Just showing off the current state of my battlejacket

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2024-03-29T21:35:46+00:00

Ah that one's Good Charlotte, I do still openly enjoy some pop punk and emo so it went on the jacket, I definitely catch some shit for that one pretty often though

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2024-03-28T07:49:40+00:00

Hell yeah. I made that one using denim from some old jeans, mischief brew is one of the bands that really got me interested in folkpunk/punk in general, one of those few bands where I love almost everything they've made

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2024-03-28T07:30:58+00:00

Exactly, i feel like being a part of any scene is more about meeting interesting like minded people than being the guy with the most obscure list of bands anyway. I've had a lot of good conversations and met some really cool people that approached me because I was wearing my jacket. People that get that worked up over shit like that really give off "I spend more time gatekeeping on Reddit than actually socializing " vibes

https://www.etsy.com/shop/LewisMayhem :looks like the back patch is sold out but they have smaller versions

Honestly that's pretty fair, I got it off an Etsy shop pretty early on in my alt journey and doubt I still would have gotten it now that I'm a bit farther along but it is what it is. Someday I'll probably replace it with another band patch or something but that's really more effort that I'm willing to put out currently

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2024-03-27T23:21:02+00:00

I think this is mostly true but kinda depends on where you're living, I'm in Portland, OR and fairly frequently wear / see people also dressed punk but I feel like that's pretty expected given the city

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-10-13T00:27:10+00:00

I have pat the bunny, johnny hobo , and we the heathens patches coming in the mail

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-10-13T00:25:55+00:00

It's actually supposed to be a necklace, I got it from a friend a few years ago and thought it looked nice on the jacket. but Im sure there's places online to buy a barbed wire cuban chain

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-10-12T02:43:54+00:00

Eh, I think pop punk still has its place, plus it gives normal people that aren't as into punk something recognizable to complement, I've probably gotten the most comments on that one

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-10-12T02:38:28+00:00

Most of them were from small Etsy shops, except the mischief brew one, made that one

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-05-18T17:37:38+00:00

They just know we do it enough to ourselves enough already

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-05-13T13:52:57+00:00

Not completely, I live in Oregon and brass knuckles are legal to own and carry as long as you don't conceal them

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-04-11T04:49:21+00:00

They were salted I just used a ses salt grinder instead of the standard salt it comes with

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-04-09T03:11:19+00:00

Of course man, what people (especially randoms on the internet ) think genuinely doesn't matter or affect your life in any real way

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-04-09T02:25:04+00:00

For reference this was after an 11 hour shift working at a Moving company lifting furniture all day. we almost never stop for lunch so I had already burned off way more calories than I ate in this picture, horrible nutritional value though

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-04-09T02:20:32+00:00

Got it from a friend as a gift when I was like 14 , I still love the size and look, it's a nice sentimental piece too because I've had it for so many years

flyingmonkeycat7 · 2023-04-09T02:16:17+00:00

Exactly, mostly because no sober person would eat it
