    Never thought about this before but in what way is she a punk if she isn’t rebelling against at least one thing?

        I’ll just concile myself by saying she meant punk fashion sense. She loves punk fashion sense but also loves the government and would never ever ever rebel against it. Her dad’s a policeman and her mom’s a school principal.

        edit: CONSOLE. i get so many english words wrong recently.

          Yeah… ‘punk’ is an actual lifestyle, maybe you could say an ideology, or parts of an ideology, or a framework for ideology.

          When you just wear it as a costume, you’re not only missing the point, you’re disposing of the meaning the style is supposed to signify… you’re gentrifying a concept, and very likely commodifying it.

          Now of course I don’t expect every young person, young adult to … grasp all of that… would be very stupid to ‘well ackshually’ some kid just trying to express themselves as unique, in some way.

          But maybe, hopefully, some of em will read this, and it’ll spur them to look into the actual history, the actual ideas… realize that how you live is incredibly more important than what you look like, while doing so.

      Yeah it’s a dumb meme. 1 & 3 are clearly claiming false persecution for sympathy, because the way you present yourself is the way you wish to be perceived and obviously gaslighting. 2 is hard racism.

      It only works to poke fun at the irony of a stupid premise because only one of these things is a real issue.
