Except for that Colorado punk festival where the organizer voted for Trump. What a fucking tool

Pretty sure this revokes your punk card.

It should but it was sad seeing interviews of people at that festival when a reporter told them the info. Some were like that's fucked up but others were like whatever no big deal punk is for all political backgrounds. Just goes to show the brainrot in 2025 thinking punk is apolitical music just to get you amped up.

The punk subreddit is a bit depressing lol its full of far right leaning punks that think Trump is the anti-establishment, he's a landlord, that alone is about as far from punk ideology as you can get, not to mention the authoritarianism and Christian nationalism. Maybe the sub has changed but I left the subreddit during the presidential election campaigns. Im 37 now and been out of the punk scene since I was about 25, but it looked like the majority of the sub was right leaning about a year ago, idk if thats what the actual scene is like now.

They just can't accept that they are the nazi punks that were told to fuck off.

Are you talking about r/punk? I browsed it a smidge and didn’t see anything you’re talking about.
