All punked out

Punk attitude, ideals, and images have become so integrated into modern mainstream life, from the magazines we read to the clothes we wear to the songs we hum along to, we hardly recognize it when we see it - even in the mirror. You may not think you're punk. But you are if . . .

You listen to the driving, three-chord guitar tunes of Miley Cyrus (right).

You covet Chloe's zipper-covered Gladys tote bag.

You use hair products that add vertical definition.

You read Dennis Cooper's novels.
