Okay, boomer.
>Its nothing but conformity with those people.
Does all your experience with punks end at modern bands? 'Cause they are the least representative of what punk used to represent.

everything punk degenerates into aestheticization because its founded upon aesthetics, making it all too easy to assimilate into the capitalist system, its extremely ironic and very sad because the goal of punk was to do exactly the opposite
there is a sense in which anti-fascism turns into fascism (in the way that Walter Benjamin describes) because of this, where radical politics is hollowed out by emotivism and performance, its the aesthetic expression of politics that depoliticizes
i was never a fan of punk music but i liked what they were doing, i have anarchist friends and i love them dearly, but even they acknowledge that this has happened to some extent, Bookchin hit the nail on the head in his critique of lifestylism

Punk is a self parody.
The fact that it began as some genuine political statement is laughable.

Doesn't mean you aren't acting like one.

Very well, if you're
gonna dismiss punk because of some woke radlib posers who like it because it's what "leftists" are expected to do then neither Marxism should be taken seriously either because guess what, it got co-opted by radlibs too.
