Punk rock influencers are some of most blatantly insecure and shallow people I've ever seen/encountered in my life. They're WAY up there on the cringe list as well.

Punk rock influencers? What an oxymoron...
@dominic_persephone1811 ай бұрын
Back in the 90s The idea that someone would want to become a label or a brand was against everything punk rock stood for.Everyone around me was against consumerism and corporate companies taking over record shops. At least that was what I remember .I cannot take the word punk rock influencer seriously. Especially if they are trying to promote products.Thats why I like ur channel. Im here for the content not to buy a product.....

@@yaknow8493 Who's gatekeeping ? If you'd have actually been alive in the mid to late 70s and witnessed the inception of what would become known as punk rock you would understand why I despise postcard punks like Erin. Punk was more or less a DIY culture, it wasn't about spikey hair, ripped jeans and painted leather jackets. The 'uniforms' of the postcard punks came along well after the original punk scenes demise. Do yourself a favour and look into the origins of the UK punk scene.
@yaknow849310 ай бұрын
@@marley67uk77 So because that way of dressing didn’t develop at the inception of the genre people that rock the style aren’t legit? That kinda sounds like textbook gatekeeping actually lol. You’re acting like punk rock history and the fact that it was a DIY movement isn’t extremely well documented and commonly known. This is not exclusive knowledge. Who the fuck cares if people enjoy wearing spikey hair and leather jackets? Giving any kind of a shit about that is corny as hell. Discouraging people from dressing how they want and expressing freely for the sake of gatekeeping a scene from 40 years ago kinda seems like the least punk rock thing you could do. Super goofy.

Punks who dress plain: "punk styles are for posers, this is a LIFEstyle". Punks who wear 70s/80s punk styles: " posers who just listen don't get that this is a LIFEstyle" Punk in the 21st century has become purist and gatekeepers on all sides.

I'm kind of in the mind of tolerating a little cringe to draw more people ibto punk. You don't wanna go too far in alienating what punk is al about, but being a little image-based like Eric Micklow seems harmless, and might get someone being like, "She looks cool. I wonder what these patches on her jacket represent. *googles bands" That's partly how it happened for me. I saw punks at a park at a really young age. Thought they looked cool. I was already into metal, alt rock, and grunge early on because of my cousins and siblings. That seed stayed in my mind, and then in my preteens, a friend got me into Green Day. Another owned THPS, and those two things really sent me down the rabbithole of punk.

Erin is very much 'look at me' with everything she does, but there doesn't seem much doubt that she likes punk, and she does interview loads of bands and promote them. Nobody beyond the very biggest bands makes money from punk, so that's not her driver, so it really comes largely down to people hating her look. If she looked ordinary I doubt she would get 10% of the abuse. Zombie punk might have some unpleasant stories following him, but he's been around for years, long before he was on social media.

None of you really care about the punk scene happening over here in Asia. Indonesia, Burma even Thailand real punks even us in Vietnam. I've personally never met her but she chases down the bands and interviews them at shows I know from experience never easy. Its not easy trying to make it these days on the internet. She interviewed Sammy from Fang great guy but has a crazy back story. Look it up. That is your punk rock homework for today from JB.
