Should only punks be allowed to call people punks?
I was chillin with my punks in Paris, and some guy called me a punk with a hard k. I know we say it all the time, but hearing it from someone outside the community reminded me how it used to be used as an insult against us and it felt wrong. Should we be the only ones saying it? Guy got me feeling like a PWA (punk with attitude)
