I think the only way to survive as a punk on this website at this point is to choose to view the constant flanderization and misinterpretation of our existence as funny. Tumblr changed for me the moment I stopped being stressed out by it and started laughing at it instead.

Like these people seriously think the most punk thing you can do is shopping at small businesses, voting, and telling their teacher when their friends are underage drinking? Crust punk is a "style" where you wear colorful bug pins and listen to exclusively folk punk. Is that not hilarious to you

“Libraries are punk”. Punk is a music based subculture with anarchist leanings. Ain’t no library playing disclose and selling red stripes for two quid

What you can do instead is look into anarchic structures of library economies if u wanna get into the politics of anarchism

I think the most annoying thing about how punk is talked about on this website is the bastardization of DIY. When people are talking about DIY in punk, they’re talking about forming their own bands, organizing their own shows, creating their own venues, booking their own tours, recording their own music, building their own labels, making their own merch, doing more than I care to write here. They did this out of necessity, because no one in the industry wanted them, and later out of a refusal to engage with the world of the extortionist, exploitative, abusive world of corporate rock.

On Tumblr, though, punk DIY is about arts and crafts, making charm bracelets out of garbage, and painting the shittiest patches you’ve ever seen with the corniest, most played out slogans you can think of. There’s nothing wrong with that, but outside of this website, that’s not what DIY in punk means.

A good starting place for looking at solar punk as more than an aesthetic but a form of praxis and anarchism
