The transition of punk fashion has transcended from campy to cool. One illustrative example is the adoption of Kelly Osbourne's eccentric style. The same people who once mocked her for her fashion sense are now clinging onto her bootstraps for advice about how to avoid fashion faux pas. The notion of visual identification with the punk rock music you listen to, the affirmation that you belong to one community as opposed to another through your appearance is nothing new. What is new, however, is the ability to purchase these niche-creating garments at department stores and popular retail chains. This mainstreaming of fashion does not stop at mere garments. Colorful tattoos are again a must-have accessory, an idea perpetuated through popular imagery. Jewelry and other accents featuring studs have also risen in popularity.

The artists are not unaware of this trend towards commercialization. The goal of the do-it-yourself aesthetic still exists; the route to which you achieve it has changed with the convenient locations of stores offering punk rock music merchandise at a mall near you. Do not worry, the clothes are new, but look like they have been around for years, complete with rips, tears, and studs.

All told, punk rock fashion has come into its own, and graduated from the fringes of popularity to the forefront of chic, but at what costs?
