It’s ironic that there are so many prerequisites and requirements to be a fan of punk, while being a punk musician requires nothing. You don’t even need to know how to play an instrument or sing.

Unironically.
“As something of a punk myself,” there is waaay too much cynicism in the modern world.

I really think that that’s mostly just a loud minority being asshats. In my local scene the focus is more on being and expressing yourself in a way you like. Sure the music might be a bit more extreme than popular punk bands but in the end we all stand for the same common goals of equality and self expression, and excluding people for “not being punk enough” is a shit take and should die out real quick

Just don’t be a right-wing loser and you’re welcome to any punk rock show, wearing a tuxedo or a space suit if you want.

Went to a show last week and a guy in a button up and corduroy pants started talking to me. He was new but I embraced him as much as a fellow punker as I would someone with torn up jeans, dyed hair and studs. In the end you should be able to wear what you feel comfortable in, whether it be a suit or a crust punk fit
