Looking like a punk rocker...

June 8th 2008 02:02
So, following on from yesterdays post I thought ok. Let see how one can look like a punk.

So, looking at the list (see previous post) and other peoples "views" on how to be a punk, here is my guide to looking like a punk.
(please note that this is by no means a way that I feel about punks. You could be dressed in a ball frigging gown for all I care! - this is going off how people view "punks" and what we are presented with by the media, stars etc)


1. Wear a t-shirt that makes you stand out....Ok. lets look at this one. There are a number of shops that sell "punk" tees. It says one thing you can do how ever is make your own tops by printing a copy of say The Clash, put the image on the t-shirt. Here are a few examples:



2. Spike and/or color your hair. The classic punk look of course is the mo-hawk. But there are so many to choose from. Here are a selection of 'hawks' to pick from, any are acceptable.



3. Make up. Back in the 70's make up was all the range. It seems to be mainly the women but basically its the really made up eyes, like over the top and really red lippy.


4. Studs are important, a good row leather belt is essential. Hmmmm.... belts are good to hold your pants up. There are only so many studded belts you can picture here so I'll just put one picture here....


5. If someone gives you sh*t or calls you a poser, give them the evil stare. Ok. I just think this one is so funny, it is defo how a punk should act.. haha.


6. Get a tattoo. So this is a pre-requisite for being a punk. You have to get a tattoo. Interesting. Lol. I've just realised how angry doing this is making me.... how stupid some people are putting these regulations on how to be a punk grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!


7. Start your own band. It's the only way you can be truly punk. HAHAHAHAHA!


8. Listen to punk rock. Seriously. Listen to what ever you want. Its what moves you. BUT if you go by the list, listen to The Clash, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, UK Subs, Decendants and the like... old school.




Ok, so that is just a sample of the things you must do to be a punk rocker - if reading the internet is anything you want to go by.

My personal opinion? Just be your self. Don't worry about what other people think, as long as your happy and living your life who really gives a f**k what other people think!!!!!!!!

Bob Brown

Besides the awesome alliteration in the name, Bob Brown is also an awesome person.

I suppose I should be calling him Senator Bob Brown, for obvious reasons really. He's an Australian senator of the Greens Party, and I just heard him give a talk. And what can I say?? I'm in love [ Click here to read more ]

PS3

March 20th 2007 07:46
I couldn't think of anything else to talk about, so I'm just gonna bitch about the PS3.

Honestly, in terms of number crunching, yes, I am impressed. But who cares. Graphics really don't matter that much, and unless you have a huge LCD tv, there's no difference between any of the latest consoles anyway

I've run out of good Punk songs to talk about for now, so I'll give you the lyrics to a song that needs no satirising, for it does so to itself.

Work Choices

I don't know if anyone outside of Australia knows what's happening in our once cool country.

Thanks to John Howard, and the new industrial relations laws (considerably worse then those that were recently introduced and then repealed in France), workes rights have been... well, workers now have no rights

That's right, today you get a review of some trashy tv. Cos I'm too lazy to do the follow up to the last post.

Anyway, the Australian recording industry awards, ARIAs were given out recently. Now, being in the room when they were on, I suffered seeing Wolfmother being congratulated for their butchery of the english language

What is Wrong with the US Army?

October 26th 2006 23:55
and I'm not talking about morally, that would take more then a single blog entry to cover.

But no, it seems that, despite having the worlds largest defence budget (see below), the US is incredible incapable of actually winning wars. Or perhaps I should reconsider that. They won against the British, in the war of independence, they beat, themselves in the Civil War, and were a major contributor to success in the Second World War.

Anarchist's Cookbook

September 25th 2006 06:17
For those of you who don't know, firstly, stop living under a rock, and secondly, it's essentially a manual describing how to create improvised bombs and the like, and also criticism of the Vietnam War. It has been banned in many countries, but one must ask, is it right to do that?

The criticisms leveled at the book are as follows

Let Them Eat War

September 16th 2006 01:50
... Is the name of a song by 'Bad Religion', about which the Lead Singer said "[it is] based on the thought that the current administration puts so much money into this war while our own poor are struggling just to eat."

It makes sense, the US spends $441.6 Billion on 'Defence' as opposed to $367.0 billion on unemployment and welfare

Punks and Hippies

September 14th 2006 11:39
This may end as a 2 part post, due to my rambling nature. What I'm trying to work out is, why do so many Punks hate hippies?

I mean, both cultures are (with few exceptions) opposed to war and conservatism, facism, basically anything right wing. And believe me, that leaves the two groups with plenty of enemies, they don't need to be creating more
