Punk political ideologies are mostly concerned with individual freedom and [[anti-establishment]] views. Common punk viewpoints include [[anti-capitalism]] [[Civil liberties|individual liberty]], [[anti-authoritarianism]], a [[DIY ethic]], non-conformity, anti-[[corporatism]], anti-government, [[direct action]], and not "[[selling out]]".

Some groups and individuals that try to self-identify as being a part of the punk subculture hold pro-Nazi or Fascist views, however, these Nazi/Fascist groups are rejected by almost all of the punk subculture. The belief that such views are opposed to the original ethos of the punk subculture, and its history, has led to internal conflicts and an active push against such views being considered part of punk subculture at all. Two examples of this are an incident during the 2016 American Music Awards, where the band [[Green Day]] chanted anti-racist and anti-fascist messages,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/video/2016/nov/21/green-day-protest-at-amas-no-trump-no-kkk-no-fascist-usa-video|title=Green Day protest at AMAs: 'No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA' – video|date=21 November 2016|newspaper=The Guardian|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|access-date=21 November 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121105017/https://www.theguardian.com/music/video/2016/nov/21/green-day-protest-at-amas-no-trump-no-kkk-no-fascist-usa-video|archive-date=21 November 2016}}</ref> and an incident at a show by the [[Dropkick Murphys]], when bassist and singer Ken Casey tackled an individual for giving a Nazi-style salute and later stated that Nazis are not welcome at a Dropkick Murphys show. Band member Tim Brennan later reaffirmed this sentiment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7647550/dropkick-murphys-interview-boston-11-short-stories-pain-glory|title=Dropkick Murphys Will Never Stop Fighting Evil: Tim Brennan on Opposing Fascism, Addiction & Haters|website=Billboard.com|access-date=20 October 2020|archive-date=28 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028063214/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7647550/dropkick-murphys-interview-boston-11-short-stories-pain-glory|url-status=live}}</ref> The song "[[Nazi Punks Fuck Off]]" by hardcore punk band [[Dead Kennedys]] is a standout example.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-xpm-2012-aug-09-la-et-ms-jello-biafra-nazi-punks-hate-speech-20120809-story.html|title=Jello Biafra on 'Nazi Punks' and hate speech|website=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=9 August 2012|access-date=20 October 2020|archive-date=21 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021071620/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-xpm-2012-aug-09-la-et-ms-jello-biafra-nazi-punks-hate-speech-20120809-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Early British punks expressed [[nihilism|nihilistic]] and anarchist views with the slogan ''No Future'', which came from the [[Sex Pistols]] song "[[God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols song)|God Save the Queen]]". In the United States, punks had a different approach to nihilism which was less anarchistic than the British punks.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Stratton|first=Jon|title=Jews, Punk and the Holocaust: From the Velvet Underground to the Ramones: The Jewish-American Story |journal=Popular Music|publisher=Cambridge University Press |date=January 2005 | jstor = 3877595 |volume=24 |issue=1|pages=79–105|doi=10.1017/S0261143004000315|hdl=20.500.11937/17488|s2cid=162396086|hdl-access=free}}</ref> Punk nihilism was expressed in the use of "harder, more self-destructive, consciousness-obliterating substances like heroin, or methamphetamine".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/display/86 |title=The Situationist International Text Library/Consumer Society and Authenticity |website=Library.nothingness.org |date=3 October 1995 |access-date=12 February 2010 |archive-date=16 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316172132/http://library.nothingness.org/articles/SI/en/display/86 |url-status=live }}</ref>
