The commodification and commercialization of punk culture is a tragedy. BY DEFINITION if you're punk you are rebelling, it's not just a clothing style.
I agree, thats what being punk is all about. This ain't a stereotype but the essence of punk, so this meme/picture template isnt even true.
Um, if you're punk, you actually do have to rebel. It's not about wearing jackets with band patches.
i thought punk was pretty much rebel by definition
Girl at the top right is clearly French.
I wear a beret so I must be French
But why are they flying towards the lamp? They don't fly towards the sun. Or are they flying around the lamp? I'm confused
This is the third moth post I've seen in under 24hrs. Is it moth month or something? What did I miss?
Capitalism is so good at absorbing all critiques of itself into itself. Punk is rebellion. Turning punk into a fashion trend got rid of all it's teeth.
I think that kid in the bottom left has bypassed the number of useless belts that are acceptable to wear without looking silly.
Come sit with gramps by the fire and let me tell you about a little time we called the early 2000s...
Ahh yes LAMP... Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The software bundle that every high school kid installs when embarking on their journey to web development. I doubt its as popular as it used to be back in them days. WAMP particularly made it easy to get a website going. Sure does bring me back.
Does not dye hair crazy colors. Not the day this photo was taken at least.
I don't like the word "Poser" much but that's like the definition of posing as a punk, right?
Wouldn't dyeing your hair a color that stands out and immediately gets noticed be for attention?
I mean, its like saying peacocks have their feathers like that not to get attention. Or colorful birds do it to not be noticed. It doesn't really make sense.
Maybe like, just want attention on my hair and not the rest of every part of my personality? Idk its weird though because every single thing we do to our outward appearance is for the attention of others around us whether sexually socially or whatever.
I'm a dude so maybe a little different but if I dyed my hair bright blue or pink then you can bet on it getting attention. And when asked whey I did and I'd say "oh man I didn't want anyone to notice!" People would rightfully call me out on that being bullshit.
Its ok to want the attention of fellow humans around you as long as you aren't manipulative about it. But to do it and seek it out and then act like its bothersome you are getting attention for it is strange behavior.

This is where the disconnect is for you.
People can want to alter their appearance for their own reasons that have nothing to do with socialization. Sometimes it's just because they want to treat themselves, try something new, or just feel good about how they look.
While I think that caring about how you look is not the same as "attention seeking", I think that "feeling good about you look" is still related to socialization.
If we didn't care whatsoever about others, we wouldn't have any reason to care about how we look. It doesn't have to be consciously thought like "if I do that, I'll be more attractive to the other sex" or "if I wear this, my tribe will recognize me like one of theirs". But feeling good about your appearance is still, in a roundabout way, about socialization, I think.
When I look in the mirror and see myself with my long hair (as a man), my metal band shirt and a wristband with norse symbols, I feel great about myself. But I think it's not random coincidence that I happen to be really into metal.
I know a muslim woman who fully covers her hair with hijab in public and still colors a few select strands red if that introduces any new perspectives.
Yes. Dying your hair crazy colors will get you attention. But it doesn't mean that you dyed your hair because you wanted attention.
If my dog goes too far away, I will shout its name very loud so it hears me and comes back to me.
Doing this will inevitably draw the attention of most of the people around me. But that was not my intention though, I just wanted the attention of my dog. The attention of the other people is just an unavoidable side effect. It may even be an unwanted side effect.
Besides humans not being peacocks, I think there's a philosophical difference between being genetically programmed to get attention and actually consciously desiring attention. And wanting to look a certain way is not the same as wanting attention at any given moment from whoever.
They didn't even spell colors or math right.
British spelling.
- Colours with the "u" like many other "ou" words.
- Maths is short for mathematics.
Color does not rhyme with flour so one of them needs different spelling.
Math is short for arethmathicalism.
How about four, pour, your?
All rhyme with each other but not color.
That's some fine shitpost commenting, lol
Yes, so how should we spell them?
Congratulations, this is the stupidest rationalization I've ever heard for this. Language isn't that systematic, especially English spelling
Everybody bitches about how bad english is but then they bitch harder when a certified genius tries to fix it 🙄
Wow, you even topped your last comment
Thank you.
What ever
