Best Answer

Depending on your definition of "rock," the answer could be one of the following:

- because we are naturally good inside and, sometimes, it's nice to see others embrace that inherent goodness

- because they desire to express emotion through music

- because they are on a boat

- because of an earthquake

- because they are autistic

As for why "Rocks and Minerals" was listed as a category is beyond me as people cannot "rock" in the sense of naturally-occuring geological aggregates.

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.
