About me: I am a 31 year old living in Los Angeles. I am from the south east, and as a teen me and all my friends played instruments and formed bands, usually punk and metal. I am making this observation as an “ex-punk” kid:

I have never had so many “punks” tell me to do what the governor says. Punk culture has been co-opted into the governments street team of tattle tales and rule enforcers. For a culture that was entirely about defying authority, having personal liberties and telling the government to FUCK OFF, punk rock has now been relegated into socially shaming and bullying people into licking the boot of big daddy gov.

I recently went into a coffee shop, and my tattooed, pink hair “punk” barista told me he couldn’t serve me unless I had a mask. I asked hi. If he thought the government should be dictating the rules of a transaction between two citizens over a cup of coffee. “Those are the rules” he said, to which I replied “Thats not very punk of you”. I have never seen an NPC glitch out harder, trying to justify enforcing the governments “rules”.

Your mask won’t stop a fart, man. It will do less to stop a virus. You look stupid, poser.
