It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

"ohhhh, punk has been made too widely palatable and for everyone. REAL punks are like presbyterian minister mr rogers!" there are still hardcore bands out there! you can go see them if you want! i bet this person would listen to the ramones and go "umm, he wants to sniff glue? are we glorifying drug addiction now? this is SO not punk!"

there are people in the notes going "yeah! this is so true!"

i think this is part of a broader trend of people feeling to need to justify everything they enjoy, it can't just be a show they remember fondly from when they were a kid, it needs to be punk

”I think Ronald Reagan was the best President of my lifetime." -Johnny Ramone

Extremely punk

The guys in Skrewdriver probably sniffed glue too, just using drugs isn't really good by itself

punk is about being a contrarian asshole, that's the only requirement. that's why it's good a lot of the time but also contains some massive reactionaries

and i wasn't making a statement about drug use being ipso facto a good thing, simply that the vibes on the people who sincerely say "mr rogers was punk" are not right.

I would agree with that statement, and also with what FlakesBongler said about it being an aesthetic. Ramones were definitely pioneers of punk and many of them were chuds.

I'd rather listen to The Clash out of these early punk bands.

No, Punk is about being ugly.

I was right then, Stan Rogers is punk
