Oof, my head hurts. GOO! *giggle like a Catholic schoolgirl*

I thought the whole Maya LJ War was over, but apparently, the anonymous commentator has decided to defend their opinion. My question is: who’s stalking me? I want to stalk you back. Here is the infamous info:

Sorry Rebecca, but this is an odd argument. Punk isn't really anarchy. To my understanding, its about genuine non-conformity..and at that time, there was a lot to rebel against. Sure, there's a lot now, but the whole dressing issue came from the thought that fashion was stupid. Its ironic, because the whole fashion that big corporations label "punk" essentially came from the idea of anti-fashion...but yeah, thats all.

Feel free to correct me.

Okay, you bring up a good point. I guess what I was trying to say (but couldn't quite phrase at the time) was that "punk" is being understood nowadays as a fad, but real punk would never be considered a fad. Certainly people don't think being "punk" is a fad because of behavior? Nope, it's all associated with clothing and outward appearance. Therefore, because of what you've said, the fad is really just a fad of being poser punk or some other type of style. There is no such thing as a true fad of being punk, because punk was never a style, it was a way of life.

Alright - I would just like to know why, if punk is a way of life, and you guys are all about non-conformity, why you find it necessary to even COMMENT on your Abercrombie-clad classmates. OK, you're non-conformists - maybe that makes you better than everyone else, but who really cares? High school is a bogus illusion of life. Nothing you do matters here, except maybe your grades because those are the only things that really have to follow you. No ones going to care whether you were punk or a "whore", "prep", or "jock". You do what you want with your life - it's great that you all have made the first step into dressing and acting the way you want - but why bother dissing everyone who went down a different path? That just wastes a lot of energy that could be put to much better use. The fact that you guys are even talking about STORES as an indicator of what "group" you're in is immature in itself. I don't want to insult any of you - but just think about it. The fact that we're even here discussing the degree of our ( ... )

Rebecca, you're silly. Teehee.
All of this is so stupid, why doesnt it just end?

because I'm older than you all and I know better happyelfling December 29 2002, 21:54:50 UTC

on punk: go to Chicago Comics (on Clark St. north of Belmont) and pick up issue #47 of Cometbus. Or a different issue. It's cheap, maybe $2. Punk's not dead, it's just hard to find in high school ( ... )

Hey (this is a different anonymous)- just wanted to add my opinion, not wanting to cause any trouble, but stereotypes should DIE! I find them quite funny...I wear some preppy clothes, yet I am also an incredibly artistic person...strange.
