"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

#out of queue #ani rambles #punks and posers #i cant even call this a 4am hot take because its 7pm but like #idk i keep seeing posts about like 'how DARE people think I bought my punk clothes how DARE they not know the how-tos and DIYs' #or 'ugh people only care about the ~aesthetics~ of my movement if you don't know shit get out of here' and like #maybe I'm just a shy ass introverted nerd whos scared of social rejection! but I avoid that shit like the plague #so if someone were to reject me based on not knowing about something I'd never even heard about? something i was JUST getting into? #there's a high chance I'd just scram and never look back. i don't wanna be the one who causes that emotion in someone else #granted this is coming from someone who STILL doesn't know how to make her own patches or worked up the courage to do direct action praxis #outside of offering neighbors to my tomatoes and trying to talk to people about what I'm passionate about #but still imo unless someone's a malicious intentional bad actor i dont see the point in scaring newbies off #thats how movements die imo #i know this is my solarpunk blog but its not a solarpunk specific thing #i think the main post that inspired this was about store-bought versus self-made spiked leather jackets #which honestly just feels petty to me but who knows. #might delete later

punk spot and goth sarah stuff 🫰

i also made playlists of the kind of music i think they'd listen to :') you can listen to spot's here. most tracks fall under the hardcore subgenre, but there's also a good amount of ska and pop. generally has a chaotic, garage, and/or dated kind of sound, really wanted the kind of stuff that scratches my brain in a specific, rough way

there's also sarah's playlist, which i'm less confident about because i'm wayyy more immersed in punk subculture and music. but. i tried! some gothic rock, mostly punkabilly and gothabilly. i feel like she'd be into music that has that campy slasher feel, so that's the overall mood i was gunning for

#newsies #92sies #uksies #sarah jacobs #spot conlon #drawings #confession idk anything about uksies this is purely based on vibes bcuz the concept of a pinoy nonbinary spot has charmed me #anyways more nerdy stuff ahead i am so sorry >>> #i heart thinking about what characters would be like if they were punk it is so fun #i view sarah as punk usually so it's interesting to compare & contrast her and spot #like sarah i personally cant see modifying her hair or her body much. she'd mostly stick to diying clothes and jewelry #so while she IS punk she's not the kind of punk that most people auto think of #but spot feels like someone who'd /really/ want to lean into all the trappings of punk. being intimidating AND cool #so they're spiky all over. hair piercings jacket are sharp #sarah's battle jacket is a comfortable corduroy material. it's colorful and has random scraps of fabric bcuz the goal is #to make the original jacket last as long as possible #whereas spot's has more inflammatory patches and is strictly black and white and has the sleeves cut off #and has non fabric stuff attached like the spikes and studs and also soda can tabs #because they also strike me as someone who collects random odds and ends. hence the bottle caps repurposed as pins #i also wanted to play around with adding chains and safety pins onto their jacket but alas #ultimately had to prioritize readability #same thing w sarah i wanted to give her layered necklaces and more maximalist elements to her outfit but it ended up muddying everything up #anyways. im insane but specificity is very important to me for punk stuff just because i think #'punk versions of xyz' tend to water down what punk actually is by prioritizing the aesthetics of rebellion without being specific #in What they are rebelling against. which is why these headcanons lack inflammatory political ideas and punk bands #or like they'll just have the circle A sign and it's like ok but do you know what anarchism is and what anarchist praxis looks like #also spot would not be an anarchist tbh they read as more of a commie #they are not doing nonhierarchical based organizing iykyk

[alex-just-vibing]

my mom: hmm where'd all my safety pins go

me (decided like an hour ago that i really really wanted to get into alt/punk fashion and diy):

#my stuff #stuck some in my ears #honest to god i have no idea how my piercings didnt close up by now i got my ears pierced at claires when i was like seven and rarely wear #earrings but somehow they still. are open #also cut up an old pair of uniform pants and stuck some pins in there. cuz fuck my old school #... without asking her so i hope she wont get too pissed at me about that 😅 #put some on my jacket too B) #i think punk fashion is so cool and i am doing. what i can over here without a job or means of independent transportation

I'm still appalled that Chloe "I'll go and throw together an outfit out of my beloved dead dad's old clothes" Price didn't get an option to wear William's jacket which was literally carefully hanged in her room.

#chloe price #life is strange #life is strange before the storm #lis #lis bts #my art #this might be the most precious Chloe I've ever drawn #yes the jacket wouldn't fit her THAT'S THE POINT she's gay and punk hello #also I've discovered that drawing on paper negates my anxiety about drawinf #so

[oh-hush-its-perfect]

fierrochase really is the prep/punk pairing we've always needed

#'Alex isn't prep!' please see the list of her outfits on my other account mcga-resources #and magnus is most assuredly punk #they go out together and it's like... alex in a button-up with a sweater vest and designer dress pants with pink hightops #and magnus in whatever he pulled out of the closet this morning (a loose T-shirt straight-leg grey jeans and a denim crust jacket) #the crust jacket has 'acab' written on the back and alex is wearing a pin on her sweater vest that says 'acab' #mcga #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #fierrochase #alex fierro #alex fierro/magnus chase

Why I think Rayni should be punk:

She is very loudly and proudly against the system

I’m gay

#my pitch for her also keeping her indian heritage is that she wears a kurta pajama #but her nehru jacket is covered in the spikes and pins and such. maybe she wears a leather nehru jacket. #and yes i DO know that mostly men wear the nehru jacket. she’s a gnc queen #anyways…punk rayni…awooga…. #even in normal punk getup… #kotlc #rayni aria #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc glimmer

anyone filming a video on their phone in public i dont care ill walk in the way ill interrupt whatever. unless its teens making skating videos. because i think thats important even if theyre in the way of me getting to the atm.

#not really relevant but #every time i sit in the park i remember when i was like 16/17 #sitting in the PARK with the lamest battle jacket and my big platform docs because i was in that part of my life #like i looked mildly punk enough that like a normie would think i was really cooking with gas #and this fucking girl and her boy with her idk if they were students or just annoying #she was walking around taking pictures with a DSLR and she started taking pictures of me feeding the pigeons for no fucking reason #didnt ask just did it #and i wish it had happened now bc i would tell her to fuck off and you shouldnt take pictures of people downtown without their permission #bc youre just asking for unnecessary confrontation. also its rude #but i never said anything bc i was 17 and nervous #the pictures probably sucked too she was too far away and the lighting was bad.

[fleshdyke]

always remember the key to being punk is being nice

#that pic of the punk guy at a rally letting a kid touch his jacket spikes. that pic of the punk girl at a mall letting a kid touch her #spiked hair. thats the spirit of punk #rambles #punk

14 n 16 for punk boys please

14. What is something that never fails to get them excited?

No matter how many times he’s performed, a show will always get Sun all buzzy with excitement. He loves playing, and giving his fans what they want. Meeting up with fans gets him all giddy as well. For Moon, he gets excited about new locations he can explore after the show ends & he’s able to sneak out. It’s always in the back of his mind while he and Sun are performing. He can’t wait for it to be over so he can sneak out and check out all the new scenery nearby.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone has done for them?

Of course, the boys have gotten the occasional “love letter” from their fans, or little heart-themed gifts that they keep. They’re always touched by these things, and they love to tease one another whenever the other receives a gift of that caliber. They definitely know they’ve got simps, lol.

For Moon, there was an anonymous fan who wrote a small song for him, and mailed the sheet music to him along with a letter. It wasn’t a love song per-say, but it touched on how much they looked up to him, and how his music had changed their life for the better. The music had made their life just a little more bearable, and they had wanted to show their gratitude by writing a song of their own for him. He knows the tune by heart from playing it so often on his bass…

For Sunny, he received something similar, though this one’s got a bigger story attached to it.

There was a girl who was a fan of their shows, though mostly she came so that she could meet up with Sunny at the end, during the fan meet & greets. She was a reoccurring sight and Sun grew accustomed to seeing her after all of their performances. They both got along incredibly well, and she treated Sun more as a person than as a celebrity or a machine. He was very fond of her. One day came though, where she said she wouldn’t be able to come to the shows, or reach out to him anymore. Sun was heartbroken over hearing the news, but the two of them were able to say their final goodbyes before she left. She ended up gifting him a CD as a goodbye present, with a recording of her singing “You Are My Sunshine”. It’s one of his most precious possessions, and he’ll listen to it whenever he’s feeling low. He’d never trade it for anything.

#do these things count as romantic #I have no idea #also #the letter that moon received along with the sheet music is the same letter that he keeps in the inner pocket of his jacket #neither of them were addressed so he has no idea who wrote them #and the girl that sunny was attached to never gave a clear reason as to why she left #he doesn’t know what happened to her #ask game #punk! sun & moon #ask k9
