Punk

Someone who doesn’t give a fuck about what others think
Not specifically about the music or the style, but some posers will make fun of punks for being open about their political views and not wearing ”punk” clothing or listening to “punk” music

You’re not necessarily a poser if you’re not open about your views, and you’re just punk for the music and style, but if you go around telling other punks they’re a poser you don’t view something as punk, you are a poser.

You don’t need spiky hair
You don’t need dyed hair
You don’t need to be open about your political views

You don’t need to like “punk” music

Etc

(Tbh other people definitely have better definitions than me on this, but this just gives a small definition for it)

Also last thing, back to political views, punks are mostly leftists (pro-choice, feminism/womanism, blm, acab, eat the rich, etc) but not all punks will have the same political views, and you have to respect that

(I am personally leftists. Useless information, ik)

Poser: dude you aren’t punk if you only have political patches
Anybody else: what do you mean?
Poser: you can’t just have political patches, you need band patches of real punk music bands. They’re just TikTok alt
Anybody else: that’s not true, being punk doesn’t just have to do with the music and style
Poser: whatever, fuck off.
