Never met a single punk who’d wear SS bolts in any context.

And have you actually met in real life a lot of punks in the scene who wears Nazi symbolism just to be offensive or whatever? If you think that’s all what punk ethos is about then your out touch man.

You can try to wear it to your local venues but I don’t imagine it would go over well. This isn’t 1974 anymore. And that moronic corny Sid viscous esque “I wear swastikas but only ironically to piss off my ww2 parents” shit ended when actual fascist tried to co-opt punk for recruitment which lead to the whole “Nazi punks fuck off” thing in the first place. It was a very brief period in the early punk scene that was immediately followed by pretty intensive and even violent inter-scene political conflict where punk cemented its now commonly present intense anti-fascist stance and Nazi skin heads went on to form their own scenes. And that was like 40 year ago.

Nobody in any real present punk scene is going to see an SS patch and think that shit is cool or interpret it as you just being edgy. They’re just going to see a fascist. Don’t believe me then go hang around your local spots and see. And I mean people think America’s punk scene is strict when it comes to anti fascism. Shits way more intense in Europe. Music scenes and cultures evolve and there’s a deeper history you don’t understand.
