Hey I'm in a punk band and we were looking to take some songs tweak the lyrics a bit and make them sound punk rock so what are some good ideas for songs that would sound good in a punk rock style?

Answer 1

You basically just need to think about the society, the people around you, politics, anarchy, etc. A punk rock song can be about anything, basically. What makes a good punk rock song, is when someone speaks about their own experiences that they have come across in their life. Many punk rock bands do that - they write lyrics about their own experiences, which is great, as that way fans can relate to their songs, and try to understand what the artist is trying to say and how he felt at that time. It shouldn't take you that long to write a good punk rock song, it should just come naturally. If you listen to some punk rock songs, you can tell that the lyrics speak about freedom, society, people, politics, love, doing what you want, etc. Also, if you watch some of the punk rock bands interviews, you would probably hear them say, that the writing of their songs comes from their own life experiences. This is what punk is about; it's about freedom, anarchy, love, having fun, and not caring about what others say or think. That is why punk is so good; punks, music, lifestyle, perspective of life, love, freedom, etc. So there you go, there are a lot of ideas which you could use to write a good punk rock song. Hope I helped -:)
