Punk Scene?

Not the one in denial? My point WAS that everyone conforms in some ways. I'm not in any denial here. Besides that, the only typically Punk things about my appearance are band shirts. Maybe flannel and jeans count, but I dunno.

 

Just as you stated we have to conform a little to even survive these days, but I choose my battles
Everyone has a different situation and they have to do what they have to do to get by, that's the real world
But I don't think anyone here actually believes that they are 100% non-conformist

I've always contradicted the norms of my immediate surroundings
as the area I grew up in consisted of nothing but rich kids and segregated neighborhoods
In high school everyone hated me and I hated 99% of them
Punk music was a way to find a self-identity, and not feel lost all the time
Even though the "punks" in my school hated me as well, I stuck with it to this day.
I'm pretty sure one of them is a cop now...

Even now that I am older I practice civil disobedience
Am I a perfect example of rebellion? The 'A' Student of the revolution? No. Are you? No. Is anyone? No.
In this country, America, It just simply can't be all or nothing.

 

well, i agree you should be respectful to all, butr older punks, or even elitist punks should be looked at this way, they make it harder to be part of the scene, so in a way it's like weeding out the trendies, and the ones who stick with it in spite of the hazers should be stronger in their convictions of being part of the scene. (i like to turn negatives into positives.)

 

A. whats that got to do with anything
B. Need I point out the fucking obvious that your on a computer too?

I use soap, something closet rich crusties don't come across often these days. and I will continue to wear what I want without peer pressure from others thank you very much. and in conclusion, I don't want your pity, I pity you for being a close minded little fuck.

Being modest doesn't mean you conform. conformity is a mindset, not a prerequisite of the human brain.

 

Come on, it's already too much attention spend on the little prince on the pea, there are much more important aspects to discuss and the crusties relations with soap are too old a joke to be funny anymore.
Newbies risking a big lip are a problem everywhere, maybe it's this peer-group-thingie, but I don't see it as a survival of the fittest if the ones more serious about the punk-thing stay in the scene and start becoming more than a nervous pain in the ass.
Sometimes the old bulls/top dogs in the scene are a pain to watch too, so I try to stay between the two positions to practice a bit of education to both sides to get at least a ceasefire until some moment of action proves who's the punk making my day and who's not.
Dressing up is easy, and throwing around bookwise judgements is easy too, especially when it's necessary to cover up/compensate the fact, that it's still mum and dad who pay for the livestyle - just to prevent something more "worse".

And quoting the almighty protspect:

 

showers are for dirty people

 

Great little article from Marissa Magic in MaximumRocknRoll on the evils of selling out as a punk:

Your statement looks homophobic to me. Please dont use words such ass gay to describe something u dont like!

 

By far the smelliest of all the scenesters, the Crustpunk embodies the D.I.Y. punk ethos with his nihilistic attitude and “freegan” diet. Typically an extremely unkempt individual with patches and pins barely holding together his soiled wardrobe, the Crustie goes months on end without bathing, ensuring his unemployment.
When not attending politically radical protests and Food Not Bombs events, the Crustie can be found panhandling on city streets with his banjo and emaciated dog at his side. Despite being anti-corporation, the majority of his earnings goes towards beer. The Crustpunks are also anti-authority, anti-work, anti-government, anti-religion, anti-showers, but are somehow not anti-five-day-old-burrito in the Trader Joe's dumpster.
Even though he lives a nomadic lifestyle squatting in abandoned buildings and train-hopping, the Crustie never strays too far from home. Eventually he'll need to hit up mom and dad in the suburbs for more cash, so he can stay poor.



oi! this reject attempts to relive the spirit of ‘77 but, alas, was born in ‘91.

as a lover of music that revolves around the poor and working class, it only seems fitting that this street punk resides with his parents in their greenwich, ct mcmansion.

like most in his scene, he doesn’t know the first thing about politics aside from what his father brings to the dinner table. he has a strong stance against fascism, racism and sexism even though he has no idea what any of those terms truly mean. this punk firmly believes in anarchy, but this does not stop him from posting all day on the rupert-murdoch-owned myspace.com.

although his lifestyle may seem to embrace rebellion and individuality, the pseudo-punk spends plenty of time ensuring that his leather jacket is adorned with enough studs and patches to look just like those of his friends. he claims to be ambivalent about what anyone thinks of his looks, but he will go out of his way to put elmers glue and five cans of hairspray into his liberty spikes so they can stand as tall as possible.

when asked about his fashion, he will firmly attest that clothing does not define a punk. rather, the offbeat form of dress is simply a sign that encourages unity and deflects negative nuisances- which is, ironically, how everyone else views them.

lol
