    In the newest Superman movie he and Lois go to his family home. He has punk band posters that she claims are normie or poser or something. The following scene comes later: https://youtube.com/shorts/2LivEfhnW9k

    The new Superman movie has a side plot about Superman and Lois disagreeing on the meaning of "punk rock". Lois thinks it's about questioning everything, telling truth to power, being cynical. Clark thinks in our modern political climate, being kind and hopeful and loving is "the real punk rock". Clark's musical tastes are still pretty normie tho

    Clark? Like Clark Kent? I thought we were talking about Superman, not a random journalist.

    Lois makes sense when it comes to government/ corporations, Clark makes sense when it comes to other individual humans.

    It's ironic that there are so many prerequisites and certificates necessary to be a fan of punk, while being a punk musician requires nothing. You don't even need to know how to play an instrument or sing.

    Just don't be a right-wing loser and you're welcome to any punk rock show, wearing a tuxedo or a space suit if you want.

    Went to a show last week and a guy in a button up and corduroy pants started talking to me. He was new but I embraced him as much as a fellow punker as I would someone with torn up jeans, dyed hair and studs. In the end you should be able to wear what you feel comfortable in, whether it be a suit or a crust punk fit

    I really think that that's mostly just a loud minority being asshats. In my local scene the focus is more on being and expressing yourself in a way you like. Sure the music might be a bit more extreme than popular punk bands but in the end we all stand for the same common goals of equality and self expression, and excluding people for "not being punk enough" is a shit take and should die out real quick

    If you're a normie and you want to be punk rock, here's a good place to start:

    Not include Goldfinger's "Superman" into a Superman movie claiming "punk rock" themes was a huge missed opportunity

    I remember being one of the youngest of a group of boy scouts, sitting in a tent, huddled around a battery-powered, mono-speaker tape deck, in 1978, listening to a bootleg copy of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. I'd never heard anything like it. No other music has surprised me in the same way since.

    Nevermind the bollocks was good, but that whole project was just Malcom Mclaren building around a fashion movement of staged rage.

    The Ramones first album was two years earlier, without any bullshit agenda or fashion cues.
