    Every punk bar I’ve been in for the past 10 years has had a rainbow flag somewhere prominently displayed. There’s usually vegan iconography too. It’s part of the territory and it has been for a while.

    More and more I’m starting to understand what was meant by “poser.” People who put on a leather jacket and called themselves punk because they like a few Sex Pistols songs but then never interact with punk communities outside of buying things.

      Yeah the posers are the people who fundamentally don’t understand it’s an ideology. Sometimes they’re completely oblivious to it. I was for a long time in that scene.
