Reminder for punks or anyone wanting to be punk:

Punk isn't all about enamel pins, leather, and spikes

There's a lot of softer areas of punk that don't have to do with the way you dress

Supporting public libraries, independent gardening, shopping small, donating to charities, making your own stuff, (stealing from big businesses), and basically any form of environmentalism are all very punk things

I myself don't dress punk, but I listen to the music and have the same ideologies. I am just as punk as the people kicking cops and shaving their heads.

Punk fashion is grungy, punk ideology is kind. Remember this.

#punk is never not political #punk isnt dead just tired #punk #punk is not dead #punk is soft #support local libraries #shop small #steal from your local walmart #stop invalidating punks for liking pastels you emo fucks

sudden yearning for time travelling teen jiang fengmian lands at lotus pier fic that winds up being about a perfectly nice kid having a varying series of "oh no. i don't like that. that's a lot" reactions.

#i think in order for this to be satisfying i have to give grace and interiority to teenmian #i'm picturing an older teen like 18ish? maybe even early 20s?#big crush on csr he's already pretty sure isn't going to work out #but at least he'll always have wei-xiong #anyway this is my ploy to give jfm a chance at an ugly crying meltdown #he's trying so hard to be even keeled and like #maybe take this as an evil vision designed to teach him something #but somewhere in between my crush stole my man and then they died #my whole sect burned #my grown ass son who is older than me making the vibe sooooo weird #and my grandson! child of my dead???? daughter??????#is just like yeah he never talks about you. no never never #and then wwx blows into town and idk somehow they all end up at dinner together and jfm politely calls lqr a punk ass bitch in front of lwj #because what???? context clues suggest lqr has the fucking nerve to not like wei xiong's baby after All That #only for adult son with the weird vibes #to imply only filial piety is keeping him from naming the real #punk ass bitch #anyway this ends with jfm crying because clearly he marries yuanyuan and she HATES HIM and then his own son ALSO HATES HIM #and would rather stupid Lan-er-gongzi #be his dad.#if you like lqr so much why don't you just join the lan sect then?????#and that's how jc learns he didn't get it all from his mama #jc didn't mean it he was stressed! this isn't his dad it's an a-ling sized kid. but it's still stressful

You guys HAVE to stop putting punk on a pedestal

#punks are not uniquely kind they’re not uniquely non-bigoted you’ve just never been to a concert #also racists are in punk spaces! sexists are in punk spaces! the most violent homophobic shit can come from guys in battle vests #learn to recognize bigotry in your community and fight it #instead of pretending that since they’re ‘obviously not real punks’ you don’t have to care #punk is not a fucking political stance it’s a music genre and a subculture wearing big boots is not praxis

Moodboard for Amais Rena (he/they), lead singer of alt rock band Way Way Downers @infamous-if

Playlist

#catch them being like ‘what happened to the MUSIC???’ every time some reality tv show drama goes down lmfao #having them be a homewrecker by romancing mrs. valentine so we’ll see how that goes #but also after playing the demo i’ve fallen down the seven rabbit hole and i CANNOT get out omg #anyway personality facts ig:#they toe the line between confident and arrogant but ONLY when it comes the music #like he’d never call himself the best but they know that they’re a good singer and the band makes good music #so they don’t usually care to listen to criticisms that say otherwise #can be a little intense and takes things way too seriously somtimes #loves their bandmates to death so he was def put off a little by g in that one convo #is OBSESSED with doing the pop punk voice/accent much to the dismay of everyone around them. they think it’s the most hilarious thing ever #still feels really guilty abt what went down w seven so is just sorta… taking whatever they dish atp #okay at social interactions just veers more on the detatched polite side of things in interviews/w fans and other ppl they don’t know #which is veryy different from how they are on stage.#on stage they fully embody the music and let themselves do whatever feels right. no inhibitions. a complete release.#lover of tight pants and nice cuban heeled boots #is pretty responsible but has issues being told what to do prob stemming from the whole absent parent thing (srry orion)#can play piano but only the basics. only learned to help with the songwriting process.#if underground wastebasket has a million haters amais is one of them. if underground wastebasket has one hater they are that one.#if underground wastebasket has no haters that means amais is dead.#my mcs #if: infamous #mc: amais rena (infamous)#mb

multiple things

First off, how the fuck does shop lifting put shop employees in danger??

all my old fav youtubers coming back this fall has gotten me into a mood where I've been diving back into old bands I used to listen to religiously. and i gotta say ... they all still slap

#[static]#not that i ever stopped listening to them much but ive been playing the entire album instead of just listening to favorites #so many memories tied to certain albums fkjghdf #i dont miss being a teen/in my early 20s at all life was so much harder and confusing and it was the height of my worst mental health years #but the world did feel simpler #the punk and emo scene fucked HARD in the early 2000s and 2010s #i hope we see a revival (and i feel like ive been seeing some new artists that hit that nostalgia in the right way)#i have been genuinely feeling Older recently and not in a bad way. its just funny to be in an age bracket that is a minority where i work #ppl are either way to old to know what im talking about or where literal babies when i was in school #i had to explain what camp was at work the other day and also they had no idea what rocky horror picture show was and me and the -#other gay millennial at work were losing our minds that people in their 20s hadnt heard of rocky horror #politely losing our minds of course like ... who cares if people dont know or do the things we did as young queers but also it -#- definitely made us feel older!#theyve also been playing a station that has all the music from my middle school and high school years ....#you know you're getting old when theres now a store radio station for it LOL they never play anything current

Between his obsession with a symbol of Imperial Japan that’s commonly associated with their colonialism and atrocities during WWII & his uncritical use of a Nazi dogwhistle as a silly joke, I’m starting to think that Mr. Murdered-Fascists-Make-No-Noise former Leathermouth frontman might not be sincerely informed about WWII history or antifascist politics 🧐

#Fast forward to a few years from now he makes a thirst post about Mussolini to complete the axis 🙄#Soooo crazy when a celebrity pretends to have radical politics to look cool & punk without sincerely holding those believes.#totally never happens. and it’s so totally not deeply embarrassing to watch when show what an ignorant ass they are.#(I always get so much second hand cringe from posers like that -_-)#Like if you wanna be ignorant about politics go ahead that’s your business #but at very least be openly stupid about it and don’t *pretend* to be radical just for the Cool Edgy Guy aesthetic or whatever -_-

Reminder that you cannot have punk music and punk fashion without punk ideology behind it.

If you're bigoted and punk, you're not punk.

If you're transphobic or LGBT exclusive at all, you're not punk.

Punk is a demographic that only exists because some leftist losers decided making music about killing bigots and or capitalism would be awesome, don't forget their roots.

#punk #indie #punk is not dead #punk isnt dead just tired #punk roots #punk is never not political

right so i got my hair cut yesterday and mind you when im at uni my haircutting options are to get my one mate to do it (she's surprisingly good but can get very scissor happy) OR cut my own bangs in the sink with cuticle scissors at midnight while my automatic light turns off every five seconds. no that's not hyperspecifc what do you mean. anyway i got my hair cut yesterday and BY THE PROFESSIONAL HAIRDRESSER THAT DOES MY MUM AND SISTER'S HAIR. now this lady has been doing our hair for over a decade she's very chill she knows us very well i stress her out a lot bc every time i see her im like 'i want to [insert crazy hair idea here]' and she's like orrrr what if we didn't? BUT yesterday i was like i want my hair short again i hate that it's grown to touch my shoulders bc it curls weird. and what i was aiming for was literally just to replicate what my friend does for me back at uni where she just cuts it to my jaw and that's that nothing too complicated, BUT like i said this lady is a skilled professional AND she knows me in both a style sense and what she knows i'd like and in the sense of i really dont give a fuck about my hair so she knows she can have a lil fun with it, and basically long story short i have a wolf cut now

#it wasn't even on purpose i didn't actually realise what i was describing to her was a wolf cut until she was done #and i looked in the mirror like HEY THIS IS WHAT ALL THE HOT TIKTOK BISEXUALS HAVE #like you know how a wolf cut is a mix between a mullet and a shag cut? mine's like that except it's slightly more shag #until i push it behind my ears a lil in which case it's more mullet #im OBSESSED with it holy fuck #im gonna get styling stuff too bc i never normally do anything with my hair but this is something else #i look like a punk lesbian im obsessed #also my godmum is coming for tea soon and she's a butch lesbian so im hoping i get some sort of compliment from her #will keep you posted #mind i dont have much respect for her despite her being my Sole Female Queer Rep Irl because her politics are FUCKED #this woman voted brexit like okay babygirl set your own movement back then #but acknowledgement from the local butch is still acknowledgement from the local butch #and i am but a mere baby gay making grabby hands #fun fact i acc tried to get a shag cut from my uni friend but it was out of her skill level (obvs cause she's not trained lol)#BUT she's the super super innocent highly christian friend ive mentioned a couple times #and she very cheerfully went 'i love when you ask for a shag' and like. left it #and we just sat in silence while i waited for her to clock what she said and she just DIDNT #and i just said her name very slowly and went 'can you repeat that for me'#and she really loudly went 'OH MY GOD' it was so funny

The discourse in the last post led me to read extensively about the various punk ideologies and I want to take a moment for appreciating the section they decided to mention extensively my favourite band lol

#they always said to be neither left wing nor right wing but to be fair i never understood HOW considering *gestures vaguely at their music*#btw i've always known punk to be quite apolitical except for shock value in the beginning #the clash being more or less the first political band to make it big #but apparently not everyone agrees and i didn't find a definitive answer #personal

Always crazy when ppl say punk used 2 be political and "good" when some of the most popular punk bands like the ramones and the dead boys would parade around in nazi clothing and I'm not even getting into the pistols

#like just bc some bands like the clash were political doesnt mean punk is inherently political #its just a genre rly and while tje movement did do some good it was never perfect as some ppl seem 2 think it was #Anyways proto punk >>>>>>>>>>>> punk

You know what we should do? Commit war crimes and fix this world. We should cause mutually assured destruction. Also? Period cramps need to not kill me in school. I want to function and not have the urge to commit murders or arson. Everyone on tumblr should start a militia and overthrow all the governments and watch nature take this earth back from us dumb people. TIME TO DO SOME WITCHY SHIT

me: I should listen to bad cop/bad cop on my lunch break, that'll be fun

me, twenty minutes later: *crying over brain is for lovers*

#they're a punk band and most of their stuff is upbeat and/or political #and the song doesn't sound sad!!!#and then you listen to the lyrics #childhood best friends grew up and grew apart and one of them committed suicide #and the singer is lamenting how she didn't notice and she should have called #and thinjs about her friend everyday #''I say your name and no on understands/how can that be true?/#you're so essential to me growing up it's like we never parted/no me without a you'' gets me every damn time
