X-Punx Of The World Unite!!!

X-Punx Of The World Unite!!!

A home for all those who haven't padlocked their brains shut.

I am the Nanook Punk. I'm older than my teeth, and
younger than the Bible. I made this page to present
my views on stuff. I make no apologies to any for
who I am, what I believe, how I look, and what I
say. If you don't wanna hear what I want to say,
piss off. If you are however interested in the free
exchange of ideas, intrests, brain farts, and
music speak. Hang out and take it in.

What is an X-Punk?

X-Punk is a term I have created so many may
have never heard of it before.

The Greeks back in the day used symbols for whole
words. It saved space on their scrolls for other
stuff. One of these symbols was what could be
mistaken as a germanic X. The Greek Symbol X had
only one meaning. It simply meant Christ.

I and alot of my buds get sick of having to tell
people that we are Christian Punks. It's first
a real pain in the ass to type. Second, it labels
us as something we are not.

The term Christian in itself is not a bad thing.
It was coined by the romans as an insult for those
who tried to live their lives following and acting
like Christ. It meant little Christ. What I
believe occurs in society across the board is
this. When a sect of people name themselves
and organize their group over time they become
stereotyped and classified by the remainder of
their society.

The terms Christian and Punk do not sit well
together. Not because the two things cannot
coexist, but because our society doesn't like
things that do not fit with it's pre-set ideals.

I am an X-Punk. I have Christ in my heart, in my
life, and in my soul. I do not however fit the
Christian stereotype. Not only that, but I do
not fit the original meaning of the term Christian
I am not a little Christ. Jesus wasn't a punk.
If he were around today I don't think he would
listen to Punk Rock. I do believe he allows
all music to glorify him. I am convinced that
he blesses me and my band every day. I just
think he does it cuz we are spreading his news.

Put simply I'm a Punk. It's a part of who I am.
I came up in my scene and paid my dues. No one
can convience me that my loving Christ isn't Punk
Rock. Punk has allways been about doing your own
thing. Being who you are and not apologising for
it. There are aspects of Punk that are almost a
given in the minds of many punks. Such as hating
the system, or the parts that have failed you.
Things like that make it seem akward to have a
guy who loves others, yet rebels against normal
society in a somewhat violent manner.

What Bands Does This X-Punk Listen To?

I listen to lots of different types of music.
I listen to bands that have Christians in them.
I listen to bands that don't have any Christians
in them.
Good music is Good music regardless of a person's
religious background.
