Never thought about this before but in what way is she a punk if she isn’t rebelling against at least one thing?
Maybe she’s just rebelling against the idea of rebellion itself.
Being punk against punk is just ska.
Only if she also plays a brass instrument and/or tolerates someone doing so near her.
The math girl probably has one
Asian kids are forced to learn a string instrument only violin, cello, classical guitar or piano.
She’s so punk she circled around to being conformist!

She got confused and misspelled ‘poser’.
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.
Yea and I don’t even get what appeals someone to the aesthetic if they’re not rebellious.
I despise her so much.
I’m so angry at her that I can’t breathe.
And you misspelt “poseur” ;)
And you misspelled ‘The’ ;)
I can see why Rai likes you.
And I just noticed that number 3’s crazy hair color is just black.
Haha, yeah, but i guess she did that because too many people were hitting on her?
Plot twist: her natural hair color is “several”
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.
1 is the only one that doesn’t make sense.
3 though… I want to be perceived as someone with fantasy coloured hair, you are right. Why are you making the equivalence of crazy colours -> attention seeking person?
That’s what the image is denouncing, and you are criticising the 3rd image, so that’s the equivalence that you are supporting with your comment.
Out of curiosity, because I wish to understand your reasoning. What you’re saying that even though they wish to dye their hair in unique bright fantasy colors that they wish to remain anonymous and inconspicuous in public. Logically that seems like the opposite. If I also like having unique colored hair then I should ignore that we have something in common and not draw attention to it?
Please take no offense, I genuinely want to know your reasoning.
I think you might be confusing a few things?
It’s not that it’s done for no attention whatsoever, it’s that the phrase “they’re just doing this for attention” is a way that people dismiss each other, and ironically, over-fixate on people who just want to pay for their groceries and leave, you know?
By being fashionable in socially unapproved ways, people will assume you’re being vain as a euphemism for their relative disgust, and vanity loses you a lot of social capital—aura, basically. They’ll rather think of you as prissy than serious.
But you can comment on a person’s hair if you like it, same as you would a band t-shirt for a group you both like.
Yeah, That statement suggests I can’t do anything outside of the broadest of accepted pop culture for me, it has to be because I am desperately seeking attention to fill some sort of deficit in my life.

I think you missed the point on 2.
In what way? Seems racist to me.
This is a very valid question.
Um, if you’re punk, you actually do have to rebel. It’s not about wearing jackets with band patches.
Maybe they are confusing being a punk with liking punk music? There is still a huge overlap
The commodification and commercialization of punk culture is a tragedy. BY DEFINITION if you’re punk you are rebelling, it’s not just a clothing style.
I agree, thats what being punk is all about. This ain’t a stereotype but the essence of punk, so this meme/picture template isnt even true.
It’s so bad. I hate this meme template.
Also, the crazy colours girl has black hair
btw this is a great moment to recommend chikoi the maid artist.
also punk is about expressing sadness and grief which this track manages to do for me.
i thought punk was pretty much rebel by definition
Maybe that’s what she’s rebelling about
I was going to dismiss her as a poser, but I like the idea of multiple layers of
ironypunk.punk²
Yes, but I guess people want punk version 2 now, judging by this image.
I don’t like the word “Poser” much but that’s like the definition of posing as a punk, right?
Capitalism is so good at absorbing all critiques of itself into itself. Punk is rebellion. Turning punk into a fashion trend got rid of all it’s teeth.
The punk and moth aren’t stereotypes; they are biologically compelled.
i have no mouth and i must scream
I am a mouth and I must sing
Girl at the top right is clearly French.
I wear a beret so I must be French
I have no beret yet I must mime
She eats cheese and drinks wiiiiine!
I don’t see no baguette

But why are they flying towards the lamp? They don’t fly towards the sun. Or are they flying around the lamp? I’m confused

You just turned a regular moth month into moth education month.
Seriously, thank you! It makes a lot of sense now
light isn’t always up btw. it can also be down a reflection in the water, e.g. moonlight.

Ahh yes LAMP… Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The software bundle that every high school kid installs when embarking on their journey to web development. I doubt its as popular as it used to be back in them days. WAMP particularly made it easy to get a website going. Sure does bring me back.
Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
Does not dye hair crazy colors. Not the day this photo was taken at least.
Slap!
This is the third moth post I’ve seen in under 24hrs. Is it moth month or something? What did I miss?
We serve the LÄMP, bröther.
Every month is moth month if you month your moth
