What are your thoughts on gothic architecture?

It looks sick as fuck!!!

'Skater boy' becoming shorthand for 'punk male character' is so foul because black punk men and male afropunks were the biggest contributors and definers of punk subculture alongside black punk women and female afropunks when it was first created and it continues to be true to this day but some swagless white girl makes mid music for normies trying to feel rebellious without the politics or even doing actual weird shit and creates an aesthetic that looks like her mom dressed her and suddenly black guys can't be punk according to fandomites.And Sk8er Boi isn't even Ska......Y'all making those 'he was a punk,she did ballet' jokes with Hobie Brown and his girl should be in captivity

A piece of media:This character is punk so they listen to punk rock music.They're totally punk rock.The punkest rocker ever

Normies who got all their info on punk culture from amvs and sexist 2000s movies/shows:They listen to pop punk!!Real punk shit like Avril and Fall Out Boy!What's a black person?

[punkeropercyjackson]

is Avril Lavigne actually a bad person 😭 what'd she do

Not a bad person but her being considered a punk queen despite her apolitical and very gendered straight music while black punk artists have to fight tooth and nail to be taken seriously and never blow up like she did is peak white privilege.Also Sk8er Boi did irreperable damage to the Percy Jackson and Hobie Brown x Gwen Stacy ecosystems and i'm assuming the Jinx/Powder x Ekko ecosystem too.She's Taylor Swift for people who aren't racist but still annoying and basic as hell.And her aesthetic is ugly

Thoughts on punk lolita fashion?

I dig it!!!Feels very Ty Lee-coded haha

I like Older Brother Core but i'll be honest,i feel like it becoming seen as the quissisential of punk characters is a result of the whitewashing punk culture in media,in this case in the 2000s specifically.Like why is your idea of 'the ultimate punks' white boys who're mean to younger people with an emphasis on their own siblings rather than black/queer women activists and especially black queer women activists when historically they were the backbone of punk when it was being created........and why do you treat punk like it's inherently masculine when most punk men present femininely at least in mix with masculinity if not just are straight up femmes and when there's a whole punk subtype exclusively for lesbians with a subtype within itself exclusively for black lesbians

also how did you realise you were punk?

And do you believe in anarchy?

Once again you are super cool.

Punk is less so what you 'are' and moreso what you 'do' i.e it's a culture based on action and beliefs so since the anti-establishment,anti-capitalist,pro-intersectionality,etc mindset of punk already applied to me and therefore appealed to me,i decided to go punk!!I fell into the lies about punks by normies like the depoliticalization and white masculinazation/whitewashing of the aesthetics so i thought it wasn't for me until my friend @floof-ghostie helped me learn about the legit culture with their postings of it which lead to me researching itself myself and the add-ons of me discovering i'm a therian and not just xenogender and autistic/audhd and not just adhd and the complex nature of my gender unconvering certainly boosted me towards it and my decision was finalized when i found out about pastel punk and choose that as my punk subtype.I also came to realize i perfer actual punk music over the 'iconic' white 2000s punk musicians with no politics or specific messages in their sound and diy and secondhand things to anything expensive!!

And yes,i'm an anarchist and lowkey have been since i was a kid!The classic 'minority kid with no friends because they're so different from everyone else and cares about standing up for what's right,including shitty classmates and adults,to the point of isolation and gets violent and angry when mistreated and does weird things all the time' is what i had going on and i don't doubt i would've identified as an anarchist back then too if i knew the word and it's meaning.And once again,you are so SO SOOO cool too♡♡♡

on the “mcr isn’t emo” vein— i can’t think of a single band that’s considered to be like quintessential emo that isn’t just like a punk band that’s been mislabelled, like mcr checks all the fucking boxes for punk, i fear that emo is a genre that exists solely to contain punk bands that don’t quite fit the mainstream expectations of what punk sounds/looks/is like but also i am far from being an expert in either genre musically so gotta stress that it’s just my own personal thoughts/opinion

NO EXACTLY.MCR IS SO CLEARLY PUNK WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT PUNK IS AND SO'RE PARAMORE,SIMPLE PLAN,BREAKING BENJAMIN,BLINK 182,GREEN DAY AND SO MANY OTHER SUPPOSEDLY 'EMO' PUNK BANDS.EMO IS AN ACTUAL GENRE NOT JUST EDGY MUSIC OH MY GODDDDDDDDD

[punkeropercyjackson]

Aside from the drums and the guitar, what kind of instruments do you associate with punk bands?

Other than those two,keytars-But like the tricked out kinds ykwim?

[punkeropercyjackson]

'Characters but punk' designs are just 'punk is just an aesthetic!!!!' without saying it and i can't believe i'm still forced to see y'all's white suburbinate Hobie Brown redesign ahh fanarts in almost 2025.Name a black character

Normies seeing a punk character who is distinctively a punk subtype no matter what it is:

Normies seeing a character who is explicitly goth or even just alt in general:
