Why do ~80% of the people in DIY punk music scenes act like this?
>>131965639I'm actually inserted in the punk community of my country and most of the people are in their late 30s, have either a demanding job or are entrepeneurs in vegan food or music related stuffNever seen people like this, not even at fucking emocore shows
>>131965639SJWism and the oppression olympics became the predominant strain of leftism, of which punk is a part
>>131965667I just wanna chud out a little while being able to be in alt/art cliques but these types will excommunicate you for telling a cum town tier joke
>>131965682everyone in my scene started calling AOC a traitor for saying "woke 1 was crazy"
>>131965639Where's the lie
>>131965639too many people try to seek comfort within the labels they're given instead of rejecting them
>>131965657well the fact that you said "my country" is the tell here, since the only people who act like this are in america because being a victim is a profession here to game the welfare system
>>131965657>demanding jobLike what?
>>131965639Who is this? Someone from The Linda Lindas I assume? Their album this year bombed despite Hayley Williams shilling for them desperately.As of last week it hadn't even sold 7,000 records and was down to 400 a week.They've been utterly mogged by Die Spitz because it turns out that hot white girls in the 'punk scene' who actually are playing metal is far superior to the ugly brown girls playing limpwristed power pop.
>>131965639because they are retarded faggots
>>131965911The lie is that she is any kind of victim she portrays herself as. Just like how you lie to yourself about how it’s the world’s fault you are an unlikable loser
>>131965657You haven't been to a college town. They seem to all congregate there.
>>131970647Indeed. The world is truly a just after all.
>>131970704No one ever claimed the world is just but the state of the world isn’t the reason no one can stand to be around you. Try self-reflection sometime it won’t kill you I promise
>>131965657I'm involved in the punk scene in my "major US city" and while I have definitely met people like this, it's not even close to the majority. I stopped going to hardcore shows though cuz I hate the crowd so maybe they've all ended up there. Punk scene is definitely aging>>131965682desu I don't really get why cumtown or at least stavvy gets the pass in lefty circles. I like cumtown enough, have heard a few episodes and it's funny, I'm just surprised that for some reason people I know who used to lean extra SJW now re-post stavvy crowd work clips and shit. Maybe they just straight up don't know about cumtown somehow lol
>>131965639i hate zoomers so fucking much
>>131965639I think that's just a little joke, OP.
>>131966423i don't think many Europeans would consider the limited social services available in the US a true welfare system
>>131966654Weren't the linda lindas some rich dad with Indie industry connections who astroturfed his daughter's music with some sjw-speak stuff? Sorta Taylor swift but make it more brooklyn alt?
>>131965639>DIY punk music scenesthe person in the pic and the person who wrote "DIY punk music scenes" and people who don't know punk was over by 1980 really need to reassess their lives
>>131970800>desu I don't really get why cumtown or at least stavvy gets the pass in lefty circles.Think of it like this. Dirtbag left versus Tumblr left. Tumblr is no longer relevant and hasn't been for years. But the ideas that originated there have been influential and lingering. I don't go on Twitter and announce this all the time but I think most of that stuff is horse shit. Dirtbag left can be a bit cringe at times too but the lack of self seriousness allows it to skate by for the most part. Most people with left wing views Do. Not. Care. about any of this. But there are those out there who will loudly tell you about the evils of chapo trap house and cum town. It's pretty funny when you get them started about it, not gonna lie.
>>131972465Again those western “leftists” have completely abandoned Marxist principles in order to support salafasim, ethno-nationalism and gender essentialism. They basically are part of a new age religious cult and only call themselves Marxist to trick people
>>131972541Yeppies!
>>131972541I think their views in many ways might be a lot dumber than what you are imagining. Those are coherent ideas with historical roots you can trace. It's not the same as being stalked and harassed on Twitter by a group of people arguing that Anne Frank had white privilege and the term "PAWG" is an affront to black sex workers. While these absurd ideas may relate to gender and race they cannot be taken seriously. But subjecting them to the ridicule they deserve risks these people ganging up on you.
>>131965639bitch has to be larping, deboarding is far more stressful than boarding unless you're at the front
>>131965639This is the opposite of Punk
>>131973491A lot of what "punk" is has been the opposite of what it says/thinks it is since its inception
>>131972606>deboarding is far more stressfulFor impatient retards maybe. Always reminded me of a classroom closing their books and zipping their bags before the bell, while the teacher is still in the middle of their lesson. Except on a plane, it's mostly grown adults, not kids. Those moments of people trying to shove their way out of the plane, cramped over because they can't all stand up is hilarious and the most calming part of a flight to me. I just lay back in my seat, get really comfy for ten minutes, and chuckle at the 'tards.
>>131974187true lol, but I'm thinking more from the experience of being stuck on a plane when you have a tightly scheduled connecting flight or some other scheduled event. that's stressful.but either way she's overreacting
>>131965657>they're entrepreneurs in vegan food, that's totally not exactly the kind of retarded bullshit OP is talking about
>>131965639the false idea that Punk is inherently Political. the best way to avoid this is finding 1 band that plays the actual good kind, dumb fun song's that arent "serious",, and from you can find the people who just want to Rock Out (mostly olds) and have not larp as protestors or pretend they have something important to say bc they happen to holding a Microphone
>>131965639Punk has always been a trust fund hobby
>>131976170>you can't be a vegan in the subculture known for movements against animal exploitation
>>131965707People calling the late 2010s/early 2020s "Woke 1" are just living proof that no one actually knows anything about history as much as they claim too, considering these people make it a point to act like know it alls, it's annoying just reading it.
>>131979428yeah i remember when people thought political correctness was out of control in the 90s. but they weren't calling it woke so i guess 2020 or whatever being woke 1 makes is fine
>>131972427I recall something like that. Their rise was astroturfed by Kathleen Hanna and Amy Poehler, and this was before the totally organic praise and promotion for 'Racist, Sexist, Boy'.
>>131973491Punk is all about being a stupid retard so I think she's being pretty punk
>>131979444And most of those who though it was out of control would later become woke...Change is good.
>>131970699I live in Youngstown and its all like that here. I feel like the only non-leftist in the music scene. Back in the day people didn't care about politics much but there was still a similar vibe. I am autistic though, just not a retarded wokie.
>>131965639You have never interacted with DIY punk or otherwise on any level other than social media if this is your 'experience'.
>>131981692Yep. Lawrence, KS got especially awful.
>>131981847That's like in the middle of nowhere, sounds like too squeaky clean of a place to get infested.
