Less "corporate punk" more "Jeff Bezos is forcing us to install anti-homeless spikes on our clothing"

Nothing says 'punk' like an Amazon logo unironically embroidered onto your jacket

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 67 points 2 days ago

Even ignoring the incompatability of corpo-punk this is still an atrocious fit

This is what I mean when I say punk is only an aesthetic

[-] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Nah, punk is an ethos, it never died, and the "punk" aesthetic has little to do with punk. For example Ms Rachel is punk as fuck, whereas this clown is just corporate.

But we're saying the same thing I bet.

punk is an ethos

There are still people trying to do things independently, just nobody sees it because we're not posting on TikTok and Instagram.

I work as a technician in an independent venue, lots of manual labour, doing twelve hour shifts, and also run a cassette label. I record everything myself, dub the tapes myself, make and print all the artwork myself, ship it all internationally on my own. I've organised unions and gone on strike at venues, won tribunals against employers.

I will agree though that a lot of libs exploit the good will of DIY community in bad faith.

Compare that performative poser dickhead to the actual Punkest guy on Earth:

[-] ufcwthrowaway@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Who is this? (I'm a posuer)

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

As already mentioned he was the founding member of Minor Threat (legends of the 80s hardcore scene) and Fugazi (seminal post-punk), but his uncompromising ethos was what truly made him punk. He was the founder of Dischord Records, a fiercely DIY label that set hard price limits (about half the industry average for CDs and vinyl) and refused corporate distribution channels. Now a lot of indie labels also follow this practice, but what made Dischord so unique was the massive amounts of money thrown at them from major labels during the height of the 90s alternative rock boom. Fugazi turned down a $10 million deal with Atlantic to retain their independence when every label was frothing at the mouth to sign them. They refused to work with Ticketmaster and other commercial outlets despite their growing popularity. All of their shows remained $5 and all-ages for as long as it could be sustainable.

Oh its Ian McCay gotcha - never seen his face before

Ian Mackaye. Leader singer of Fugazi. Good band.

[-] ufcwthrowaway@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Oh cool, didnt recognize him! I could never get into fugazi but I like some minor threat

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, raging against one’s own machine. Next you be stealing copper from the DC guys just to get your cube mates a Keurig.

Also, why is his beard packed with chow mein from Panda Express?

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

I'm usually a "wear whatever you want at any age" person, but the letterman jacket is one of those articles that has an expiration date

:corporate-punk: has legs. It'd make a nice insult emoji for radlibs and tech goobers.

I know that's not metal shop because the patches aren't made of fire-resistant material, and are sown on the inside, which is fucking bad because if a spark gets caught in-between the interior and exterior, that's how you catch your pants on fire. Not OSHA approved.

[-] ratboy@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

Who the god damn fuck is this? @GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net you need to weigh in here this is despicable. An affront to everything sacred

[-] ratboy@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago

Also why the ass pic there's nothing goin on back there

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

It's bad folks. Even minus the Amazon logos, who spikes a letterman jacket? And what is in his beard?

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

He asked AI to design a punk outfit.

I'm only half joking and there's a really high chance he actually did.
