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 Ryan 'Pigeon' Westwood on September 1, 2009 at 10:41am: nothing to do with it but why is it spelt poseur not poser

Comment by zero on September 1, 2009 at 2:50pm: "Poseur" is an actual word ("a person who pretends to be what he or she is not : an affected or insincere person"), as unnecessarily snobbish and frenchy as it may seem. I used it because I find it irritating and felt it fit the tone of the "rules".

Comment by Clint Casualty on September 2, 2009 at 4:37pm: Whew' glad you were joking.. man why do "Punks" have to be so stereotypical.. but you can't blame them.. everyone goes through that phase, of Punk this and Punk that.. =p
