{ J-Punk } “J-Punk stands for Japanese Punk. One subgenre of J-Punk is characterized by chaotic guitars and half screamed/half sung vocals.”

{ Punk Inquiry & Study Site (PISS) } “Recently I have struck an unlikely friendship with a schoolgirl who claims to be Punk and in dress and music sense she is flawlessly so. But she doesn’t understand the lyrics to the songs and spends most of her free time e-mailing and chatting on her mobile phone. I have tried to explain to her a few of the inconsistencies between her image and her character really because I want to understand the attraction of being a Punk in Japan.”

You select from eight characters like “Girlfriend”, “Mother-in-Law,” “Con artist,” and “Child Molester” and then you ram a giant plastic finger into an ass that protrudes out from the arcade unit next to the words “HAVE A FUN!! ENJOY.” As you poke, spank, and probe, the game plays an animation of your victim wailing in pain.” { Continue reading }
