The Rules! Of! Punk!

Thought punk didn't have rules, eh? You're wrong, fuckers! Punk is dead and all, so to bring it back we need to lay down the law and.eliminate the poseurs!

1. The number one rule of punk is that you are not punk. Do not, in any situation, refer to yourself as punk. Referring to yourself as punk is automatic grounds for your exclusion. From punk.
2. Everyone except you and your group of friends is a poseur. Not that you call yourself punk.
3. Every time you call someone else a poseur, you become that much more punk. Just don't fuck it up by going and admitting that you're punk. Poseur.
4. Pop-punk is no longer a subgenre of punk. The name pop-punk is now reserved to be used exclusively as an insult for bands that are poseurish.
5. If a band gets more than 500 fans, they are a pop-punk band.
6. Do not get a mohawk, dye your hair funny colors, wear bondage pants, or a studded jacket. This is known as trying too hard.
7. Any association with the store Hot Topic is poseurish. No exceptions.
8. Punk is dead. Shout this often.
9. Remember unity! Too bad everyone around you is such a fucking poseur or you'd have a use for it.
10. Be an asshole every chance you get. Everyone knows that "punk" is synonymous with "asshole". Prove them right!

Know any more rules? Tell me! Or don't. Poseurs.

(If you can't tell this post is a joke, so help me God...)

Comment by Segadoway on March 25, 2009 at 7:01am: you must be close minded, hate hippies and emos and start fights at every occasion

Comment by Khaos on March 25, 2009 at 9:28am: (to amanda) matching jackets? I've never heard of this phenomena! I would have been the bitchy girlfriend who would then find some other nice boys jacket to wear ;-)

Comment by Jazzi on March 25, 2009 at 6:22pm: Me dislike hippies? Of course I do. It doesn't make me close minded. I think sitting on your ass drooling over nature gets you no where. You have to fight for what you want in life. I have never seen a successful person get the place they are by being oh so peaceful and loving.
And emos?? What is there to like about them? They're pathetic and miserable.

Anyways. I did read it I just didn't see the point in posting it and asking for more rules if you were kidding.
My bad.

Comment by Khaos on March 27, 2009 at 10:45pm: Ms. Cuntbag:

I think segadoway was posting all of that for the "rules". Not aimed at you. I could be wrong...but thats how he seems to have aimed it.

NEW RULE:
oh shit i forgot it.
OH WAIT. You can't give a shit about anything. Passion, bah! Erase that word out of your dictionary.

Comment by Segadoway on March 28, 2009 at 4:42am: cuntbag, khaos was right, however hating people that have done nothing wrong is hypocritical, close minded and stupid, it will get you no where and is wrong.
i am proud to call myself a hippie at heart, i am also proud to say i am emo as much as i am punk. if you took the time to find out what those people were actually like, and what they are like, i am sure you would think differently, i encourage you to see things from other peoples point of view, punks are just as stereotyped as them, would you advocate hating punks because people see them as these sarcastic rules imply if that was all you knew of them?

Comment by Larzz Smith on March 28, 2009 at 12:06pm: i completely disagree on most of them rules
basicly if you are your own person
and u dont care about any ones views

that's a part of punk
punk doesnt have posers thats for shitty lil fashion weirdos who think they can make rules
DIY
ripped shirts are the most common
bleached jeans
studded jackets
tartan and bondage pants
n combat or doctor marten boots

you dont need to want to fuck over the government all the time 2 be a punk
bcoz that is for anarchists
anarchists cant also be skinheads who listen to oi ska and punk like most punks

evreyone has a different view on punk coz its about being different and standin out
if you hate hippys then u hate hippyd if u love them then doesnt make u less punk
doesnt make you more punk
its about being fucking different!!!!!!

Comment by Alex on March 28, 2009 at 12:31pm: You have to start fights every day or else your a poseur.
You have to be poor.
And you had better not act at all civilized, absoloutely no "please"s, "thank you"s or holding the door. Unless you slam it in their face at the last second, being intentionally rude is sooo punk.
