my background is in mods it helped me be a lot less mainstream and get out of my stupid being with everyone else phase and so i like and i want to stay mod but yet evermore i am being turned on to anarchist ideas. so i am in a situation because i want to stay mod but yet i also want to be punk.
ok but still though i want to mix the styles of the 2 but is that like taboo because i have some punk friends that say that thats not good. also arnt mods and punks sort of enemies
no division, those who say its a bad idea: i.... do the math, stand proud stand tall and learn to fight or run, who dares wins, u betta do it right though haha, no 'fusion' shit, wear it with style, well punx r kinda dirty so haha, its in the mind anyway i thought a skin was kindova an equivalent, punk came outta making do and diy
Why should u be worried about what other people think? Thats not what being anarcho is about. it's about thinking for yourself and doing what YOU want. Mix whatever styles you want, whatever you like to do is right for you, if other people dont like it, fuck them.
Here in San Diego there is a long tradition of mods and punks mixing and uniting...for years there were gangs of punks on Vespas, and mods that sported Battalion of Saints logos on their Vespas and all that mods vs rockers bullshit is from England way back in the day, I personally associate with all the music that mods love although I am an Anarcho Punk so who cares about constraints....
I don't care about all the labels, here in small town Iowa where I grew up, none of the labels mattered, punk is punk, if you like it listen to it, if you like the clothes wear them, it is good to know it's roots, but you shouldn't mold yourself in the image that you are told or think that you should look or act. In the words of Shakespeare "To Thine Own Self Be True"
Well there are Skunks (Skinhead-punks) why not Munks hahah (Mods-punks) I'm surprised to see there are still mods around, i thought they all became skinheads lol
Oh, oh here it comes. We're on now As for mixing... hell I've been a metalhead (including hair), a goth, a geek, a skater, an alt, a punk (including mohawk) and now I just don't give a fuck, I have hair that's an inch long that gets streamlined on the sides and spiked up top and in the back, my leather jacket is well-worn and has a fucking drainage-filter stamped into the back and most of my trousers and shirts are busted, while my combat boots are 1 year old, going on 10. And STILL I identify most with the skinhead/oi movement, from what I've read.... lol
dosent matter do what you want be a mob/punk be a punk be a mod what ever you feel your really yourself in i went threw several phases before i learned to be my self and it just so happened that i was a punk
When i see all those Poxy Posy Mods , I want to beat up all the silly sods . When i see them Walking down the street It makes me wanna puke cause they look so neat. They wear shit parkas even when its hot Theyve got less brain cells than a lump of snot .- (( Beat Up Mods - '' Peter and The Test Tube Babies "))
And in my opinion Punk is not about How Cool and trendy your Mowhawk looks .. Or kids dying for attention that mommy and Dad never give so they rebel and wear black eyeliner one week, than cut themselves the following week , than grow a mohawk and presto Im a Punk!! BULLSHIT!!! Punk is an Attitude and for me a way of life since 1982 !!! Yeah Im old but I know what Punk Rock is !! And what its Not !!!
peter and the test tube fans touch up girls, its pretty black and white but things turn to grey mosts people callin themselves mods ain't though, i treat it on an indiviudual basis, i got no probz with 'mods'
though i have a punk attitude but i love the mod style but i need now i need ideas about how to mix the 2 if anyone has any good pics for inspiration just post a link or what ever. also are there any mod-punk bands? besides mod revival
look up skins ala vesper boys and girls oh and the history during the skin soulboy movement etc, orginal skins etc etc were a total mix of mod and punk, more straight up and down, punx tend to improvise and take influence to say someit about the world around them ala the mohawk etc etc etc specially in the u s aaaa(though do sum readin about native cultures and custom), bondage pantz mrr radio 4 u
Yeah maybe I shouldnt have posted the Test Tube baby line .. They were just another crappy band tryin to cash in on shock value.. When i heard Mods that song popped in my head.. Bottom line is Punk, Mod, Skin, Crust, Its all just a Label .. As far as what fassions a person should wear that never really made sense to me.. BE YOURSELF !!!
