i think one of my toxic traits regarding music is that i so WANT to be into the older og punk bands but like all the really big ones that people always recommend have such a fucking lame and slow sound. like wow this is just slightly edgier rock. thanks.

I think what I miss most about AH’s Minecraft series is the way they interacted with the game. Especially now, it seems like creators have limited options when coming up with ideas for content around the game, defaulting to hardcore challenges or multiplayer server stuff, which isn’t a bad thing but it does seem like a lot of the videos in the Minecraft space fall into similar categories.

Even during the heyday of minigame servers and 50-player survival games and what have you, AH just did their own thing. Made their own games, had their own short-form series, and only in the latter half of their let’s play even engaged with Java and mods and stuff. This doesn’t even account for their general format of engaging with the game, which speaks to their proto-MCYT status. Everyone in the group played for the group in one way or another, everyone in the same room or call, doing generally the same thing or working towards the same goal. Unlike modern MCYT as we know it, with servers and formats aimed at players doing their own thing and on the occasion collaborating, AH fit a perfect niche by both operating as a group and finding short-term ways of playing Minecraft.

And I miss it.

i'll give them joey ramone but this is just gender conforming man, gender conforming man, gender conforming man, gender conforming man, gender conforming man, and gender conforming man (violent homophobe edition)

maybe i just dont get the joke but i dont see any reason to celebrate gender conforming men for how they present themselves. theyre not breaking any boundaries, theyre being exactly what society expects them to be. we really gotta stop this nonsense of trying to woke-ify 80s hardcore as if it wasnt one of the most hostile eras of punk for gay ppl, women, and gnc ppl aka the ppl who used to be at the forefront of punk culture back in the 70s before being forced out by macho losers

so anyway heres some gender non-conforming punk men who spent their careers hanging out with gay ppl and women and arent macho losers! if 'punk men are your favorite gender' then these are the lads you should be celebrating

adam ant of adam & the ants

stuart goddard, better known by his stage name adam ant, was one of the first ever punks in london. he often wore skirts and unique makeup

david johansen of the new york dolls

david johansen was the frontman of one of the most important proto-punk acts. he was well known for crossdressing both on and off stage

all of the new york dolls could go on this list due to all of them being crossdressers but i wanted to highlight david specifically bc hes my favorite member

dave vanian of the damned

tho not as pronounced as the previous ppl on this list, david 'dave' vanian's distinctive style of makeup set him apart during a time before goth

philip sallon

a member of the infamous bromley contingent, a group of gay men and women who followed around the sex pistols, philip sallon is one of the original punk dandies

tho not all of these men were queer (only philip sallon has labeled himself as such) they were all targeted by homophobes and transmisogynists for daring to express themselves in ways that didnt align with how ppl believed men should present. the extreme hatred towards punk in the 70s, primarily british punk, was in part bc of this bigotry. the machoness of 80s hardcore is inherently against what made punk so special in the first place

[velvetvexations]

The radfem idea that masculinity/manhood is inherently about dominance violence and misogyny is so frustrating for many reasons, but I feel especially sorry for men and mascs, especially trans people, who buy into it cause it must be a miserable life. I once was reading an anthology on the academic study of masculinities and one of them had the thesis of "it is impossible to create a soft, harmless manhood because the entire concept of men and masculinity has a core basis in domination and misogyny" and my bullshit sensors started pinging and I looked up the author and it was a cis dude and most of his academic research was on the dangers of porn (swerf core) and it's like,,, how do you live? As a man? Believing that your identity and sense of self is just inescapably soaked in violence and harm to others? It sounds like a mental health nightmare. It's toxic masculinity in a hat and sunglasses. It's the same guilty martyrdom that like vampires get written with in some vampire stories as if all men are monsters so they need to hate themselves and self flagellate yo be worth anything. I wish all radfem men and mascs a very get well soon.

Like women and feminine people (generalization but y'know) who believe this stuff it's like clearly am unhealthy coping mechanism and proto us vs them ism, but like at least in most cases it doesn't instill a deep sense of self hatred. It's sad

This is what ate Tatsuya Ishida's brain from the inside out. His guilt over a porn addiction destroyed him, sent him down hardcore radical feminism, and now he's making comics about how the gay agenda is a Jewish plot to destroy White people.

Seriously. Radical feminism teaches women to turn themselves into weapons against anyone who could ever possibly hurt them, but when you internalize being the problem? That's not healthy on a whole 'nother level. That's a demon in the pit of your soul and you need an exorcism as fast as possible.

The Oral History Of Die Kreuzen Gets Released This August Via Feral House

In the industrial shadows of early-’80s Milwaukee, a band emerged from the wreckage of Midwest punk and Rust Belt disaffection with a sound that was as brutal as it was visionary. Die Kreuzen didn’t just blur genre lines—they detonated them, fusing blistering hardcore with metallic urgency and whispers of 4AD melodic noise to forge a blueprint that countless others would follow. Were they punk?…

[rockandroar]

maybe a strange question but in your post introducing steel stampede you said that heavy metal originates from and belongs to animals with horns. does that mean punk is that way but for cats? all the punks we meet in the comic (so far) are cats after all

I love this question, thank you for asking!

The short answer is yes, what we now know as punk was originated by cats, and it developed in largely two places - New York City and London in the mid 70s. "Proto-punk" artists that preceded this movement and inspired what would later become punk, were animals of a few different species; but it was street cats, with their independent streak, who turned out to be the fierce non-conformists that rock music needed at that time, and who took those earlier ideas and created a whole new movement in music and culture.

By nature, alley cats tend to gather in large groups. It was then easy in this environment for musicians to share music and political ideas amongst each other and a whole new genre and subculture grew out of that. These cats were also very territorial, so in many pockets within the punk scene, outsiders weren't warmly welcomed. This is what has happened in the music scene that Miles is a part of, and why it's made up exclusively of cats who've claimed those alleys as theirs.

But as punk rock grew in popularity and spread across the globe, it began to draw crowds of all kinds of animals. By the time punk grew into the Hardcore movement, canines were just as numerous as felines in the scene. Punk gave way to many other genres - such as Gothic Rock and New Wave - and each had different kinds of animals within the bands that represented each of those genres. We'll be meeting some of them throughout the story.

All of this will be elaborated on in the Rock & Roar Wiki, which is currently in progress!

eugene's canonically being a metalhead is so important to me.... i'd like to think his grandma was a metalhead in the mid-70s-80s and kept her record collection & music taste as she aged and introduced eugene to it all. i think he really does enjoy all metal. like all the way from proto-metal & hard rock to NWOBHIM to UK nu metal even.... he would dabble in some hardcore punk. he's not an elitist. as long as it's british
