any pictures of your completed/almost completed jackets/vests?

YEAH

I don't feel like explaining every single polish patch so if you have questions just ask

My Crust Pants

Made out of worker pants, so they have 10 pockets. I am seen wearing them whenever its colder than 25'C which is unfortunately rarely these days

My Default Battle Jacket

Made out of a cropped denim shirt bc finding a denim jacket in a polish thrift store is downright impossible, but this way its lighter so it worked out in the end

The Poser Jacket

It's not finished as I need to add the decorative stitching to most of the patches (they're basted in with a sewing machine bc i wanted to make the jacket wearable asap). It's designed to be more functional than my default jacket as it's compatible with a backpack and is overall lighter

My Custom Hand Made Platforms

I'm super proud of these, I made them out of demonia knock-offs i got off a friend which were knee high, too hot and too narrow for me, so I cut them down to be mid-ankle which makes my legs look longer, sewed down the zipper, added spikes to the bottom bands and studs to the top ones (as spikes on the top would interfere with long pants) and a chain on the side. Bc they're knockoffs they're super light and insanely comfortable, I've easly walked 200km in them combined

One red, one black normally laced shoelace means just general punk in local lace code. I wanted to have ladder laced light blue shoelaces (code for gay man in central and eastern europe) but i just fucking hate having ladder laced shoes, they just are never tight enough and it's awful

Ive ran out of photo space but lemme know if you want to see my backpack

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN

I knew that the second I saw Hobie Brown get popular again (who is a great character 10/10 don't get me wrong) I'd also start seeing a ton of clowns start saying shit like "Taylor swift is punk actually" and "you don't have to listen to punk music to be punk" and "I love the punk aesthetic but hate the music"

THE CULMINATION OF THIS????

Someone asked me if my battle vest (which I've been working on for years atp) was part of a hobie brown cosplay.

Anyways here are some things about the punk subculture that y'all need to know:

-It is a MUSIC-BASED SUBCULTURE. If you aren't listening to punk music then buddy you ain't punk. Idc what band(s) you listen to but like. That's where the punk culture started man. Do some research.

-punk is secondarily about values. This is why you have Nazis in the punk community alongside hardcore anarchists. Since it's music first, and values second, there's a lot of different mindsets. Primarily it is about being anti-authority. That's what most punk music is about tbh but Nazis are just stupid and will do some fantastic mental gymnastics to make punk music fit their agenda. There's a song called "fuck off Nazi punks" for a reason

-you don't have to "look punk" to be punk.

-you can "look punk" but not be punk (we call these people posers)

Punk as a subculture has a long and rich history. A huge part of it (that often gets ignored) is from small pockets of black people in the UK that were rebelling against systemic racism. A lot of it (meaning the music) is based in revolution, disrespect of authority, and going against the mainstream. That's where a lot of the fashion comes from too. Handmade, shitty d.i.y stuff, stolen stuff, cheap stuff, all of these things are punk fashion because that goes against the mainstream ideal of consumerism and because the founding movements behind it were rooted in lower class struggles against the bourgeoisie. You don't see many genuine billionaire punks. We are not here to look pretty, we are here to smell bad and break shit. And listen to fucking sickass music

Bring back posers as a term please I'm begging if ONE MORE GODDAMN 16 YEAR OLD ASKS WHERE I BOUGHT MY CLOTHES I'M GONNA LOSE. MY FUCKING. MIND.

I HAVEN'T PAID FOR SHIT SINCE 2020 BITCH THESE SPIKES ARE THE BROKEN OFF TINES OF A FORK THE THREAD IS DENTAL FLOSS FROM A PAIR OF JEANS I TOOK APART TO USE THE DENIM TO MAKE PATCHES YEAH NO SHIT I SMELL LIKE SILVER SPRAY PAINT. I'VE HAD THE SAME PAIR OF COMBAT BOOTS FOR SIX FUCKIN YEARS NOW. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LAYERS OF PAINT AND NAIL POLISH ARE ON THEM. MY WHEELCHAIR GLOVES ARE MORE THREAD THAN LEATHER ATP BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK. THEY'RE STILL FUNCTIONAL.

"but all I can afford is clothes from SheIn and Amazon and I wanna have the punk style"

BITCH STEAL THE CLOTHES. GO TO GOODWILL. YOU KNOW WHAT WE CALL HAVING THE "STYLE" IS BUT NOT THE MINDSET???

A FUCKING POSER

And no I'm not gatekeeping. Anyone anywhere can be punk. BUT BUYING A PRE-PATCHED DENIM JACKET ON AMAZON DOES NOT A PUNK MAKE. BURN YOUR OWN CD'S, PIRATE MOVIES, GO TO PROTESTS, MAKE POSITIVE CHANGE, FORM COMMUNITY IN SOLIDARITY AGAINST OPPRESSIVE SYSTEMS. KILL THE NAZIS INFECTING PUNK COMMUNITIES LIKE A ROTTING BRANCH GETS CUT FROM THE TREE

WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING RAGE??? WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING WEIRDNESS??? WHERE'S YOUR REFUSAL TO FIT INTO THE MAIN STREAM???? WHERE'S YOUR OBSESSION WITH A SKA PUNK BAND FROM THE EARLY 2000'S?!

I saw a TikTok of a person who said they were punk but then proceeded to go on a tirade about not liking the bus because gross homeless people ride the bus

HOW DOES THE BOOT TASTE MOTHERFUCKER

I have watched COLUMBO with my grandpa so many times when I was a kid and I never knew Lieutenant Columbo's first name was Frank! Frank Columbo! Frank!

Let's get our priorities straight.

[heck-exe]

You: Setting punk as a main genre

Me: -opening spotify to educate myself- I'll get a good grade in Through the Motions, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve

For real tho, do you have any recomendations? I'm not familiar with punk at all

Alright, let's do this.

So first up there's a lot and I suggest just going onto their spotify and choosing a song at random.

artists marked with a * tend to be involved in more genres

Punk Rock/Punk:

Everyone knows these. Sometimes these guys are considered heavy-punk, depends on the song.

The Clash Ramones Fugazi Dead Kennedys Twin Nova* Pleasure Venom Against Me!* The Smith Street Band* Joyce Manor PUP Batpiss

Folk Punk//anti-folk punk:

A lot of the time folk bands also make anti-folk music due to the content they sing about.

Ramshackle Glory AJJ Mischief Brew* The Uncluded Days N' Daze

Garage/Indie Punk:

The indie punk genre

Sprints FIDLAR Pretty Vicious Radkey* Jeff Rosenstock* Cursive

Fun Genres

The World/Inferno Friendship Society - punk/dark carbaret Guignol - swing punk and a few others The Aquabats - it's complicated... there's ska.

Anxley

I've been listening to the Howl's Moving Castle main theme and there has been this guy in the comments named Anxley. Apparently, he's been documenting his life in the comments of this video. Today was the 365th day, and I thought you guys might want to see this.

Bitches will be like "Yeah you can trust this site" then have this as one of the things you can buy

*jerry seinfeld voice* You know one of the things that I hate about racists? They never come up with anything original. Swastika? Stolen. Okay hand sign? Stolen. Pepe the frog? Stolen. Even the n-word was stolen. Name one thing that a racist person made that was original.

I tried the slowfast emotion

It feels like my brain is trying to figure out what kind of emotion it’s trying to have:

Lay on the floor

Do drugs
