Because there's nothing more 'gnarly' than customising:

How many rips should I have in my jeans to be truely rebellious?

Unless Luella Bartley answers them, I'm not interested.

hey. just so you know, I'm not gonna 'answer' your questions. I was just really referring to the youtube thingumy. Besides. anyone whose actually seen me would know that, well, I'm not really qualified.

even you can be a proud punk

It was a joke, I wasn't refering to you at all. And YOU DO look like a punk, in a good way.

I feel misled. I thought you were taking over the "Ask Pookie" mantle, but only answering questions on your specialized subject.

I didn't get a chance to watch this yet, but does it include tips on how to carve "I NEED A FIX" in your chest the best way? (I vote for a safety pin)

That 's ridiculous, the guy talks like an animal reporter. Too serious.
Nice comb...

that's false advertising man!

hahaha ripped jeans are gay.

look at this drug addict


look at this stupid bitch. her jeans ar so riped they are just a belt and butt flap! hulk hogan's daughter

here she is again with the same jeans but different show


now these ripped jeans are gay

I was going to ask, what was the best color to achieve that punk look, but since you are not answering, I will take my questions elsewhere.

punk fashion=oxymoron

Go buy/steal a guitar and make some music/noise and shut the fuck up...fucking youtube dweeb.
I blame Malcolm McLaren.

Punks are so 30 years ago, let alone last season.

It was a joke, dimwit. Joke, you know, like when someone cracks a joke, and you laugh? A joke.

Actually no, punk is so last year.

I wrote a long reply to this and also about the topic of the thread but then I thought that it's not worth it. You're not worth it. Punk!

I predicted her and her sister would end up doing incest rimjob porno, and she looks to be getting close!

The perrenial problem with punk is that the people who made punk often looked the shit while the people who listen to punk look shit.

I am aware that the Pistols (who looked the shit) were not the first punk band. I am also aware that the Ramones, the Stooges, most garage bands, VU and, if you want to take liberties with punk (as people invariably do), Woody Guthrie looked the shit.

I have a theory that the main difference between a punk band and a hardcore band is whether or not you look the shit. Because most hardcore bands (except Refused and a couple of others [blah blah shape of punk isn't really hardcore blah blah]) look like a bunch of turds wiped on the loo roll of popular consciousness.

So, my question:

Dear Mr Rail,

I have a piercing in my forehead; are rings or studs in this year?

Yours,

Patrick O'Dentist.

I can't tell if this is well-observed humour or entirely risible.

Good aide memoire, me.

The AIDS your parents have?

Dude.

I know LOTS of Hardcore fans. I know lots of Hardcore bands. I know fuck all about Hardcore. I have friends in the Hardcore scene coming out of my arse. Unanimously and without exception, all of them like Refused. More than Black Flag. More than Bad Brains. Just because I'll happily admit knowing fuck all about hardcore doesn't mean you can come in with some sort of faux-intellectualism about what's really hardcore and what's really not hardcore. It doesn't matter. Throw a stone in the ugly, sexless pool of hardcore fans and you WILL hit a refused fan.

black flag is overrated.

there, I said it

hard-core also hard·core (härd'kôr', -kōr')
adj.

1. Intensely loyal; die-hard. example: a hard-core secessionist; a hard-core golfer.
2. Stubbornly resistant to improvement or change. example: hard-core poverty.
3. Extremely graphic or explicit. example: hard-core pornography.

Ok sway, YOU are hardcore, not Refused. Glass of wine?

Good for you. Give yourself a punch in the face. It helps prove your point a little better.

Sway, you have AIDS. I'm getting in the shower, then I'm going out to see a gay band with a load of girls, one or more of whom I may have sex with. If anyone would continue to tell Sway that he has AIDS, the bad kind, the kind that makes your face all AIDS-y, that'd be excellent.

To re-cap: I said something right. Sway didn't. Sway has AIDS.

Could've saved a lot of time by just saying that. Oh, efficacy, why hast thou forsaken me?

swa(y) - You're hardcore stubborn. Does that help?

God, you really are insane. What threats or begging do you speak of?

Anyway, I'm off too. Another exhibition opening tonight. Another joyful and decadent event.

Hardcore stubborn was too kind. I've checked the thesaurus, and I prefer "hardcore pig-headed".

swa(y) - you're hardcore pig-headed.

Or, as synthetically would have it, you're 'ardcore pig-'eaded

I'm going home now, to eat a salad, with some felafel. Which is neither punk nor hardcore. Possibly a little hippy?

sonicl, you forgot to add albini esque when describing him.

Punk fashion, another indication of the hypocritical "anti-establish" rhetoric of the so-called punk movement.

richard hell's girlfriend cut up all his clothes and he was broke. you do the math.

Man, this is stupid, but anyway:

Refused were hardcore. They were a huge part of the hardcore movement in Umea which influenced a huge majority of Sweden and then internationally too.
The Shape of Punk to Come was not Refuseds first album. That was their album that they wanted to progress and make something more out of punk music, hence the title. And they did a splendid job of it too. Therefore, what's more punk than that?

Anyway, listen to their first couple of albums, they're standard hardcore albums (well maybe "Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent" was more of a sign of what was to come from them. But still very indicative of hardcore), hence why they've got nothing on The Shape...

Hey punk fashion is alright, proper fuckin rebellious. Anyway, kate moss is a punk and she's into fashion so, i dunno. yeah

You had to mention felafels, didn't you?

Now I crave and my belly rumbles.

In a philosophy that preaches about self-expression against the confines of an ideology, having a discernible fashion is the exact opposite of an anti-herd stance.

History has show time and again that bands have had to "leave" punk rock because what they were doing didn't agree with the established punk dogma.
