These are 2 quotes by the German punk rock band Die Ärzte. One from their song Ist das noch Punkrock? (Is it/this still punk rock?) And the other from their song Punk ist… (Punk is…) In which they’re making fun of gatekeeping and giving a shit about how people call it.
As if an anarchist would care about narrow-minded opinions lol.
Fun fact: their drummer’s name, who sings punk ist …, is Bela B., so it’s a BB quote, not some GG
Depends on the gates being kept. Belittling people over what bands they’ve seen on their jackets, not dressing the part but living the life, enjoying music other than pure punk rock; that’s all performative bs. Making sure the people hanging around the scene in your community aren’t bigots trying to recruit/twist the message, predators trying to get access to vulnerable individuals, and pushers trying to find a new market; gate’s closed and it will be aggressively enforced.
Well one of their song goes “we’re only hanging around at schools, selling crack to small children, singing obscene songs and go out late in the evening” but that’s sarcasm lol. Their guitarist and main singer is a straight edge pescetarian. They’re fun punks but also serious. One of their last big songs was “Demokratie”, teaching people in these trying times to not let it happen again here in Germany

Fuck yeah. Sounds like my kind of jam, I’ll have to give them a whirl.
