She got confused and misspelled ‘poser’.

Never thought about this before but in what way is she a punk if she isn’t rebelling against at least one thing?

I’ll just concile myself by saying she meant punk fashion sense. She loves punk fashion sense but also loves the government and would never ever ever rebel against it. Her dad’s a policeman and her mom’s a school principal.

Yeah… ‘punk’ is an actual lifestyle, maybe you could say an ideology, or parts of an ideology, or a framework for ideology.
When you just wear it as a costume, you’re not only missing the point, you’re disposing of the meaning the style is supposed to signify… you’re gentrifying a concept, and very likely commodifying it.
Now of course I don’t expect every young person, young adult to … grasp all of that… would be very stupid to ‘well ackshually’ some kid just trying to express themselves as unique, in some way.
But maybe, hopefully, some of em will read this, and it’ll spur them to look into the actual history, the actual ideas… realize that how you live is incredibly more important than what you look like, while doing so.

Yea and I don’t even get what appeals someone to the aesthetic if they’re not rebellious.

I despise her so much.

I’m so angry at her that I can’t breathe.

And I just noticed that number 3’s crazy hair color is just black.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Haha, yeah, but i guess she did that because too many people were hitting on her?

Plot twist: her natural hair color is “several”
kboos1@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yeah it’s a dumb meme. 1 & 3 are clearly claiming false persecution for sympathy, because the way you present yourself is the way you wish to be perceived. 2 is hard racism.
It only works to poke fun at the irony of a stupid premise because only one of these things is a real issue.
fushuan@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
1 is the only one that doesn’t make sense.
3 though… I want to be perceived as someone with fantasy coloured hair, you are right. Why are you making the equivalence of crazy colours -> crazy person? That’s what the image is denouncing, and you criticising.
kboos1@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Out of curiosity, because I wish to understand your reasoning. What you’re saying that even though they wish to dye their hair in unique bright fantasy colors that they wish to remain anonymous and inconspicuous in public. Logically that seems like the opposite. If I also like having unique colored hair then I should ignore that we have something in common and not draw attention to it?
Please take no offense, I genuinely want to know your reasoning.
petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
I think you might be confusing a few things?
It’s not that it’s done for no attention whatsoever, it’s that the phrase “they’re just doing this for attention” is a way that people dismiss each other, and ironically, over-fixate on people who just want to pay for their groceries and leave, you know?
By being fashionable in socially unapproved ways, people will assume you’re being vain as a euphemism for their relative disgust, and vanity loses you a lot of social capital—aura, basically. They’ll rather think of you as prissy than serious.
But you can comment on a person’s hair if you like it, same as you would a band t-shirt for a group you both like.

I think you missed the point on 2.
kboos1@lemmy.world 1 day ago
In what way? Seems racist to me.
ickplant@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This is a very valid question.
zikzak025@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Maybe she’s just rebelling against the idea of rebellion itself.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Being punk against punk is just ska.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Only if she also plays a brass instrument and/or tolerates someone doing so near her.
