Almost punk in a way that is not at all like punk. Punks do not tolerate bigotry or fascism.
While they aren't punk, there are definitely a lot of racist shitbags in and around Philly.
side eye glance at the northeast
Hey now. themeatbridge is right. The world was a different place before CBGB closed. True punks are anti-establishment anarchists, and also very nice people in my experience.
Edit: You can disregard this thread. I’m a dummy and didn’t realize where this was posted.
Oh I just meant the racist part, since the further northeast you go, the more racist it gets. The you lhit the burbs and you get that stupid Trump store
Totally. There are no punks in Westchester. Only middle-class commuters and old money Republicans.
Are you thinking of NYC lol?
You mentioned glancing at the punk scene in the northeast. Of course I assumed you meant NYC. Lol
Fair assumption if we weren’t in the Philly community lol
That is such a valid point. My bad.
