Walking with a Walkman

Of the many things well-worth toting around wherever we go is music—an intuitive excuse for a me time, just don’t walk distracted along busy streets where there is a likelihood of you getting mashed, other than that enjoy it in safe space and you will be just fine. Thank heavens for technology people of today can carry an endless playlist of songs of any genre on their phone without compromising…

are you worried about being perceived as a poser in your local punk scene? My biggest tip is to not shove yourself into the little box of what you think a punk should be. The culture of punk should be diverse, that’s what makes it beautiful. You want to go to a show wearing all pink and cute dresses? fucking go for it!!! rock it! if anyone says anything to you about “not being punk enough” they are full of bullshit and are definitely projecting their insecurities onto you.

R.I.P., West! He deserves some credit. Honorary member in my opinion. Co-wrote one of the best GNR and RNR songs ever.

so you’re finally going to your first punk show. it can be a little intimating for sure! here is what i tell my newbie friends when i take them to their first show:

1. take it at your own pace. start the show at the back of the crowd, if you’re vibing and feel the need to jump around get closer to the mosh

2. the mosh is a lot less scary than it looks. it really is a bunch of people just wanting to move around. There are times where it can get violent. if you feel overwhelmed at all just push (don’t feel bad, you might even need to shove a little, nobody will care) your way through the crowd that is encircling the mosh.

3. if you see someone on the ground in a mosh, PICK THEM UP!!!! not only to keep them safe but for your own safety as well, moshing can get a little disorienting (especially if you are drinking or smoking) so you might not even see them. along with this if you see someone’s personal item, try your best to pick it up and hold it in the air. Essentially, if something or someone could get damaged, help them out.

4. a lot of the people there look really intimidating and cool. yes they are cool as fuck, but they are some of the nicest people on this earth right now. Talk to a stranger. some of the kindest people i’ve met and become friends with i met at shows.

5. don’t be afraid to be yourself. don’t feel like you match the “punk aesthetic” you see on tumblr tiktok and pinterest? who give a fuck!! the most punk think you can do is be yourself. if you fake who you are people will notice.

"Ghostbusters" is a song written by American musician Ray Parker Jr. as the theme to the 1984 film Ghostbusters, and included on its soundtrack. Debuting at #68 when the movie was released, the single slowly climbed the Billboard Hot 100 for nearly four months, finally peaking at #1 and staying there for three weeks.

Parker was approached by the film's producers to create a theme song, although he only had a few days to do so and the movie's title seemed impossible to include in any lyrics. However, when watching television late at night, Parker saw a cheap ad for a local service that reminded him that the film had a similar commercial featured for the fictional business of "The Ghostbusters".  This inspired him to write the song as an advertising jingle that "the Ghostbusters might have commissioned as a promotion".

The music video was directed by Ivan Reitman (who also directed the film). It features a young woman played by actress Cindy Harrell who is haunted by a ghost portrayed by Parker, roaming a nearly all-black house interior (with vibrant neon designs outlining the sparse architectural and industrial features) until the woman finally calls the Ghostbusters. It was the No. 1 video on MTV for most of the summer of 1984 and features cameos by celebrities Chevy Chase, Irene Cara, John Candy, Melissa Gilbert, Ollie E. Brown, Jeffrey Tambor, George Wendt, Al Franken, Danny DeVito, Carly Simon, Peter Falk and Teri Garr. None of the actors were paid for participating but did so as a favor to Reitman, Bill Murray, or Dan Aykroyd. The video concludes with Parker and the stars of the film in full Ghostbuster costume, dancing down the streets of New York City (where the movie takes place). Times Square was closed in order to film the scene, although a sizable crowd may still be seen in the background.
