GEN-X IN THE HOUSE.... I love and h*te the interwebs. As beautiful and informative it can be.......... IT'S THE LIE!!! The world, when you get in their face, is truly on a dimension that People don't have access to anymore. My world is >>>>> CRAZY 4 REAL. Here is a bit of my lore

To alleviate any confusion, here’s an extremely solid description of what Punk is.

Discussion

Punk is not just a style or a musical genre—it’s a whole culture. At its core, punk is working-class, left-leaning, and rooted in an art-based ethos. It’s a movement that embraces all the facets that come with being a true culture—history, art, fashions, music, literature, philosophies, social customs, and ideologies. Punk has its own set of values, a mosaic of ideas that have been forged over decades, and while not everyone agrees on everything, there are some key threads that run through it.

First and foremost, punk is anti-authoritarian and fiercely anti-fascist. It rejects oppressive systems, whether they be political, social, or cultural. Punk fights against any form of control or oppression that stifles freedom, individuality, and expression. The punk ethos is one of resistance: resisting systems that force conformity, resisting censorship, and resisting the status quo.

Punk is pro-vulgarity, pro-noise, and pro-expression—even if that expression is jarring or controversial. It’s about saying the things you’re not supposed to say, rejecting polite, sanitized versions of reality. Punk is not about being agreeable; it’s about being honest, loud, and real, even if that means offending people along the way. It’s the rawness of unfiltered thought and emotion, the kind of speech that doesn’t fit neatly into society’s comfortable boxes. This freedom of expression is a key part of what makes punk a living, breathing culture.

It’s utilitarian and working class, in the sense that punk values practical, direct action and rejects elitism. It’s not about luxury or convenience, but about making do with what you have and standing up for the people who get the least attention in society—the underdogs, the outsiders, the marginalized. Punk speaks to the reality of living in a world that often doesn’t care about the struggles of ordinary people, and it gives voice to those who are often unheard.

Punk is also a culture of DIY (Do It Yourself). It’s about creating your own music, your own art, your own fashion, your own rules. It’s about taking control of your own narrative, and rejecting the idea that only the mainstream or the commercially sanctioned can create culture. Punk has always been about making things happen yourself, even when you don’t have a budget, even when you don’t have the resources. It’s about self-reliance and independence.

Punk is a culture that challenges and deconstructs traditional notions of beauty, success, and normalcy. It embraces imperfection, messiness, and the beauty of chaos. It’s not about fitting in; it’s about standing out, questioning everything, and always pushing forward.

It’s a culture of ideas—of radical, critical thinking that doesn’t accept things as they are just because they’ve always been that way. Punk engages with philosophy, politics, and social issues, but does so in a way that’s accessible, that doesn’t demand you have a degree or a specific set of credentials to participate. It’s about community, dialogue, and the shared goal of challenging injustice in all its forms.

Ultimately, punk is a celebration of freedom—freedom to think, to express, to live, and to be exactly who you are without apology. It’s messy, loud, and at times uncomfortable, but it’s never boring. It’s a culture of rebellion, yes, but also one of creativity, solidarity, and a refusal to bow down to anything that tries to silence or oppress. It’s an ongoing conversation that refuses to be neatly categorized or defined. Punk isn’t just something you can put on or take off—it’s a mindset, a lifestyle, and a movement that continues to evolve as long as there are people willing to fight for a different world.

Punk is incompatible with the majority of modern right wing ideas, and therefore, cannot be inclusive of them.

Homophobia, racism, capitalism, right or left wing authoritarianism…. Aren’t what the culture of punk has built itself to be.

UPDATE 2

Punk is also very fun… it’s not all doom and gloom and political rants.

It’s also a great time at a shitty house show.

UPDATE 3

Old heads..… don’t harass younger punks who enjoy the aesthetics and fashion of punk… y’know… the aesthetics and fashions that YOUR generation created?

shonabmx: These precious memories…. It’s so hard to describe in words, this magical journey I’ve been on with @222aghoststory I’ve had so much fun, so many laughs, tears, made long life friends and memories, sang, drank and ate merrily! In Ireland, my favourite place! I’ve learnt a lot and challenged myself along the way too! It’s been an absolute honour and a privilege to have spent over 8 incredible weeks, (excluding rehearsals) with the most wonderful, talented, and gorgeous friends. All the crew, that never get enough bloody credit. Your all so hard working, beautiful people, who without, the show would fall apart. Thank you! Anna, Dave, Harriet, Steph, Ronan, Stella-(costume) Robyn, and Isabelle - who have been just awesome to work with. Thank you so much for casting me as Jenny! It was such a ride! If you need a “Lauren” in the next one, call me! 😜 xx I will never forget this experience we all went through! Thank you all so much. May Our paths may cross again. Love you all with all me fecking heart! 💚#IVEGOTYOURBACK@thewhitmore @birdspotting @colinodonoghue1 @raques_mozz @aarondartmunro94 @msrobyngrant

This has been a tough few weeks. With the loss of RayRay and the struggles with Big Joe, the mental exhaustion has been very real. So when I woke up to this in the middle of the night, it gave the heart what it needed. I thought you, too might need a feel good moment, so I’m passing it along for you to relish. Always remember that someone out there has your back, ready to wrap their arms around you and snuggle in a bundle of blankies so that you’ll be safe and warm. #matildamay #spooning #ivegotyourback https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJfxA6jDbh/?utm_medium=tumblr

#flashbackfriday to my 15th birthday when I received this #antismoking shirt. ⠀
⠀
My teenage self was intensely opposed to cigarettes. You would catch me at bus stops coughing violently whilst gesturing at the #nosmoking signs. I even refused to date a real cutie because they smoked and when they said they’d quit for me I said “No. You can only quit for yourself.”⠀
⠀
I have toned down my vehemence quite a bit over the years, but as a clinical hypnotherapist, it pleases me greatly to help people quit smoking. That little 15 year old me would think that’s the coolest flipping thing. ⠀
⠀
Holler at me if you’d like help kicking that habit. Because as 15 year old me used to say all the time #therearecoolerwaystodie ⠀
