i fucking hate "what is punk" discourse on here i just saw someone claim that punk has to be inherently political as if oi doesn't exist

like some of yall on here will say things like "mcr isn't punk rock" (correct) and then put a reason that is just not rooted in the real world

and i do not at all try to say that i am the one valid authority on what is punk (that would be absurd) but please. fact check what you say and do not fucking try to make the history of punk less "problematic" bc you can't stand to like something that might be ideologically impure

#to be clear i am much more into the political kind #but i am also fucking aware that there's still oi punk and that there's a fucking reason that songs like nazi punks fuck off exist #pleaseee just go to a bunch of local shows talk to old punks have someone make stupid jokes abt the band on your shirt #i am begging you #also the flip side of this is of course that not everything you like has to be punk for you to be punk #ITS OKAY TO ALSO LIKE OTHER STUFF #fuck i need to get off tumblr and go to a show #spike spoke
