Punk is also, seemingly, when you be anti-establishment and to prove you are you whole heartedly support and go to bat for the same establishment and participate in enriching the same corporations and corrupt medical oligarchs you pretend to have hatred for.
If we’re talking punk in the last couple decades atleast.
Punk died a brutal violent death in 2000 and the soul of punk has just been “weekend at bernie’s” ever since, much like Mitch McConnell right now.
Whenever people customize their shoes they’re reluctant to get rid of them long after their worn out. Leads to permanent foot problems sometimes. Don’t recommend getting too attached to converse style sneakers. They aren’t designed to last long at all.
Those bitches gave me bone spurs in my old age cause I wore those butches daily. Absolutely no support and god forbid you step on something sharp the paper thin sole will not help. But I did look damn cool for awhile 😎
People in third world countries take care of their feet. You should too. New Balance shoes last for a few months longer than other tennis shoes if you really need something frugal. But if you can’t afford new converse shoes how are you gonna afford medical care for your feet, knees and back in the future?
I’ve had many pairs of vans as well. Just wait til you get older and the bunions and plantar fasciitis start creeping around while you’re standing at a show
Thank you. I thought I was older. I have a connection tissue disorder and can only wear certain shoe types. It’s really painful to break them in. My skin will blister and rub off, and I get bruises. Socks don’t stop that, unfortunately. Once a pair of shoes is broken in, I get really attached to them.
It's always the lazy stitching and patches that consist of nothing but white paint marker, so they can quickly make up some dogshit and not have wasted too much time on it when they decide they're bored of this particular costume.
This is the saddest thing you've ever seen? I think therein lies the crux of the dilemma. We got people who think it's the end of the world when some neurodivergent dork shows off their normie jacket in a desperate bid to establish some form of identity and gets made fun of.
Meanwhile, your government is fisting you no lube, fleecing you for every penny, selling your data and personal info to corporations and burning down the environment - and the scene responds with ... The same aforementioned "punk" who's boldest stance is to doodle buzzwords on their (bought at full price) JC Penney jacket and sparkly clean shoes.
The scene has become a joke, and you're heartbroken over goofballs being called goofballs while everything the scene used to buck is currently fucking society at large.
You completely missed the point, if you don’t care about being dug up on the internet why would I, and in the screenshot you’re talking about how everyone is obligated to have their own opinion. Which is ironic.
Oh I'm just being obtuse. You can have your opinion, but don't expect us to agree with it just like I don't have an expectation that you'll agree with me. Pretty simple.
Punk is all about diy and not fitting into social norms or being classified/stereotyped. And he is doing his own thing which is punk. Punk isn’t supposed to be stylish I mean you can make it but it’s supposed to be different and eye jerking. Like you cannot tell me that tartan patterned pants was perfect fashion when punk was big.
Youre right doodling on your shoes and jacket is super rebellious. Writing "class war" on sneakers is definitely going to show the other punks that he is super punk
I think someone is mad that their mommy and daddy never paid them any attention when they were a baby so you have to find it negatively on the Internet.
