The people who have the original Ramones t-shits because they were at the concert, not because they stole their parents credit card to buy it on EBay...or they guy who got out of work and is still wearing his uniform, or business suit because FU, he doesn't care, so why should you?
Well, welcome to the real punks…the people who say FU when you tell them what they should think, or should feel, .not because they feel that’s what they should say but because we do what we want, because it’s what we want, not what you….or anyone else wants…there are all spectrums of us, we are skaters and Goths(the real ones, not those commercialized snots who spend all their money to buy a full length leather suit…a real Goth will make it themselves). We celebrate our freedoms as OUR FREEDOMS…if we want to smoke we do, if we don’t we don’t criticize those who do because it’s their freedom. We don’t’ wear guy-liner or paint our nails, we wear our worn/falling apart jeans because it’s the most comfortable pants we own, not because it’s a fashion statement. We like our music because it is the true expression of the artist and not something that someone else wrote and the record company told them to perform. Real punk bands make it about the music, not politics. We know that the best music comes from bands you never heard of from places you never heard of. We get tattoos to express ourselves if we want, if no tattoo expresses us we don’t get one for the sake of getting one. Getting a tattoo for the sake of getting one is just polluting your body with someone else’s ideals. We know no one else can understand us and don’t try to understand another punk because it’s just rude. We want what we earn and hate people to want what they think they “disserve”. And we understand that if you want to do drugs, fine, have at it, but in the end you are just trying to make yourself into something you aren’t be who you are and drugs won’t have any purpose.
You want to call me a poser, go ahead, I know who I am, but do you know who you are?
