I found that Punk was astroturfed even during the early 80s, around the time I discovered it along with the old friends I had unlike how the media portrays punk, most punkers listened to it only because it was promoted so heavily.
It was as extremely left-wing like so many on here said. Now, me being a anti-communist conservative Libertarian for a long time, I find most bands to be near goddamn unlistenable to me today, even for old school stuff my old childhood friends turned bullies listened to like Black Flag, D.O.A Discharge,Bad Brains, Charged G.B.H, the Exploited, Suicidal Tendencies, and countless others. The few punk bands that I do find listenable do are always exclusively Crossover Thrash since Thrash is my favorite metal genre,
What’s worse I found literal commies even back then inside the punk scene. What’s not surprising , those old punk friends actually turned their backs on me when I started getting into Thrash/Speed Metal later on in the 1980s.
Punks are not your friends, they will stab you in the back if they suddenly don’t like you.
What’s even worse, they like to sabotage their haters so that the haters are forced into the scene, like the rap movement, the cartoon community, the communist movement the troon movement, and so much other dumb as fuck garbage.
There is nothing redeeming about punk for 99% of the time, however, only 3 major good things came out of it,
1. Thrash. 2. Death Metal. 3. Black Metal. Those metal genres are several thousand times better then Punk,
Now, to respond to others in the thread
Punk is a place where the unwelcome are welcome. And the welcome are unwelcome. The scorned, pariahs, rejects and spurned are the core of punk.
This described my childhood former friends turned bullys in the 1980s. Look at them today, all libtard Antifa scum. I’m glad I distanced from them during the mid-80s when I got into thrash and speed metal. I made much better friends in most of the metal community.
It always was primarily well off children larping as "FUCK THE SYSTEM", while imagining we're still in 2004
Not just 2004 but in a small town in a mid-Atlantic state in the early-to mid 1980s. Rich kids will larp as oppressed as long as they are coddled and sheltered from the actual real world.
"HAHA stupid right wingers don't get that we're making fun of them"
They wonder why the young generation don’t listen to punk these days compared to rap or even metal music.
"What's that? You're some middle aged white man from middle america but you like our music? Fuck off nazi punk!"
What’s up with Punks hating white people when the genre was mostly started by white people?
