Earlier this week, Virgin Money announced that they had teamed up with The Sex Pistols for a series of credit cards themed around the legendary UK punk band. Naturally, this lead to some irate folks crying sell out. It even prompted Esquire to put together a roundup of the least punk things ever. But what things are punk, you might be asking. Good question. As the definitive source of punk, Noisey is glad to give you this list of 50 things that are definitely, 100 percent confirmed PUNK.

Discharge - Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing
It’s impossible to have a conversation about punk without mentioning UK’s Discharge. Though in a way, Discharge transcended punk, breaking free of the traditions that confined them. Their minimalist drumming style was so distinctive and recognizable that future imitators called it “d-beat” as an homage to Discharge. This style would make them progenitors of black metal, thrash metal, grindcore, crustpunk, and every other genre that tried in vain to copy the original. Their 1982 album Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing is a timeless, indisputable classic, the rock upon which all modern anarchist music is based.
Emo
Being honest about your feelings is the punkest thing of all.
