#punk fasion

You know, if Spider Punk gets people interested in punk, good. We all have to start somewhere and Hobie is a damn good representation. If he is what makes a person go “hey, this seems cool, I should check it out.” good. That’s one more person interested in punk and wanting to get into it. 

That being said, if you are new to punk(hi baby punks!) some things to keep in mind

1. Punk philosophy is largely anti-authoritarian. Individual and even punk communities differ on specifics, and some are more political than others, but the core themes tend to be resisting those who would control and oppress us, and supporting and including people in your community

2. Punk fashion SHOULD NOT BE EXPENSIVE. A lot of fashion companies will try and sell you jackets for a couple hundred bucks, but that’s just corporations trying to cash in on a subculture. A big part of Punk and its history is DIY because Punk should be open to everyone and putting that behind a fashion paywall is just not punk. You don’t even need to be dressing punk to BE punk, but thrift your clothes. Make stencils and use spray paint or bleach to give it a pattern. Use old jeans to make patches. Buy your spikes and studs in bulk and go wild. Turn your old t shirt that doesn't fit anymore into a back patch. Go crazy with some safety pins. You can make more with $30 than you can buy from a designer for $300. And skill is not needed, frankly if it looks a little wonky it makes it look more punk

3. Dental floss makes for good thread for sewing on patches. It’s good for thick, stylistic stitches and is both cheap and durable. Don’t know why I made this its own point but it’s one of the most common tricks for punk DIY besides taking paint to scraps of fabric to make a patch. Honestly, if you want to know how to do more, just ask other punks how they made their vests and jackets, they’ll probably be happy enough to tell you

4. Punk philosophy and music is closely related. The communities evolved around the music scene so it is closely linked. Give some punk bands a try if you haven't already. There’s a bunch of subgenres so you’ll probably find something you like. From OG “proto punk” where the sound was still developing into what we call punk, to pop punk, anarco punk, and folk punk. There are people who say you can’t be punk if you don’t listen to the music, and there’s a whole conversation to be had about all that, but it’s just a good idea to try listening to some punk music

5, Nazis fuck off

6. Seriously, nazis fuck off. There’s a whole history behind it and why we associate skinhead punks with neo nazis. Largely we’ve made it clear we don’t want nazis in our community and the street punk music scene that nazi punks became associated with has made strides to separate themselves from that.

7. Be cool and respectful of people regardless of religion, ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, background, etc. Solidarity with our community is important and all sorts are welcome. Gatekeeping isn’t cool and frankly women and minorities have done a lot for punk as a whole. Respect for everyone

Helen of Troy (real name Helen Mininberg & Helen Wellington-Lloyd) in stills from The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle by Julien Temple (1980).

Helen has been a more than a distinctive face in the Sex Pistols entourage. Born to a wealthy South African family, she first met with Malcolm McLaren at Goldsmiths’ art school and they became close friends, briefly lovers as well as LSD partners. She was an integral part of the Soho nightlife, associated with musicians from the Prety Things and The Pink Fairies, lived in a posh central London appartment which McLaren described as “quite a little drug den” and shared an interest in some of McLaren’s extreme visions, a reason that soon turned her into one of the first troops in his army of misfits.

She has been credited with the invention of the punk graphic “ransom/blackmail note look” of cut-out newspaper letters used to create the first Sex Pistols logo on the floor of her flat, the band’s early typography and posters -which Jamie Reid later refined- as well as some more fashion ideas that she got no credit for, like the use of tartan or chains as elements of punk style and she’s known to have appeared in Derek Jarman’s ‘77 film Jubilee and in The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle by Julien Temple in 1980.

Having been born with a condition which caused dwarfism, she was drawn to a world of punk weirdos who accepted her without question:

“I always had a negative self conscious image of myself. But being part of an outrageous clique made me feel secure. Nobody had dressed like us before so Plebs couldn't categorise me, which made it possible for me to be myself. I felt liberated and that's when I started to live. For a time I was unaware of the negative side of being a freak. 

Because of my size and the way I was brought up, the punk era was the most liberating time of my life... Suddenly I had the courage to wear ridiculous things that made me stand out. For the first time I didn't try and merge into the background. I wanted people to look at me with my chains, safety-pins, foxtail and black eyes. 

For once being a dwarf didn't matter.”

it just occured to me i haven't shared full pics of my cpunk vest, so here it is! im still slowly adding to it but i wanted to share now

[ID 1: the front of a black denim vest with many pins and patches on it. the patches include a red "T4T" patch, a Poppy patch, a "xe/xem" pronoun patch, and the genderqueer flag. some of the pins include "queers live here too" southeast USA, "no spoons only knives", "black anger is valid" and "disarm defund dismantle police" /end ID 1]

[ID 2: the back of the vest with four patches, one on the top and three on the bottom. the top patch reads "queercrip" in pink letters. the bottom patches, going left to right, read "limp wrist raised fist" "keep abortion legal" and "cripple punk". /end ID 2]

So I made a custom jacket.

I say made, it's a vintage Italian flight jacket I cropped and hemd. Its ment to be like, I'm getting this simple of masculinity, conformity and militarism and turning it into something fem, unique and punk. I'm really proud of it but I feel like it's missing something... any ideas?

i think that robin should bond with all 3 byers kids (el included) and max bc all of them are some aspect of alternative/punk

bonus if robin takes steve’s old clothes and messes w them to make it more her style, and if will and el gives max some of their old clothes (max and el just share a closet at this point)

Finished pride month with a trip to the pride month clothing exchange/ soup party next to the baseball field bleachers.

Ignore the overly specific unrelated tag. That was auto fill when I was tagging this slice of life
