ITT: I rant against posers

seriously, wtf is with posers these days? If you're going to indulge in one of the many variants of youth subculture, in this case, punk, you should at least meet some basic requirements in order to dress accordingly lest you be a poser. Such requirements may include-
-mohawk, leather jacket, studded belt (as we all know, clothing is a vital component if one is going to be punk)
-hating the jocks at your high school, but secretly wanting to bang their girlfriends
- listen to the Casualties and Exploited
- make fun of emo kids and possibly beat them up if the situation necessitates such action because, as we all know, emo kids are gay

if the above requirements are not met, you are likely a poser and must be ostracized and ranted against by the true punx. that is all.

A small collection of artistic individuals express themselves from within, and a million just copy what they see.

It comes down to imitators, manipulators and the actual creators.

Fuck what people think.

Visionary or Reactionary...

Which group would you rather be in?

99 percent fall into imitators, and this includes most punk rockers. But seriously are they into advertising something that is all that terrible?

In my day, I not only wanted to bang the jock's girlfriends, I did bang the jock's girlfriends.

Heh excelent I am a poser, but I don't care and I like to make people stare. But I digress. Mohawk - No don't have one, Leather Jacket - do have one but it hasn't fitted me for quite a few years now, it has zero studs and zero paint on it. Studded belt - I wouldn't be seen dead in a studded belt and that goes doubly for a dog collar, yeah thats right I wouldn't be seen double dead in a dog collar. Hating Jocks at High School - I'm 46 but then High School never ends, I'm not sure what Jocks are if it's people who like sports then maybe I'm a Jock. I can't stand the Casualties or the Exploited and I can't stand the Rezillos. I don't have a problem with Emo kids, I don't like their music or silly floppy fringes and I don't think being whiney counts as an emotion but it's their life so let em get on with it. Emo kids are gay ? lots of people are gay. Hey I failed the punk test. Huray for me.

Our paths were not so different, apparently.

Man, they always got so pissed when you did it, too.

At first, but by the end of highschool, everyone just assumed their girlfriend was going to sleep with me, and didn't take it personally. If you stay in the same dating pool long enough, you don't lose your girlfriend, you just lose your turn.
