Punk Lifestyle - Tumblr Posts
Awwwww thanks so much, needed to hear that. I'm so glad to have you in this community and very thankful that I have the privilege to be a part of it, too. Even if we don't always see eye to eye or fight side by side, punks (and alt people in general) are family; because we're all chasing a just future and embracing the oddities of ourselves and others around us. It's a beautiful thing.
I'm passing @when-you-cant-think-of-anything's message on to @catboy-ptsd and @oncealoseralwaysaloser as well.
You guys rock.

My dear mutuals,
Please treat yourselves kindly today/tomorrow if it’s nighttime ! I love you and want you to go get a drink of water and a little heathy snack, if you haven’t already done both. You’re amazing and important if not to yourself then too someone else (me).
I have no idea how I got any of you but I will die for all of you <3

Amen. And can we stop harassing people for not being "punk enough" in general? It's almost as if, in order to be part of any community, you're expected to be the most extreme version to qualify to use the term or something. There's people in this culture still learning and there's people in this culture who agree with some aspects and disagree with others and that should be okay- ESPECIALLY in punk culture. Punk is literally based on being weird, not fitting in, and ACCEPTANCE of those oddities. You'd think if any culture wouldn't gatekeep, it would be us. YET SOMEHOW its one of the most elitist riddled groups of people I've seen! It's wild!
Hm. Might make a longer rant on this later.
Ngl I think one major problem is that people on here and online in general seem to think that patches always have to be punk and they.... Don't
Punk doesn't own patches, people can make them of anything they want.
Just because somebody is making a patch doesn't mean they're a part of the subculture.
Making patches is literally just a form of art like any other
Stop harassing people over their patches not being "punk enough" because for starters that isn't a thing and that might not even be their intention anyways
Not sure if I have enough followers to do this, but doing it anyway.
nihilism is not punk. doomerism is not punk. quitting is not punk.
the stark reality is that if they announced there was 24 hours before a giant comet hit the earth, i would find reason to fight and advocate and celebrate in the ensuing chaos up to the final seconds.
punk is walking into every situation and punching it in the mouth regardless of how big it is or the dominion it holds over your existence.
punk is hope and growth and love and fury and anger and passion and spit in the face of hostile forces.
punk is community and mutual aid and soup kitchens and block parties and festivals and little libraries and clothes drop boxes.
punk is dancing on the deck of a sinking ship because hey you motherfuckers i didn’t hear the music stop.
punk is having the hope for something better on behalf of those who can’t see it right now.
punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead.
Stop trying to be a perfect punk and focus on just being a good person
