Remember when it was cool and rebellious to be on the left? I go to a skate park these days and I see BLM and rainbow flags spray painted and on top of that every giant corporation supports the same agenda. It’s not the counter culture but so many are convinced it somehow is. What happened?

Remember when it was cool and rebellious to be on the right? Oh yeah, never.

>Remember when it was cool and rebellious to act cool and rebellious for no reason at all?
Yeah. The BLM/Rambow shit is just people wearing what they like or "supporting" a group they like. No one is trying to be rebellious. If a Kurt Cobain or tawdry group of Beat poets showed up today they would be laughed at for being the spoiled, pampered idiots they always were. The mask fell off long ago. People just like what they like. Drake, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish (however you spell her name) aren't rebellious either, but they're all majorly popular. The concept of counter culture is outdated. And I hate to afford David Sperg Wallace any credit, but he was right: the closest thing you'll get to somebody being a rebel today is a genuinely kind hearted person who isn't jockeying for clout.

there is no true rebellion or counter culture anymore, user. everything has been subsumed by the liberal capitalist corporate oligarchy, everything has been commodified, everything reduced to nothing but mere dollar value. and you and all sides of the non-existent and entirely performative political “spectrum” eat it up like General Mills brand cereal. you think of yourself and your value in economic terms. are you productive? are you worth anything? do you have anything to offer? is there money in your bank account? every type of cultural identity in the western hegemonic economic sphere is defined by its consumption of products. different products = different identity, but they all consume. and despite this commonality these consumers spend their free time, while not consuming or being consumed, fighting with each other about what are the best products to consume, which products make a person good or bad to consume, etc. there is no culture to “counter” anymore. just dollars.

Right wingers created existence and the world, we created heaven and hell.
Leftists are a new phenomenon that perpetually deconstructing things built by others whilst masturbating over their own purity
Bunch of slack jawed faggots
Besides I am fucking ripped

Half of the Ramones crew were rightoids, you retard.

rightwinger larping as a neutral third party because he doesn't have the balls to stand up for his beliefs, how original

It's not really cool to be on the right. When right-wingers act like this it comes off as cringe, like when Christians try to get kids to care about Jesus with Christian rock. it's just lame. Right-wingers can be edgy and funny but aside from that they are really lame and it's so easy to poke holes in their beliefs. I hate modern leftists too but the whole idea of, "Counter culture is always cool". Is fucking retarded and just a way right-wingers try and convert kids to their side.
Aaron Ramirez
Fixed
Gavin Johnson
Politics were never cool, you just grew up and started to give a shit
you most likely had a cringe phase where you thought one side was better than the other and then switched
if you're really old, you switched back
Elijah Smith
This. Not a single cool person on this planed who happens to also be obsessed with politics.

Remember when it was cool and rebellious to be a city slicker? I go to a general store these days and I see fancy german cars and park avenue manicures and on top of that every giant corporation supports the same agenda. It’s not the counter culture but so many are convinced it somehow is. What happened?
Nolan Thompson
That applies just as well to the right that shills for tax cuts to the rich and letting big business have their way with the planet.
A perfect system, with no real recourse for opposition. Marvelous isn't it?
Xavier Jenkins
Punk was never about conformity. It was about pretending inferiority was a virtue to make the person feel good about their shitty life. The inferior people are still punk even when they are conformist
Jason Ortiz
It's punk to be truly anti-government no matter who is in charge and what policies they pass. Unfortunately this is impossible because human nature will always favor some issues over others blah blah
Isaac Cook
What's sad is, in your meme-addled adolescent mind(s), you probably actually believe this. Your nursing home adventures will be awfully frightful when you discover that not only do your cultural successors despise you by virtue of your existence as modifiers, but that they openly abuse you as well. You'll have a blast. Hope you love the future you're helping to build!

No the right in my country still does this. That's all the western right ever does.
The American right does this the most. Last time the Republicans were in power they cut taxes, deregulated for big business, and gutted environmental protections. Like they always do.
Nicholas Garcia
I am so punk I don't even care about being punk. In my free time and especially during summer, I often go to a nice river near me and read a book while listening to some smooth jazz. I don't need a subculture because I am pretty fine with my identity.
Last but not least, you are a giant faggot if you don't just come here to shitpost and actually care about the internet fights on this site

their entire electoral platform is all about "we're going to get rid of all the fags, trannies, and niggers!" but then when they are in power they dont do shit except cut taxes

You don't even know what any of those words mean. Think for yourself for once instead of regurgitating young turks talking points.

But that's the exact opposite of being punk. Being punk isn't blue hair and complying with corporate demands. Its sticking it to the man. Not advertising for the man for free and advocating for the man...
Zachary Morris
Yeah all of that tl;dr is worth jack shit because "right" is a blanket term that applies to yourself if you really aren't on board with the woke shit.

To be a punk is to be a faggot, that's the original definition and they are the genuine article.
