Men Be Like, "oh, You Like Grunge? Name Three Nirvana Songs!" Without Considering The Fact That Grunge

Men be like, "oh, you like grunge? Name three Nirvana songs!" without considering the fact that grunge was not a single popular band at one moment in time, but the roots of a movement that resonates so strongly with us because the aesthetic alone was so contrary to consumerism and the trends of fast fashion that emerged in the 80s and are still prevalent today. It took the anti-establishment of punk and stripped it down to its roots. That isn't even touching on how the introspection allowed the music to not just criticize what was happening around them, but evaluate what that can do to the individual. Grunge didn't go away either, it grew up in different directions with the former participants. Like how the music of Pearl Jam, another major contributor to the movement, continues to make music that is softer and more reflective of how anger and sadness manifests when you don't have your youth to fuel your rage. Or how former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl has been very open about his advocacy for LGBT rights since the 90s and has used his influence in the industry to be active in politics and social justice, now with the influence that his amazing musical talents have given him as opposed to just making music about how angry he was about the world. There are plenty of punk bands that maintain the spirit of grunge that still perform today, the kind that have a couple hundred followers on Instagram and have never been played on the radio because they are, in essence, underground and unheard, and supporting their art does a lot more to support real grunge than naming three songs of a band so wildly famous that their merchandise is still in circulation today... Being produced... But you want to gatekeep a girl being responsible by wearing a hand-me-down Nirvana shirt her dad bought in 1998 without listening to their music because somehow that's doing grunge wrong...

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!

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
