It's ironic that there are so many prerequisites and certificates necessary to be a fan of punk, while being a punk musician requires nothing. You don't even need to know how to play an instrument or sing.

Just don't be a right-wing loser and you're welcome to any punk rock show, wearing a tuxedo or a space suit if you want.
Went to a show last week and a guy in a button up and corduroy pants started talking to me. He was new but I embraced him as much as a fellow punker as I would someone with torn up jeans, dyed hair and studs. In the end you should be able to wear what you feel comfortable in, whether it be a suit or a crust punk fit
Unironically.
"As something of a punk myself," there is waaay too much cynicism in the modern world.

I really think that that's mostly just a loud minority being asshats. In my local scene the focus is more on being and expressing yourself in a way you like. Sure the music might be a bit more extreme than popular punk bands but in the end we all stand for the same common goals of equality and self expression, and excluding people for "not being punk enough" is a shit take and should die out real quick
What has superman to do with punk rock?
In the newest Superman movie he and Lois go to his family home. He has punk band posters that she claims are normie or poser or something. The following scene comes later: https://youtube.com/shorts/2LivEfhnW9k
Bro what is that line
In the movie Lois mocks him for being a goody two shoes who listens to bad pseudo punk. He thinks he’s cool, but he’s actually a huge dork, but he means well.
That's how he should be too
It’s a joke that he’s very corny

Not include Goldfinger's "Superman" into a Superman movie claiming "punk rock" themes was a huge missed opportunity
I don't think Superman is pretending to be a super man though.
im sorry but no one that listens to punk calls it punk rock.
They don't, however, that's the correct genre name. Punk is an ethos rather than a genre.

I mean, I’ve been listening to punk since I was 10 and I do occasionally say punk rock. Usually in a phrase like “Hell yeah punk rock!”, it’s just not as common as saying punk.
True, which is funny bscause it makes it seem like lois lane has adapted her vernacular to communciate clearly with Clark and his old fashioned ways.

Why didn't I ever listen about this movie? Is it out yet?
Yes, it came out last year. It even has Krypto the superdog!
what have i missed? why is superman in any way associated with punk?
They have a discussion about music, and this is how it ends.
Please, watch the film it's amazing.
If you're a normie and you want to be punk rock, here's a good place to start:
Then here
So many kick ass songs in this thread. Thank you for starting it!

So here I am, doing everything I can....
I remember being one of the youngest of a group of boy scouts, sitting in a tent, huddled around a battery-powered, mono-speaker tape deck, in 1978, listening to a bootleg copy of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. I'd never heard anything like it. No other music has surprised me in the same way since.
Nevermind the bollocks was good, but that whole project was just Malcom Mclaren building around a fashion movement of staged rage.
The Ramones first album was two years earlier, without any bullshit agenda or fashion cues.
Cool. Cool, cool, cool, but I didn't hear the Ramones first album in the 1970s.
