RACIAL HATRED RAISED IN YOUTH PATIOTISM IS NO EXUSE NAZI DIE 

[mortalityplays]

the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.

[mortalityplays]

this isn't snobby gatekeeping or imaginary semantic problems or whatever, this is an issue that has come up irl at cons and zine fairs local to me and which keeps coming up online. people who show up to trade fairs selling professionally printed $15 anthologies as 'zines' have a direct impact on the people trying to sell their $3 chapbooks at the next table over. submission based kickstarter projects that bill themselves as 'zines' exploit the connotations of amateur, punk production values to induce creators to work for less and eschew formal guarantees and protections they are entitled to.

Added this backpatch to my vest. I made this patch by myself using a stencil and paint.

If you really were punk, you'd forage through your town and dumpster dive instead of buy those $300 "crust shorts" from Amazon.

I'm sorry but you do very much need to listen to punk to be punk. it is literally a music based subculture. punk as we understand it today would NOT exist without this expansive music history. "having the values" w/o listening to punk just makes u an anarchist. take inspo from the subculture if u wanna idc but don't go calling yourself punk when none of the music you listen to is even remotely close. it's like calling urself a metalhead when u don't even like metal.

Because gatekeeping is punk AF, right?

[get-punked]

oh my god this isn't fucking gatekeeping it's the bare fucking minimum to listen to the music of a music based subculture if you want to be part of it. stop being a weenie

[scandlnavlan-jawbreaker-deactiv]

if this post is gatekeeping and punk is about values,

can you explain why all of the people who say punk is the 'values' often wear patches of bands like leftover crack which has a known abuser in it

if punk is only the 'values' and not about the music then can you explain why there's a negative association with the word 'skinhead' and why kids feel the need to bring back lacecode

if punk is only the 'values' and not about the music then can you explain the information on this wikipedia page

if punk is only the 'values' and not about the music then can you explain why the song is called 'nazi punks fuck off' and not 'punk is values'

i'll wait

Enter panoptic nightmare:  Freedom ignored; hopes of privacy abandoned. Jeremy--your visions have been realized.  Samuel--the world is now a prison.  An omniscient presence permeates all.  The cold gaze of our superiors spies on us from cyclopean eyes, eavesdropping from a universe away.  All our movements are tracked and recorded.  Blackest night no longer conceals.  Emphasize normalization and observation producing only social fragmentation.  Bureaucrats cling to their paperwork and technocrats cling to their data.  Certificates authenticate life.   Individuals defined in nine digits.  Transparent society: This is not the answer.  Secrets must be exchanged.  Intimacy demands haven.  But in the light of days nothing is sacred.

I'm sorry but if you can't even think of anything cooler than "trans punx smash the cis-tem" to make into a shitty patch for your garish tasteless tumblr-punk "battle jacket" I'm not going to take you very seriously!!

[witchgrindergeneral]

Broke: "trans punx smash the cistem!"

All the vests and patch pants etc on the trans punk tag on here are made by some of the most swagless people I’ve ever seen. Please don’t make a punk vest if you have apparently never even seen one before @_@ we need more gatekeeping tbh.
