lads im in the mood to gaze upon the incomprehensible
just took a worm pill this shit metal as fuck
i hate you "punk aesthetic" i hate you excessive -core s i hate you fast fashion i hate you manufactured grunge i hate you pristine combat boots and pre sewn patches i love you diy i love you anarchists i love you crust punk i love you dirty clothing
(william murderface voice) pisshing all by yourshelf, handshome?
mutuals who reblog my trc posts without knowing that its about a specific book series: idk who these Rowan and Gainsey people are but damned are they gay
sorry but this band has to be a front for a gay sex thing. like I know they love making music together but it had to have started as a gay sex thing
I hear people talk about how punk clothing is expensive, how you don’t have enough money to buy docs so obv you aren’t a real punk, how you can’t buy pins anywhere, how punk jewelry is sooo expensive BULLSHIT
The backbone of punk is diy. Punk is messy, punk is making the best of what you have. Nothing is more punk than making your own beauty with the shit you find scattered about
Wanna have docs? Buy some knock offs for 20 bucks and add some spikes no one will care
Want patches? Embroider on some old fabric. Use paint, bleach, markers, whatever you have. If that’s not good enough, buy from small businesses when you can
Want pins? Make em. Use safety pins and a bottle cap and you got a pin. Just paint something on, if you don’t have paint, I’ve used white out and pens just do whatever. Also fr just um borrow from any big shitty chain store, not from small businesses tho
Want jewelry? Pliers are your best friend. Fix broken jewelry with em, use chains u found to make something. I’ve used a hanging plant wire to make a barbed wire bracelet with nothing but pliers. Just fuck around. Buy from small businesses and again, big shitty chains are fair game
Want spikes and cool metal shit? Literally just take any metal like literally anything and stick it to your clothes. Safety pins, can tabs (esp monster ones bc fun colors) lighter caps, make spikes out of cans, take chains outta the recycle bin
Punk is the most accessible subculture. Punk was made by people with no money, and anyone who tells you you need fancy shit to be punk ain’t a real punk. Punk is about fucking around with the idea of what you should be, so just have fun! There are literally no rules!
My heart so broke that I could beg for affection
