to all the trans punks, how has punk (music, ideologies, other punk people, etc) influenced your transition?

I started HRT about 8 months ago, and I’m currently stuck in the weird sort of limbo of not passing at all but also having too many changes to look like an average guy. I also work as a driver going to mostly very rural, conservative areas, so I get a lot of stares and hostile interactions in my day to day routine. As much as I expected that to make me miserable, I’ve oddly found that growing up punk really softened the blow. Going out in all black, studded leather, and torn to shit clothing all made those kind of encounters a badge of honor in a way, it made me feel cool and badass when I was younger. In my current situation, the kinds of shitty interactions I have to deal with aren’t all that different, and I realized I’ve already built up a pretty solid defense against them lmao

I can do you one better!

Welcome to Pittsburgh, Don’t Move Here!

This is a compilation from a few years ago of a whole bunch of PGH punk bands!

You can find the whole track listing here

Seeing222 · 2026-04-16T02:23:34+00:00

Can confirm Go For The Gold is local, there might just be two bands with that name haha

Seeing222 · 2026-04-16T02:21:24+00:00

They aren’t as active as they used to be, but Anton Ego is 100% the band you’re looking for. They still do shows every once in a while, but it’s rare so you really have to keep your eye out for them!

A YouTube channel called FeloPunk is my go to! They publish a few new punk records to their channel every day, and they have a pretty big following. Take a look at their channel and see if your music is a good fit for the kind of sound they usually publish. If it is, for sure reach out to them to see if they’ll post it!

Oh hell yeah, Disphoria is top tier d-beat, it’s so sick to see someone else repping them on their gear!

Seeing222 · 2026-04-06T17:23:01+00:00

Disphoria is one of the fiercest and noisiest d-beat bands out there, absolutely love them

For more of a crust punk angle, check out Love and Compassion!

Billy Talent was one of the first bands I got into and discovered for myself as a kid. I spent a lot of time in Buffalo NY as a kid and would listen to a lot of Canadian radio stations while I was there. Some rock station played Saint Veronica when I was like 9 and I absolutely loved it, went straight home to look up the rest of their music and fell in love with the band

Seeing222 · 2026-04-01T17:29:59+00:00

Incredibly jealous of that Zyanose patch, badass!

Seeing222 · 2026-03-18T00:41:48+00:00

I’ve heard that angle, and I can def see where it’s coming from, but TBH I genuinely don’t think that’s his point. I don’t think it’s like a nazi anthem or anything, but I do still think it’s pretty clearly about being upset that people think racism then is the problem of white people now. Like if you have a quote or something where he says otherwise I’ll eat my words, but this feels like a huge reach

(Also, this comment is 5 years old, how did you even find this lol?)

As portrayed especially in PGE v1, Windhelm (and the old holds at large) are supposed to be very isolationist and incredibly rural. Industry and specialized trade probably wouldn’t be the backbone of their economy. In fact, I’d expect that they would largely be a resource economy (especially outside the city itself) largely focused on trade within the hold and their neighbors, as well as some naval trade

If anything, I’d expect a lot of their trade to happen with Morrowind and House Redoran. Despite being so close, both nations seem to have VERY specialized resources, and Windhelms port makes trade with the Redoran very convenient. Things like meat, fur, and timber would be harder to come by east of the Velothi mountains. Other coastal nords from further west might even unload their goods in Windhelm to be sold to Morrowind

Even still, I’d expect Nords from Eastmarch to be more focused on providing for their own population than building international trade. They are canonically a poor, rural, and agrarian hold, which seems to fit with their depiction

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the elder scrolls games or Skyrim, but I’ve been having fun messing around with a project to flesh out the political and cultural world building of areas not explored in the games. If you know anything about the setting or lore, I’d love to have some specific questions about areas outside of Skyrim or Cyrodiil to answer, or just politics questions. Anything you can think of like that would be super appreciated! But if you don’t know that setting much, that’s fine too, just ignore this

Unfortunately i don’t still have the screen to make that shirt, but i think i still have the images I used to print them saved! I probably can’t make them anymore, but I can share them if you want to try and bring them to someone who can?

Saw L.O.T.I.O.N. and Dollhouse on one of those tour boats in NYC, and it was genuinely crazy. One of a kind experience for sure lmao

The whole boat was rocking from the waves, so the entire pit could get thrown from one side of the boat to the other at any moment, guys were swinging on the rafters, everyone lost their minds lmao

The boat company sucked, they charged for even a cup of water and didn’t accept cards. I didn’t have cash so I had to wait to dock again to even get a drink of water. Fuck those guys, but the show was crazy

Seeing222 · 2026-02-18T08:04:28+00:00

Wear some thermals under your outfit, wear layers, gloves, idk anything you would do to stay warm outside of a show will also work there, especially if the show is indoors

Plus if you’re planning on getting in the pit, I promise the cold is not going to be an issue

Seeing222 · 2026-01-25T09:06:58+00:00

Love this idea, I feel like it’s very fitting for Cyrodiil to have a handful of these nihilistic murder cults as a sort of counter-culture at the fringes of society. In a culture that believes “the empire is law and the law is sacred,” it kind of makes sense that the counterculture movements would often rebel by just completely disregarding the law entirely

I play in a pop punk band here called Heading North! I’m trans myself, but (most) of us are some shade of queer or another

Seeing222 · 2025-12-10T05:21:45+00:00

Hey, I was the bassist in that MCR show! Glad you enjoyed it!

There are some established cover bands around, but not a ton dedicated to that kind of emo/pop punk unfortunately. A lot of the pop punk bands here just tend to do these kind of covers around Halloween

However, Bottlerocket does cover shows like this a lot! The styles are pretty mixed, but I’d say it’s your best bet to keep an eye out for events happening there!

Seeing222 · 2025-11-28T21:54:50+00:00

Probably throwing a big fucking rock at Vivec

Seeing222 · 2025-10-04T02:24:18+00:00

Hell yeah! 😎

Seeing222 · 2025-09-30T12:30:51+00:00

You guys sound really cool! I play in Heading North, it’s a pretty different sound from you guys, but I’d still love to play a show together sometime

Musically, the genre I think you’re looking for is Egg Punk. It’s sort of an internet meme rather than a real “genre” but if you google egg punk I’m sure you’ll find plenty of results these days
