Its uplifting if you were previously a college athlete who let themselves go, but has the potential to bounce back quickly.
Depressing for someone like me who took up sport and fitness later in life and doesnt have that athletic foundation to build on.
But i guess it also applies to short term injury recovery, so thats good news
The reposts and memes often get more upvotes than the OC, :(
Ignore the downvotes… i agree we need a separate community for pics of community members’ cats, vs. reposts from grandma’s facebook page…
When 90s punk hit the mainstream it found its way into suburbia, where, like gangster rap, people singing about inner city violence were now talking to white picket fence kids who’d by and large never seen such violence.
i feel personally attacked lol
Thank you for your long form deep dive… i think your points about the machismo make sense and lack of emotional maturity really hits home for me
The jocks and preppies that popped in a tourists were still assholes, and going to a show where you’d expect the crowd to be welcoming based off the band’s message
definitely saw the jocks and rich kids but overall i never felt unwelcomed at shows… and in hindsight, we shouldnt be judging them as tourists and assholes… we all just immature kids looking for a place to belong.
A lot to digest. Thanks again
and it’s been a fairly white, male dominated scene
It’s weird to me that such a progressive movement has not progressed much in this regard…
Been going to shows since the early 90s and as a visible minority, i still stick out like a sore thumb at punk shows in 2026
and to be clear i’m not accusing anyone of racism or whatever. Clearly the music promotes anti-racism, anti-facism, etc… so what is it about the scene that makes it so unappealing to some of the marginalized groups that the scene seeks to defend? It’s baffled me for years
Make it a permanent ban, pls
And the reason the rest of us have to suffer sirens that are louder than they need to be, is so that they need to be loud enough to penetrate all the soundproofing
And now drivers are all wearing earphones
Why gratis and not libre?
or does anon not know the difference between free and free?
Suspicious that they recommend binary install (“trust me bro… anon branded!!”) vs. Code inspection and self-compilation

Streets with sidewalks will be in a state of disrepair with more cracks and potholes. This should force drivers to slow down.
Maybe this is secretly pro-pedestrian, lol
5 deaths are totally worth saving 30 seconds on my commute!!!

But some people in this batshit crazy province would unironically agree
My story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say dickety because the Kaiser had stolen our word twenty
Project manager. (i can hear you all rolling your eyes, and i agree with you…)
Its wild to me that traditional car companies have to recall everything for stuff like this (which i agree with), but tesla and waymo are allowed to beta test their shitty autonomous death machines on public roads…
There’s a 1/10000 chance the faulty seatbelt might strangle someone in crash? RECALL THEM ALL
2 ton hunk of steel piloted by just a camera, hooked up to some AI computer vision model and vibe coded software? DEPLOY AT WILL
10 years ago, I had a friend unironically describe to me how self driving cars would solve traffic jams by communicating and coordinating with each other to drive at high speed, in a line, close to each other, with just inches between each car…
“bro… you just invented a really shitty, inefficient train…”
Where can i follow these new, young, whippersnappers?
lemmy communities? Mastodon accounts?
Yes… since as long as i’ve been listening to punk rock in the early 90s, it seems like nothing has changed… maybe even gotten worse.
As a youth punk rock made me hopeful. Gave me the sense that other people saw the same problems and writing songs and expressing displeasure… 30+ years later, i feel like we havent made much progress in our class struggle. The DIY ethic of the 90s seems to be gone. I’m still going to shows with 55 year old dudes singing about their high school girlfriends, lol…
Use grok for this (especially if it involves minors)
grok wouldd explode
