A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    I would kindly request we stop knocking my friend over what tee-shirt he’s wearing. He listens to a vary wide range of music, but I don’t think that makes him any less “punk”. He listens to punk music, is active in the punk scene and basicly belives and pratices many “punk” ideologies. In defence of his mohawk he had probibly been sleeping on if for about a week. That guy is a filthy smelly fuck who could give a shit less about what exactly he’s wearing and thats one of my favoret things about him. He doesn’t let silly fashon faux pas dictate what he chooses for his own reasons to like. We’re not in high school any more lets leave that high school drama there.

    #18 Jay – What an incredibly ignorant comment. Punk has nothing to do with the way you look. Having headphones and studs on your jacket can be as punk as having a torn up suit or even a ballgown. Punk is about the politics of boredom and having a DIY ethic and not about looking a specific way

    Claiming someone isn’t a punk because they don’t look the part is laugh out loud ridiculous.

    hey…I only found this cause These guys posted this blog on myspace to show how dumb and superfical some people can be and Im not much of a punk, but it was my understanding that caring about how you or someone else looks is counter…well everything ive been informed about punk. I figured you just dressed a way you did to identify with people who have similar taste and intrests, not to compete. silly me.

    Seriously, most of you people are fucking ridiculous.

    You’re making fun of this dude for not “dressing like a real punk”? First of all, to repeat what surprisingly few have said, the idea that there is a punk “dress code” is contradictory as hell.

    Also, members of community who strongly preaches not judging people on their looks are making fun of him? Practice what you preach, you fucking hypocrites
