its so funny to listen to podcasts from people who r just like completely different from you. to me its so nuts these guys on the podcast im listening to had never heard of gg allin and r like 27 and said theyre too scared to go to a hardcore show. they had never heard of even the concept of crust punks

I had a dream last night about them, which, never happens, but I realized I’ve never drawn him in his crust gear as an adult, and Caro would lose their damn mind over it. He had messy hair in my dream so here we are. A WIP. My sketches are so rough hahaha.

Not the "people before profit" patch jacket being $449, fast fashion is fucking beyond satire at this point

if you’re looking for a cool new punk band to listen to, i highly recommend looking for local small bands before searching “punk” into spotify.

don’t know how to find them?

what i did is i looked up what some punk bars in my area, i started going on random nights and found bands i liked that way. (if you’re under 21, you can still look up the bars, but go to their instagram, see what bands are playing and see if they are on band camp, spotify, etc.)

this has worked amazing for me, i’ve made so many friends, it’s to the point where certain bands shows feel like monthly family reunions full of so much love and genuine compassion.

hope this helps anyone wanting to be more involved in the subculture

EDIT: if you live in a small town, just search the nearest big city. or honestly any city that you vibe with. every area has a slightly different sound and scene find what you blend with!!

I love punk!Steve because the idea of Eddie Munson frothing at the mouth over the fact that he thinks a punk is that hot is so hilarious. Like Eddie is just always two seconds away from starting shit because he can’t believe this guy can just walk around looking that good and have that shitty of a music taste

Meanwhile Steve is so unbothered and really could not give less of a fuck about the punk v metal war around him. He’s too busy vibing and babysitting and making sure Robin doesn’t actually drool whenever a pretty woman smiles at her. He’s completely unaware that Munson is nearly hyperventilating and being held back by Wayne and Corroded Coffin by the scruff of his neck

“I've got some fishnets I cut into sleeves, an old shirt I flipped inside out and painted on, and a jacket my grandpa got me ages ago that I decked out and took the sleeves off of. My pants are from my friend. Originally they were plain black with significantly less holes but when I learnt about patch and crust pants I was like ’I want to do something very Lance with these’ so any old clothes that didn't fit I cut up and made it to patches or I bought some patches. What inspires my style is the punk subculture! Regardless of what's happened to it over the years, at its core it's very individualistic in terms of self expression. With each person that falls in love with punk mindset/ideologies you get a new perspective on what punk can look like. It's a look that's very familiar because you can spot it from a mile away but it's also very eccentric because there's no one specific way to do it. The lot of it is just do it yourself and do it you!”
