Reasons Why I Love: PUNK

Okay, maybe it's just my boredom who drives me to write unworthy shits like this.

But as you know, I've been mentioning word "Punk" so many f*cking times on this atrocious blog. And reason why I've been mentioning the shit so much is because (and indeed) I love it. But I know that you guys will keep questioning, "What is punk? Is that a food? Why on earth you like punk?".

Well, I'll give you some shit-talkings about Punk first. Maybe it's not a good explanation or those long effing history about the shit, but I hope it'll help you figure out what it is.

All right, Punk is a genre of music which is also well-known as a way-of-life from long time ago. Have you ever heard about DIY (Do It Yourself), Mohawk, body modification, freegans, anti-consumerism and stuffs like that? Yes you can relate that to Punk. Have you ever listened to The Ramones? Sex Pistols? Blink182? Anti-Flag? Descendents? Greenday? New Found Glory?... Or maybe, All Time Low? If you've ever listened to'em, you can say that you already know what punk is and what punk sounds like.

But for me, Punk is more than just a genre of music or a way of people living their crappy life. Punk is a choice. Well, I know you don't get it. But I will give you reasons why I love Punk....

The Reasons:

1. Punk is not normal.

Why normal? Normal is boring. Why do you choose living in a house full of old people instead of living alone on your own and do whatever you want even if you have to live beside a rail station? (Well that's a long question). I choose to live beside a rail station as long as there's no more old people who tell me what to do and what to be.

2. Punk is "Straight to the Point" and never be such a hypocrite.

I'm tired and fed up to face people who always starts a talk with cheesy starters and pathetic openers. Why don't you just say what you want and that's it? Keep it simple. And if you hate something, be dare to speak it. If you wanna complain, just complain it. Don't be such a two-faced assh*le telling people that you like something that you don't like. It sucks, you know? In the end you will just end up biting your nails and keeping things stranded far away inside your head without being able to be spoken out forever.

3. Punk is Critical in an Apathyst Way

Find it hard to get what I mean? Well, Punk is critical, it critics a lot of things that doesn't seem like tracking on the right order or maybe doesn't seem equitable for a lot of people. But they're so apathyst to the refuses and disagreement that have been put on them. They don't care about people that underestimate them. As long as they know that what they're criticizing is not appropriate for the society, they will end up with their ears stuffed and keep criticizing.

4. Punk is not mellow

Fuck romance. Sick of living life full of drama? Be a punk! You can quit from dramas in your life and face them with the simpliest way ever and ever. Maybe you will find some love stories in NFG and co's songs, but take a look at the lyrics one more time, it's never been such a melodramatic bubbly lyrics. It always has humour and jokes in every lines. So, if you sick of nauseous sweet sappy romantic things, just fuck off and be a punk baybeh!

5. Punk is Independent

The first thing that should be appear on your mind when you hear the word "Punk" is freedom. If you're a real punk, never be afraid or hesitate to do something that you want and you think is the best for you. This is our life, right? Stop being a follower and depends on anyone else's rules and decisions. We were born to be free and independent, we will live as well.

6. Punk is Humanist and Rights-respecting

You're lying if you never heard any of punk's ideology such as "Anti-racism" , "Anti-Establishment", "Gender Equalist", "Anti-Consumerism" and all. Punk is the most "caring" society I have ever know. When everybody seems like doesn't give any sh*t about things surround them, Punk-heads will be the first community noticed if there's something wrong in people's surroundings. And human rights is the most sensitive issue that punk-heads will scrutinise everyday. They believe in human liberty and difference is not a "thing" in punk-heads' dictionary.

7. Punk ain't afraid to take the pain

Punk is a symbol of pain. Punk teach us that life is hard and we have to face it with a big courage and be bold to take any risks from choices we choose. Punk teach me to be a pessimistic in an optimistic way. It means that, life is not easy, we need to keep our head down low to look what's above and then we reach it. I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Yeah. In the end of all of this, for me, punk is not only music that I like or things that interests me the most. Punk is my soul, my choice and my mind. Maybe you won't find me slouching with those neon-coloured-mohawk-haired kids on the streets or rail station, or put those freaky piercing and tattoos over my skin, but I know that I love punk and yes, I am a punk. And I think every each of you can be a punk. It's easy, all you need is to be brave and different. Do things that never been done, speak what hasn't been spoken, and the last but not least, know what you want and do it your way.

Yeah I think it's a wrap. And I hope you all already got it why I'm mentioning the word "punk" a lot in every posts.

Hope you enjoy the readings...
