There are many similarities in Punk Rock and Garage Rock, but the difference is that Garage Rock is basically rock and roll with a punk sound, and punk is surf rock with a punk sound.

Garage Rock from the 60's, when it started, was supposed to be rock and roll, just like the stuff that was popular at that time, but it sounded much more raw, as they didn't have technology to sound clean like everyone else. They were normally much younger than most popular musicians of their time, and recorded and wrote music in their garages. Thus, garage rock. Bands in modern times that are classified under the Garage Rock genre are the The Strokes (early material), The White Stripes, The Hives, Jet, The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, ect. They all have catchy guitar lines and upbeat rock and roll songs.

Punk Rock is very upbeat music that is meant to sound raw and anti-materialistic. Most members of Punk bands did not have experience in playing their instruments until they joined the band. They mean to sound like they recorded their music in their garage, and they mean to be offensive and gritty, unlike garage rock bands. Punk bands from modern times include: Blink 182, Green Day, Sum 41, The Offspring, ect.

What is the differences between punk rock picnic and punk rock gig?

There is no difference really, between a punk rock picnic and a punk rock gig. Both of them are punk rock festivals, which means that there is lots of people coming to see it, bands performing live, people having fun, etc. The only difference might be that, at a punk rock picnic, there are some areas where people can sit and eat, whereas at a punk rock gig you can still eat, but you mostly stand up and do the pogo/moshing dance with the crowd, so that can be the only difference.

Not much really. Punk rock is about rebellion against the law and government. Emo means emotive hardcore and is more about people talking about their life. Emotive Hardcore is a sub genre of hardcore punk and indie rock so emo is basically punk.

What is the difference between punk and punk rock?

They are the same. not really: Think of rock as Earth and punk as Australia. Punk is a sub genre of Rock and is usually faster, louder, and are simpler than normal rock music. Most punk songs are made with only 3 or 4 chords and are short in length. Rock has been around since the 50s and punk has been around since the mid 70s. "Punk" is a fashion style (like pink or green mohawks), and Punk Rock is the actual rock 'n roll genre. I have met many poser "punks" who have the fashion look, but who hate Punk Rock music. Real punk rockers heartily dislike these fashion poseurs. source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080129142028AAe4l6X


What is the difference between punk and metal?

Most people can tell the difference but I would suggest (as a very broad generalisation) punk tends to be faster and the lyrics more political whereas metal tends to be heavier and slower with more solos but like I say, some punk bands combine metal styles and some metal bands use punk drum beats/lyrical styling etc


Difference between Punk rock and alternative rock?

alternative is basically anything new that rips off any one, or multiple syles of any other music. Actually, "alternative" is what happened when the hardcore Punk sound flopped commercially and the garage bands flailed haplessly around, looking for something, anything to take its place. Now Green Day is a successful commercial Punk band that makes millions, and a group like the White Stripes who have a "semi-Punk" sound are considered "Alternative." Alternative Rock is just a name for ex-punksters trying to come up with something new-sounding, yet somewhat as dynamic as Punk Rock. Usually they fail.
