"It's as lazy as it gets, and definitely not punk."
Reading is not very punk, though arguing what punk is is definitely punk.
- Loughla 5y agoI would argue that reading, today, absolutely is punk. When the main-stream is delivered at a sixth grade level, in 15 second sound bites with talking heads or funny dances behind it. . . what is more punk that being extraordinarily well-read?
- TremendousJudge 5y ago>what is more punk that being extraordinarily well-read Having recently been to several punk rock shows (read: damp basement noise fests), I'd say: having a blue collar job, being against "the system", doing copious amounts of cocaine and speed on their time off, and having their entire body blasted with tattoos such as a hand flipping you off, a trash can overflowing with garbage, and many insults. I thought this particular kind of people didn't exist anymore, but no, they're still alive and moshing in the basements of most cities.
- porbelm 5y agoThat's just a mainstream punk aesthetic though A blue collar person with tattoos that is also WELL READ instead of JUST moshing though? That's punk.
