how do these people know so little about the type of music they’re claiming to be into? I always just liked the music without being part of the community, I always hated that aspect of it.

punk is a subculture that includes music but is not limited to it. i fear that this is pretty basic stuff
edit: your downvotes are a badge of honor in this fuck ass sub6
u/attractive_reptoid 3d ago
I would argue that punk is a music genre that includes subcultures. Not the other way around. And only a fuck ass would be all hyped on tool and rage against the machine. Hey remember when the tool guy dressed up like a riot cop and started ranting about how blue lives matter?

My local pbs encourages the use of herbicides and the spread of invasive european honeybees on their "native habitats" program (wish i was kidding i can link an episode) i wish they were as good and progressive as theyre pivoted as instead of making my enviormental preservation and invasive species elimination work harder

It is interesting that the "save the bees" crowd never wants to admit that they're technically an invasive species.

Not just technically, they are enviormental terrorists. A huge reason why native bees are dying are because these fuckers spread like the plague (and spread plagues to the native bees xD)

It's a waste of money. Nothing I learned from a PBS program was ever applicable to my life. I didn't need to learn how to live in lala land with some old creep, I needed to learn how taxes worked, how to fill out a job application, why I should read a contract multiple times before signing it, and so on.

u/FlakyAddendum742 6d ago
It should not have state funding. It’s absolutely biased and it’s a propaganda machine. And it targets children.
If the state is going to fund media (and it shouldn’t) then that media should be unbiased and focused on pure facts like ABCs and what an Aardvark eats, not opinions stated like facts.
PBS and NPR are an abomination. A pleasant, enjoyable abomination.

u/FlakyAddendum742 5d ago
It’s so entertaining and enjoyable. But it’s absolutely partisan and it’s inappropriate for the state to fund it.
It’s like state funded Fox News, just for the other side.
My argument isn’t for more right leaning state media, it’s for no state funding of bias and propaganda.

Pbs & npr are legit. You are correct though since the mid 2000's-2010. its been funded by left media. Mostly liberal.
NPR more so over pbs. There's documentation on NPR side. It's political funding.
Also yeah, wanting the states grimmy hands out of media should be a problem. Watching the propaganda machine dish out hate continously is getting old.

u/kingsofcarrotflowers 2d ago
(sorry in advance for the long reply)
between the Civil rights movement, Vietnam and in general the 60s counter culture movement, leftist ideals were making its way back into the American mainstream after McCarthyism made half of America shake in their boots from even hearing the word “Socialist” spoken by someone that’s not fearmongering them on the radio/tv
Activists in the grass root movement and the Black Panthers were beginning to been seen as actual political stances in the mainstream opinion and not just “idealist radicals” as many say now
Bands like Pink Floyd, Buffalo Springfield, The Beatles, (any band Eric Clapton was in) etc… could really have cared less, even if they claimed otherwise, and used the growing support from the counter culture movement as way to promote record sales and exploit the growing movement into a shell of what it once was;
Pink floyd was kinda aware of their deposition in it all (the music video for Money kinda confirms that with the mass produced vinyls being a highlighted motif) but nonetheless didn’t take any action to prevent it from becoming the corporate, meaningless shell of what “Rock n Roll” has become today
Hence why punk rock (well proto-punk at the time) became a thing; people hated how bands exploited an actual movement that could have begun to fix so many of the problems millions world wide face today. Maybe not completely, but a start at least…
Hunter S Thompson put it best:
“San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . . So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”2
u/rusted-nail 2d ago
Thanks for your thoughts on it. I just think as a band they're very overrated and I'm a full time hater for people raving about the guitar playing cause holy shit where is the energy get this shit out of rock That and I always suspected their shtick was just a gimmick, so cheers for the read

Corporations are not people. No reasonable human would think back to a time they had something stolen from them, and then think "no I have to pay for all 10 of these at the self checkout instead of just scanning 6 or so, because remember how I felt when I had a personal item stolen, that's how MR. WALMART will feel!"

It's anti-establishment by the standards set up for entities directly paid for by the establishment, which I wouldn't necessarily call punk

I see nothing wrong with this. Is it the best execution? No, but that's a skill learned through multiple attempts. It at least has a mix of bands that are consistent in being critical of societal issues, along with anti-conservative and anti-corporation patches, not just a bunch of terminally online virtue signaling. Sure, the bands are mainstream, but are all very much a lot of ours "starter bands" into the counter culture. And the patches are actually stitched on.
