I had assumed most of the goths who didn't jus drop it and move on with their lives turned around and became SJWs. They act the same, think the same, dress the same, talk the same, etc.
They just dropped the black aesthetic for not really caring about society, but making people think they do.
I never thought I'd live to see the day that the Right were the "cool" anti-establishment rebels. The Left has made that identity so core to itself that even when they're all wearing stormtrooper cosplay and kicking ewoks for being "heteronormative", they still keep claiming they're the rebels.
Reminds me of how the Chinese Communist Party banned all labor unions in China, using the logic that since the CCP claimed it was one giant labor union itself, that any attempts to form a "labor union" would be counter-revolutionary.
It's been leaning towards it for a while, especially in the OG "punk community" not whatever shit this stuff is now.
The movie SLC Punk is going on 24 years old at this point and that was the basis of the movie.
Iirc the main character ends up marrying a rich white conservative girl at the end of the movie when he realizes his former punk lifestyle was sold to him by the left corporate establishment.
The "punks" of the 1970's/80s were talentless nihilists who shit on everything and cultivated ugliness. Then there were those who just adopted the clothes and superficial sneer-at-everything attitude. To see punks who survived their playacting become 65-year-old squares is somewhat satisfying.
Idiot 20-somethings trying to define it as something other than the nihilistic rejection of everything just like to ogle girls in torn fishnets and flat-tops or have nothing else to glom onto that might make their meaningless lives more bearable.
Add the UK and Canadian governments to the list of badass rebels too. In fact the English police are so punk they will arrest you for not being punk enough.
Punk was always controlled by the left and now it's getting dragged down with them.
All these cliques were controlled by the left, which is why most of them are dead now.
The cliques didn't have any foundation to stand on.
Speaking of, is goth and emo still a thing? How about those chicks with the black eyeliner, bracers and black t shirts? Or the hipper granola people?

Can confirm. Former Goth, grew up. All the people in the scene I was in are still at it and are a bunch of pretentious pricks who turned SJW.

FUCK YOU, I'M GOING TO DO WHAT YOU WANT!
"THANK YOU, I WILL DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!"
Amazing. One of the biggest names in Punk hates all these people and calls them out, but they claim they are Punk. Good god, the narcissism.
Punk is not the same as punk-ass.
Punk: when you need to reach the same conclusions as CNN but need to do so in a way that signals you're "non-conformist".
The only thing punk is is dead, and its posts like this that prove it.
Damn, so only worth searching the goths and emos for women with daddy issues and crave male praise or lost causes too?
Who are "Strikebreakers?"
Scabs?
Management/politicians trying to break up unions?
They could mean scabs but I thought it was like Pinkertons, private police hired to break up strikes.
What moronic bullshit is this now?

Hey, what the fuck did pigs do?!
Fuck me, nowadays true punkers would be the most racist gay-bashers going. Especially since the skinheads are now SJWs.
They are literally heroin junkies. And they do not care what you think of them.
From the barest hovering glance, technicolor-dyed hair used to be punk.
Look at how mainstream that has become...says a lot.
