    Find out what kind of punk he is. These days, the term "punk" can mean almost anything. In music alone, there are many sub-genres. What exactly does he enjoy? Which bands does he like? How does he dress? Does he like black leather, piercings, Mohawks, or just plain t-shirts and jeans?

EditTips

  • If you're not sure whether your boyfriend already has the present that you're considering, ask his friends, family members, or take a good look around when you're in his place; just don't make it too obvious.
  • A lot of punks are also politically active. Look into popular books, movies, and Cd's that relate to his political interest.

EditWarnings

  • If you're going to give him clothes, make sure that they will fit him. A lot of people go wrong in picking the correct size, even for people they're close to.
  • One person's interpretation of "punk" may not fit another person's interpretation...it's very much necessary to figure out his favorite bands, and his interests. Does he like old-school punk (Ramones, Sex Pistols, Richard Hell, The Adicts), Anarcho-punk(Subhumans, Crass, Rudimentary Peni, Witch Hunt), Crust Punk(Aus-Rotten, Toxic Narcotic, F-Minus, Antischism), Hardcore Punk(Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Husker Du, M.D.C.), hardcore(Minor Threat, Void, Government Issue, Scream), Skacore(Leftover Crack/Choking Victim, Operation Ivy, Suicide Machines, Voodoo Glow Skulls), or Thrash Punk(DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, Cro-Mags, The Exploited)
