Johnny Rotten was recently photographed wearing what appears to be an official Make America Great Again shirt and "punks" worldwide have decided that he isn't punk. The comments are full of some chuckle-worthy seethe and a few actually intelligent(!) posters defending Rotten.
Apparentky punk now has a dress code or something.
I've never understood punk or liked the folks who seem to fill its ranks, but from my understanding rejecting conformity and authority is a huge part of it.
In that way, policing it only seems to send up the idea that you aren't part of it rather than your target.
