked up for weeks at a time. Their drug of choice is usually Jack Daniels, crack cocaine, or crystal meth — but since they cannot always afford such luxuries, they’ll settle for domestic vodka, generic beer, fortified wine, LSD, dirtweed, butane, and spraypaint . . . anything to dull the pain of being alive. This combination of cheap booze and toxic chemicals often makes them belligerent, which can present a problem if they start screaming at the neighbors, beating their girlfriends in public, or walking through parking lots smashing windshields with a stick.

Punk motherfuckers tend to be insecure, and usually feel a need to identify with a group they perceive as "strong" and worthy of "respect." This may entail the fabrication of a costume of some sort, which suggests inclusion with such a group. A wannabe biker will acquire a Harley-Davidson T-shirt, and possibly a cut-off denim jacket which he will begin to festoon with pins from the local flea market. A wannabe gangsta may start to wear sports gear, baggy pants, and possibly even a colored hankie. A wannabe mercenary will often start to wear camouflage pants and combat boots everywhere he goes. A wannabe Satanist will typically begin to dress all in black, perhaps with a "Marilyn Manson" T-shirt or a prominently displayed inverted pentagram. A racist punk will usually shave his head and may begin to wear Doc Martens and red suspenders to proclaim his beliefs. After donning their costume, they will then begin to use the jargon and affect the mannerisms of the group. In some cases, they may even be accepted into a local group of outcasts with similar beliefs, in which case they will become exponentially more dangerous as they feel the need to "prove themselves" to one another — often through the means of violent crime. Punk motherfuckers are responsible for the majority of gang assaults versus lone citizens, as well as a great many purse-snatchings, muggings and armed robberies of convenience stores.

The typical punk motherfucker tends to project the illusion of a huge ego in order to compensate for his repressed inferiority complex. He wants everyone around him to know that he’s "the man," and he’s the one "calling the shots." His pathological compulsion to dominate others stems from his lack of control over himself and his environment. The punk motherfucker will loudly berate others — including strangers — in a variety of public places so as to let everyone know that he’s "in charge." He will invariably confine his verbal abuse to those who are small, weak, timid, or frail — and will not hesitate to physically attack anyone who contests this abuse, so as to put them "in their place." Any woman stupid enough to attach themselves to him will soon find herself subject to regular verbal, physical, and sexual abuse — as will be any children she brings into the "relationship." The punk personality will most likely move into her home, then begin to make increasingly unreasonable demands until she finally is forced to terminate the relationship — at which point the stalking will commence.

A punk motherfucker is incapable of forming a meaningful attachment with other living creatures. If he — or more likely, a roommate — has a pet of any sort, it will surely be neglected and abused. Have you ever seen the show Animal Precinct, in which officers respond to complaints of animal abuse? The offenders are invariably punk motherfuckers! Only a degenerate shithead would leave a dog chained outside without food or water in the dead of winter. Only a bestial scumsucker would lock several dogs in the basement of its apartment complex and forget about them. Only a semi-retarded troglodyte would allow a dog to slowly strangle to death as it outgrew its tight-fitting collar. When a punk motherfucker does happen to feed its dog, the animal is invariably a pitbull which has been systematically mistreated in hopes of making it vicious. Dogs do not like punk motherfuckers, who are more attuned to lesser creatures like snakes and ferrets.

Punk motherfuckers tend to do things impulsively, without any thought as to the possible consequences of their actions. These are the people who hit others in the face with beer mugs for no good reason, steal idling cars at gas stations simply to speed around and do donuts, molest teenaged girls passed out at parties, and pocket the belongings of friends and relatives whom they visit. When they are held accountable for their misdeeds, they invariably deny what they have done or attempt to shift the blame to others. If the police become involved, the punk motherfucker will usually attempt to "make a deal" by ratting out everyone he knows for everything from having bought stolen stereo components from him to having sold him his last bag of weed. If the police tell him that the information he has provided "isn’t good enough," he will not hesitate to begin making things up. A punk motherfucker cannot be trusted.

A punk motherfucker is an incorrigible fuckup. He has no self-discipline, no patience, and hardly any self-control. He thinks nothing of breaking his word, lying, or stealing — even from his alleged friends. He is impulsive, and cannot resist the temptation to commit criminal acts — even when the risk of getting caught is very high. He will often pick fights with those he believes he can either beat or get to "back down" from his abuse — and when he is proved wrong, he will always try to "get the last word" by slinging insults from a safe distance or making threats of future violence — and may even wait outside in hopes of blindsiding his better from ambush.

Be warned — there are many misconceptions regarding the punk motherfucker, and, as with any potential opponent, it would be foolish to underestimate him. For example, it is commonly said that the punk motherfucker has no "heart," or has "Kool-Aid pumping through his veins." Although this is usually true — especially in the rare instances when his "posse" isn’t there to back him up — you may be in for a surprise if he continues to get up and come back at you after having been repeatedly knocked on his ass. However, this is not due to valor, but rather the fact that he is pissed off and simply "doesn’t give a fuck" what happens to him since he truly does not have anything to lose. Another myth is that the punk motherfucker is "weak" or "unskilled." While this is often the case, many punk motherfuckers are bigger than average, have above-average physical strength, or are experienced streetfighters well capable of doing serious physical harm to the unwary. Another misconception is that the punk motherfucker is always "easy to spot" due to his constant spouting of bullshit, swaggering "tough guy" attitude, and fondness for "clown clothes" and stupid haircuts. The unfortunate fact is that some punk motherfuckers have actually learned from past mistakes that it is better not to attract attention to themselves. Furthermore, a punk motherfucker need not be a young male between the ages of 16 and 25 — no, there are an awful lot of middle-aged (and older) degenerates out there who behave in a similar fashion as their younger counterparts, as being a punk motherfucker is a state of mind rather than the result of mere youth and inexperience. Finally, be advised that nearly all violent punk motherfuckers have a history of using weapons against unarmed opponents. If they do not happen to have a knife, razor, screwdriver, or .25 automatic on their person, they will not hesitate to pick up the nearest improvised weapon with which to initiate their attack (usually from behind, after having previously "backed down" from a confrontation). A punk motherfucker will always strike when you’re not expecting it. If you underestimate him, you leave yourself vulnerable to a surprise attack.
