just like all good art

...

>b-but what about oi and RAC
That "music" was simply an attempt to infect young people who wanted to be part of a counter culture with facsist idealogies.
>but syd vicious once wore a swastika shirt! ha gotcha there
HE WAS BEING EDGY this should be a known fact, to wear a swastika was to actively go against what every middle aged person you met on the street in England had faught and died for, the edgiest "fuck the old people"

What about Fear and Johnny Ramone and X and Misfits and Dave Smalley and Mojo Nixon and Antiseen and Joe Escalante and...?

...

left wingers become artists
right wingers work so left wingers can become artists

>you have to believe this or else you're not punk

only because lefties are the only people who'd eat up such cynically marketed "music"

You're blowing my mind

Fascism is center left.

>left wingers
>straight

lmao

how many artists work shit jobs

damn

Left-wingers work so right wingers can be rich.

damn..

I'm gay now

alt right is the new punk rock

yes the president is about as punk as it gets

>"i dun werk hard everyday for dem dam libruls"
>continues to work to make right wing CEO's rich af

it's ok, you can't help that you were born fucked up!

wow Trump is the ultimate insult comic

how many of those are real?

they were a shit band desu

>punk will always be contrarian
ftfy

leftists views were "in" when punk actually mattered

>punk will always be left wing
lolno

Everyone seems to be glossing over our precious lil' anti-commie fascist-desu

Right wingers work because they don't have the intuition and natural intelligence to do anything else.

Posadist punk rock when?

Leftist art lost its edge - doesn't trigger protests like it used to in the 80s. Political art isn't transgressive anymore unless it's right wing.

How's welfare treating ya?

...

Funniest president ever

How can punk be left wing in the current political climate? Doesn't being punk mean not fitting into the mainstream narrative?

Ramones aren't punk, they're fucking wack

Holy shit...

*counter culture

really makes you ponder

Gee OP while I might agree with you that the majority of some of the most popular punk bands have politics that lean to the left of center might I remind you of such bands as.....

The F.U.s (Early 80s Boston HC)
Iron Cross (Early 80s D.C. HC)
U.S. Chaos (Early 80s New Jersey HC)

To name but three.

And although we know that Johnny Ramone AKA John Cummings was a right wing conservative who voted for Ronald Reagan twice let's not forget that Michael Graves (Second singer for The Misfits) is a conservative Republican and is quite open about it or that Christine "Exene" Cervenka from X is a right wing nut job who was a "Birther" (Meaning she believed that Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya) a conspiracy theorist who believed that the tragedy of Sandy Hook was a government conspiracy to take away guns from law abiding citizens and she also supports building a wall on the U.S./Mexican border.

>But you probably don't like or listen to any of these bands do you comrade?

>Trilateral Commission goonies laugh and scream for more........

Sounds like something out of the John Birch Society playbook to me!

Who cares? Punk is shit

punk was never left wing or right wing. and punk was always about being politically incorrect.

all the people who started punk: lou reed, the velvet underground, andy warhol, nico, the new york dolls, television, patti smith, the ramones et cetera were all anti political correctness which they perceived as fascism. almost all of them were extremely sexually active with both females and males.

>Ramones aren't punk
the ramones were making punk before the term punk was being used. whether or not you like them does not matter. they are the most punk you can get, together with the entire early 70's new york scene.

daily reminder nihilism has a natural right leaning

Ebin meme friendo

no, nihilism isn't political at all.

Joey Ramone's face makes me wanna puke

Being a faggot will always be left wing too

daily reminder that lou reed had a 4 year long relationship with a tranny

keep telling yourself that

something having definition as political doesn't mean that there aren't underlying politics to every social interaction in a civilized world. the same can be said for economics in any consumption whatsoever.

they were loudly against political correctness and thus modern day liberalism. they wore swatsika's because a lot of the bands (i.e. the stooges, dead boys and the sex pistols) were obsessed with nazism. they didn't praise the nazi's but were merely obsessed with collecting nazi symbols et cetera.

do you even know what nihilism is? nihilism is not political, not economic or anything else.

This.

>am left wing
>touring artist
>work ~60 hour weeks when not on tour, often between 2 jobs
>all of my artist friends, barring those who can support themselves off art, are in the same spot

Right wingers are either senile retiree's, spoiled brat private school cocks who never have and never will have to work a real job, or faggot-ass fat fuck NEETs who think their patchy facial hair, greasy complexion, and asymmetrical and unappealing facial features make them "genetically superior".

Fuck off and die cunt.

the woman in the middle at the bottom was dee dee ramone's girlfriend at this time.

you're both morons. kill yourselves. both right wing and left wing have smart people and absolute idiots voting.

Holy fuck are you retarded? kek

Yup

>how dare you generalize me
>goes on to generalize another group

bravo, retard

no

it is not and never was about being contrarian you fucking retard

>Right wingers are either senile retiree's, spoiled brat private school cocks who never have and never will have to work a real job, or faggot-ass fat fuck NEETs who think their patchy facial hair, greasy complexion, and asymmetrical and unappealing facial features make them "genetically superior".
;^)

no

thank you for the wonderful insight, oh great one

go to a show and stop getting all your music knowledge from rym and wikipedia

nice

Thank you

>it is not and never was about being contrarian

Except it literally was, you fucking mongoloid

the absence of politics leans right.

i think you're forgetting about the group of people who make a majority of financial decisions in the country too there, bud (barring silicon valley which lives in a fantasy cloud of venture capital, backed by conservatives)

I don't think that punk has to align to either political denomination.

The left should forget about punk and start reclaiming guns

>yes, stay divided along the left and right political lines.
>don't work together to fix anything
>people who don't agree with you 100% are the cancer killing this country
>keep fighting amongst yourselves while we give more funding to the police/government agencies and continue to eviscerate the second amendment

I bet your rich daddy gave you a lot of pocket money for sucking his cock everyday, also sitting behind a desk and calling up people to yell at them is not working,

Then why is 90% of it so hell bent on having leftist lyrics and views?

Enjoy your cheeseburgers fatty

>jesus
>2017

the best punk is late 70s feminist punk btw

no it isn't btw

jesus christ

knock that shit off.

>you can't play golf in the snow you stupid ass, plus a bona fide reaction image
ok if that's real that's funny as fuck

REKTED

/THREAD

most leftists have (not liberals)

Everyone in this thread is a loser

*drops mic*

The heat in this thread

Good Gawd

such insight

/thread? Yes

Oh shut the fuck up

I think that's just Iggy Pop

Full ride at the university of my choice is great thanks friendo :).

Shouldn't you be working on your ethnic studies project?

Fascism is and has always been the true punk rock, leftists are just posers. What's more punk than being an hypermasculine fash dudebro, praising Hitler, might makes right and openly advocating for genocide? Everything else is PC bullshit.

this

"[...] it seems to me, it is not an accident that the triumph of leftist ways of thinking has so often led to totalitarian government. The pursuit of abstract social justice goes hand in hand with the view that power struggles and relations of domination express the truth of our social condition, and that the consensual customs, inherited institutions and systems of law that have brought peace to real communities are merely the disguises worn by power. The goal is to seize that power, and to use it to liberate the oppressed [...] totalitarian language does not set out a path of negotiation but instead divides human beings into innocent and guilty groups. Behind the impassioned rhetoric of the Communist Manifesto, behind the pseudo-science of Marx’s labour theory of value, and behind the class analysis of human history, lies a single emotional source – resentment of those who control things. This resentment is both rationalized and amplified by the proof that property owners form a ‘class’. According to the theory, the ‘bourgeois’ class has a shared moral identity, a shared and systematic access to the levers of power, and a shared body of privileges. [...] resentment can be transformed into a governing emotion and a social cause, and thereby gain release from the constraints that normally contain it. This happens when resentment loses the specificity of its target, and becomes directed to society as a whole. That, it seems to me, is what happens when left-wing movements take over. In such cases resentment ceases to be a response to another’s unmerited success and becomes instead an existential posture [...] Such a person does not seek to negotiate within existing structures, but to gain total power, so as to abolish the structures themselves. He will set about destroying the enemy, whom he will conceive in collective terms, as the class, group or race that hitherto controlled the world and which must now in turn be controlled."

No I gotta set up for recording an opera soon and get some topology homework done though.

Newspeak occurs whenever the primary purpose of language – which is to describe reality – is replaced by the rival purpose of asserting power over it. The fundamental speech-act is only superficially represented by the assertoric grammar. Newspeak sentences sound like assertions, but their underlying logic is that of the spell. They conjure the triumph of words over things, the futility of rational argument, and also the danger of resistance. As a result Newspeak developed its own special syntax, which – while closely related to the syntax deployed in ordinary descriptions – carefully avoids any encounter with reality or any exposure to the logic of rational argument. Françoise Thom has argued this in her brilliant study La langue de bois. The purpose of communist Newspeak, in Thom’s ironical words, has been ‘to protect ideology from the malicious attacks of real things’.

Human individuals are the most important of those real things, the obstacles that all revolutionary systems must overcome, and which all ideologies must destroy. Their attachment to particulars and contingencies; their embarrassing tendency to reject what has been devised for their betterment; their freedom of choice and the rights and duties through which they exercise it – all these are obstacles to the conscientious revolutionaries, as they strive to implement their five-year plan. Hence the need to phrase political choice in such a way that individuals have no part in it. Newspeak prefers to speak of forces, classes and the march of history, and regards the actions of Great Men as acceptable subjects for discussion only because Great Men, like Napoleon, Lenin and Hitler, are really the expression of abstract forces, such as imperialism, revolutionary socialism and fascism.6 The ‘isms’ that govern political change work through people, but not from them.

>Fascism is and has always been the true punk rock
>What's more punk than being an hyperautistic reactionary advocating for big government and police control

>fascists and the "alt right" are just another puppet used by the government to maintain political power and keep the people fractured and weak.
same goes for the violent thugs and "progressive" "liberals" that are apart of the antifa movement

left-wing punk is LITERALLY the act of agreeing with the govt & media now. THE ENTIRE MAINSTREAM IS LEFT-WING.

oh, how punk has fallen. lmao.

who cares

punk is dead

I agree that too often liberals don all people in control of power as one uniform ideological group going against the will of the masses but in a purely capitalist system the overarching condition to gain power is through crushing all competition and denying others progress which usually means that those people who have gotten to their position of power are not seeking to better society because they typically have to be ruthless in their market practices.

punk is shit.

>punk is dead
not mainstream =/= dead

Why I had to get the fuck off Twitter.

All my musical heroes are all left wing douchebags. Horrible.

On the second frame of the "Normal" column they should all be white cos whites are the most qualified :3

they probably didn't like you anyway
