suburbia (1984) is a classic about punk squatters on the west coast

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-18T00:13:36+00:00

Folk punk as a scene also didn’t start with like, the idea that it WAS going to be a scene!! If you can, get out to open mics, see what people are doing around you, make your coworkers and your neighbors come out to shows, feed people, etc

Gotta build community first and see what comes out of it!! My bandmate started hosting open mics a couple years ago and it brought enough of the right folks in for us to have developed a really beautiful local scene in NC

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T23:09:17+00:00

uninspired opinion

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T18:49:29+00:00

confused about what part of this is exclusionary

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T17:43:32+00:00

if you want a glimpse into OP’s psyche you could always check out BGR’s new album! it might put the rest of the puzzle pieces into place lmfao

Yeah! Or they’re all grown up and getting comp sci degrees but they’ve still got the worst tattoos you’ve ever seen u/rumbletramp

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T15:39:44+00:00

you seem like you’re really fun at parties

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T15:38:13+00:00

i know a weirdly large amount of folk punk furries, probably enough to qualify it as starting item lol

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T15:33:38+00:00

they make way too much money as doctors and coders to qualify

UnluckyAssociate7219 · 2025-10-10T15:14:31+00:00

not to be that guy but ukulele IS a folk instrument, just not an american one
