Corporate Punk

Corporate Punk describes punk bands or punk fashion brands created by corporate businesses that are more interested in making money than spreading a message.

Corporate Punk bands attempt to stay as apolitical as possible to be appealing to everyone. They make songs about empty anger, trying to put on a fake persona of anger without having any real opinions or thoughts in their songs. Corporate Punk bands may also be industry plants.

Corporate Punk fashion brands describes a brand making clothes with super cheap fabric and making the item super expensive. It's extra corporate punk-ish if the item is made poorly to look DIY, but still costs 50$.

Synonyms for corporate punk include; industry plant (for bands), poseur, poor mouth, and capitalist punk.

Marty: Dude, these clothes are made with such cheap fabric! Why are they so expensive?

David: It's Corporate Punk, Marty. It's just like that.
Marty: I guess that explains why it looks like something the Tramp Stamps wore during their mall goth phase

Poor Mouth

Poor Mouth is the movement of rich people pretending to be poor for fun. This includes buying from thrift shops, buying clothes made to look dirty and ripped, or making "homeless inspired" accessories. The only issue is, once they're bored they can simply go back to being rich.

The punk version of Poor Mouth is known as Corporate Punk.

Mary: I saw the CEO of our company wearing a cardboard sign around his neck? Why is he pretending to be poor?

Jack: Oh he's just doing Poor Mouth now, he thinks his cardboard sign necklace is trendy

Mary: Did he really have to stop bathing?
