Liberal “punks” don’t understand punk.
Well, did he find any?
Nope but the group has made fun of him all week now and it’s hilarious.
Oh boy, it’s the Peach Pits, with their hit songs “Arrest the Rioters”, “Corporations are people too”, “Fuck the Disabled”, “Outsource for efficiency”, and “One Bathroom One Gender”!
How come they’re not more popular!?
I’m sure you can find some Maoist/Trotskyist punks if that’s what you want
I got something to say
I saved a baby today
And it doesn’t matter much to me as long as it’s not on welfareI got something to say!
Your mother consented today!
And it doesn’t matter much to me! As long as she enjoyed herself and had a pleasurable time!
My first thought was that most punk bands view “liberal” as an insult, but that’s probably not what they mean…
No this guy definitely meant he wanted some mouth breathers.

90% of punks are not liberals. In fact, the UK punk scene in the 70s arose as a reaction to Thatcher’s neoliberalism. Punks hate liberals.
Punks be like: “NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!!!”
Ah, punks. Those famously establishment-loving scamps.
They love the cops!

“hi we’re a quintet of vegan anarchist transbians, fuck the liberals!”
Actually, the gen z youth tend to view the word “lesbian” as liberal. The only reason you wouldn’t just say gay woman is if you think female homosexuality is different to enby and male homosexuality, which is a right wing myth. Older gay women accept the regressive terms but the youth these days are leaving them behind. In 20 years, the word will be viewed the same as words like “transvestite” and “homo”. It’ll be old people slang.
wait, are we not discoursing he/him and transmasc leabians any more???
What’s the point when the entire word is originated in misogyny?
A guy with a mohawk on stage streaming about how you need to conform to the establishment and listen to the man?
Nah, they want racist skinhead punks. Back when I was in the scene (I know, shut up grandpa) they were around. They got kicked out of pretty much every place we played because they were fucking shitbags repping the aryan nation bullshit and no one wanted to be around them. So they’d have their own Nazi bars and shitty venues to play. One group I knew played for a lot of events at a local racist biker gang clubhouse.
They may not be skinheads anymore, but the type still exists. Biker gangs (not motorcycle clubs as a whole, the specific subculture which makes up a very tiny percent of both riders and clubs) are very anti-establishment and many of them are at least racially exclusive, with many more leaning into outright hate crimes.
“One percenters” is the term for the criminal motor cycle clubs. They are despicable, anti American pieces of shit.
I have known exactly one MC that tried to be inclusive of LGBTQ+ people, women, and non-white people. They ended up being forced to be a supporter MC for the dominant MC of the area–you do this if you don’t want to have ‘unfortunate incidents’ happen to you–and ended up not being allowed to have women and black/Latino people in their club. They disbanded following the death of one of their founding members.
Yeah, I wasn’t sure how many people knew that so I was trying to invoke a specific image.
You’re right. They are absolute pieces of shit, and there are groups that cosplay it as well. I ride (solo, not into MCs in general) and run into 1%ers sometimes. I run into the wannabes more often, who are also slightly different kinds of pieces of shit and in a lot of cases are more dangerous to individuals because they’re trying really hard to be taken seriously.
Most MCs are pretty neutral and just like to ride. Some are quite lovely (BACA generally, and some of the ones who do a bunch of charity stuff) and a bunch are slightly shitty have some backwards ass attitudes.
The MC I was talking about is into organized crime (mostly meth and gun running) and white power.
The hell is a liberal punk band?
The moron means “is conservative”. You’d think a punk band would either be very far right or very far left, and so, one would hope the person would know a centrist/liberal/neoliberal punk band would be a little bit are…
A redundant name.
No, the opposite, there are exactly 0 liberal punk bands, liberal is not a synonym for commie/leftist…
Or do you know some punks who are way into means testing and bureaucracy?
What? How? Never heard a punk song about the struggles of… what, like, private firms? Unless sarcastic.
OOP doesn’t mean liberal the same way you mean liberal…
How do they mean it?
Leftish. OOP wants Nazi punks
Probably someone like the Sex Pistols who wound up tories
NPFO
God. I miss the days of these requests and bridge burning as a young punk. “Oh you don’t want us to mention x y z” First song talk about whatever weird thing they don’t want you to. “Oh you don’t want us to swear?” First song getting the crowd to chat give me a f.u.c.k. “Oh we need to turn it down?” Crank it on the second song. We are young and angry and we were never expecting to get paid this all means nothing to us. Side note. Always be nice to the staff and sound person they are just doing their bullshit jobs.
Not hard. Plenty of punks are commies, most are anarchists or anarchy adjacent
Yeah but unfortunately this person is probably using the Americanized version of liberal.
Unfortunately, there are nazi punk bands as well.
Yeah but nazi punks fuck off!
So that’s the issue right there, liberal can be used for both sides of the political spectrum
No it can’t. It refers to centrists. If you’re a Nazi, it refers to people left of you. If you’re an anarchist, it refers to people right of you. It’s the same group.
