bad punk takes of tumblr

i've decided to start gatekeeping

[trinket-the-cat]

[tumblr]

Well, this calls for a toast: to Punk and Emo 🤘

the genres we turn to when feeling our deepest vulnerabilities; when times are a little too tough and screaming into our pillow just isn’t doing it anymore. for the anti-establishment crowd, the dreamers who never stop rebelling. these are some of the punk and emo artists tumblr users turn to for emotional confession 🖤

the present compulsion to sort basically any woman-directed punk band into riot grrrl strikes me as regressive for the same reasons gender segregation always is. it's pretty clearly being done by people who don't understand how absolutely integral women have always been to punk rock and it's becoming corrupt into a term that means "punk rock for girls"

[girldick-conniseur-revengance]

its #punk rock to punch holes in your wall. its NOT punk to repair them

[girldick-conniseur-revengance]

you re #punk rock baby!

If I met somebody who ever in any way identified with the phrase "softpunk" I would shoot them in the head with a ramset nail gun the moment they turn their back on me

Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.

[auroras-void]

that's.. this seems to not understand why public libraries are punk??

Punk evolved out of anarchist and far left politics, and is in equal parts an ideology as it is a subculture, libraries are punk because libraries are socialist, it's free access to reading to the general public.

And what if rap WAS only about sex, violence, and drugs... what then? Would you be justified in looking down upon it as not being "real" art? What would your justification be? Sex is immoral and taboo? Drugs should never be mentioned outside of D.A.R.E programs? Songs about violence turn children to it? Would you turn that standard to other genres as well? I know you wouldn't, I know you haven't, because it's never really been about the topics explored.

rap is often about politics and punk is often about sex and drugs but tumblr users wouldn't know because they listen to neither

Brushing up on my punk knowledge from wikihow so I don't look like a poser online.

Also, new Sex Prisoner is finally on Bandcamp. Wanted to post this yesterday but it was only up on streaming and I don't like to post streaming links if I can avoid it.

Wake up punk rockers we are getting new Totalitär in the big 26. D-beat prevails once again.

Most punk music these days is so commodified that it can't really be called punk. That's why real punks (like me) only listen to indie music like femtanyl and the Undertale soundtrack.
