Raging at the machine. Always angry. Never conforming to society. Music is everything.

I'm pretty sure I might be the oldest person in this group at the age of 33. That's a great thing, since I was worried spacehey would be full of nostalgic aging millennials like me who missed old school myspace. ANYWAY

For me, it's all about non-conformity, not only in terms of not conforming to the capitalist society we live in but it's also about not conforming to society and it's expectations they put on you, to control you, to make themselves feel better while trying to drain your entire personality and sense of self, punk is freedom in rage.

A punk to me is: just someone who doesn’t care of anything. Follows the DYI ethic with the shizz they do:) sorry if this sounds vague but it’s my thought of what really is a ounk

Punk to me is not conforming. Aesthetically, musically, politically. Everything. You're against the establishment, you fight against the systems that keep people down, and you look fucking cool doing it. Even if you do something small to protest, if you can't do a full on riot or take out the guillotine every Saturday, just a little malicious compliance can be punk.
Punk to me is being afraid of the system because of what it can do and still pushing back in your own way. When we all work together, when we all fight for our rights and the rights of our brothers, sisters, and anything in between or outside of that - that's punk.
And that's what I am. Or at least, what I aspire to be.

Punk is:
Style, Music, Ideology and doing somthing to change word to better.
Somthing what is difffrent from "normal" somthing that is "wierd"(includes opinions about things in the word). Not accepting what is happening in the word (capitalism, police agression, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc.)
but also having fun, making friends and a live style.
this is what I am as a punk and what I think punk is
//I want to apologise if I said somthing wrong english is not my first language

Punk to me is being apart of the scene, whether thats local or even online. Yeah music, politics, philosophy are important but that comes with being in the scene. so to me if youre in the punk scene then youre punk.

to me it just means thinking for yourself, not wanting to be a victim of conformity. to do something because you think its right and not because someone told you to. spiking hair and shit has nothing to do with being punk in my opinion, but rather becoming your own person and living life the way you want to.

It's about the mindset and not about how many bands you know.
Anti-Capitalist and Anti-Conformist probably. Anti-establishment too of course.
And also unity through empathy and indivduality.
