Considering Punk to be freedom, creativity, individuality, it's really hard to say someone is actually a "punk". The same way, it's hard to hear someone saying "Im a punk". Punks shouldnt be all "Mohawks" and stuff, since they start to get similar. The way I understand Punk's ideolody, Punk is not dressing what you want, is not saying what you want... whatever. Punk is doing everything you want, not impairing the others. Well, but it's my understanding about Punk culture. I think many of the other definitions are either poser or irrational Punk is very subjective, in my opinion.

I'm not a vegan, it's just a choice I haven't made. I have very strong morals and political stances and yeah, I do smell bad but it pisses the fuck out of me when I see these kids who call themselves crusty. There like, well, I'm not showering, I think I'll call my self a crusty. I'm not trying to force my oppinion on anyone but, punk is not all what you look like or smell like, it's music beliefs and being part of the scene. maybe that's just me. I am a crusty and proud.

Tue, 09 Nov 2004 14:39:37 +0000 http://localhost/wp_culture/?p=1173#comment-7881 Ok, look, all of you are missing out on the point. The anthropologist himself even admitted he didn't know what he was getting himself into. Punk is not a way of life. It isn't the way you dress, the way your personal cleaning methods are, it isn't about trying to look tough, or talk a lot of crap. It was originally about the music. Some of it was shit, but at least it was real. No subculture is real now, save for metal, punk's tougher more depressed brother. And, still people still try to rape that subculture even. That is exactly what it is, my friends, RAPE. Punk is raped, metal is raped, rock is raped, goth is raped. Raped by people who want to be "different" and claim the way they look is the way they are. The truth is, subcultures have become lies people hide behind. The real subcultures don't exist anymore, except for the real punks, goths, metal, and rock n' rollers. And one doesn't see them out on the street with a huge black sign saying "look at me please! Aren't I tough" look, you may hate what i say all you want. But this is the truth as I see it. I don't know what you think. I don't care, either. This is the way the world works, it corrupts, ruins and rapes. Nothing is real, so don't believe what you see or hear. Don't even believe this paragraph. Go out into the streets, the world. See it how it really is. Ok, look, all of you are missing out on the point.

I used to be a crusty, and i know what the fuck its about. i hate how these kids now and days pretend to be something they're not and not know SHIT about what they're claiming to be. I HATE IT!!!!!!
