I was at a rock/punk concert tonight in california and wore my MAGA cap. During the middle of the show someone broke of from the mosh pit to fight me. Didn't end well for him, he ate a few punches and pissed off.
Crowd turns into a circle and his biggest friend comes after me....I'm not big...5'11 and wiry, 150 on a good day. He was about 6'2 but not to strong, we sparred for a good minute or so, mainly me blocking and playing the distance game, he ended up overcommitting to a punch and I got on his back and choked him out.
While I'm choking him out the guy that started it tackled me off of him and tried to punch me up but didn't really land anything. After about 20 seconds I flipped him over and started landing punches, security broke us up about 5 seconds later. Fucking cowards.
Elder pede here. The Clash and Sex Pistols defined much of the late 70s and early 80s for me and my friends. Anarchism was in the air. Hippies were viewed as pathetic, lost losers. I say that to say this: I don't see how a punk can be anything but conservative. So-called punks who support big government schemes and politicians simply don't understand the punk ethos.
Isn't Johnny Rotten a big Trump supporter now?
There's actually quite a few conservative indie/punk/post rock musicians:
Steven Malkmus - Pavement Frank Zappa - Mothers of Invention Ian Curtis - Joy Division Dean Wareham - Galaxie 500 Britta Phillips - Jen & The Holograms
Just to name a few I've seen do interviews and support conservatism.
Heck, Malkmus was a regular on Red Eye. That must've really gotten under the skin of bleeding hearts like Marc Maron and David Cross lmao!
