is there such a thing as a conservative punk?

[shekina]

Apparently so. I happend to run across a site called www.conservativepunk.com. As you can guess, this is a republican "punk" website. I'm asking myself "I thought punks rebelled against the system, not kissed it's ass".

[corporatewhore]

1. well there is such thing as corporate punk

[trumad]

2. Of Course

[DS1]

3. Only in the conservative punk movement

which I guess makes conservative punks double punks because they started left and rebelled against the punk movement and ended up conservative.

Everything's cyclical you know...

11. note:

It has been decreed on DU that "thanks for playing" is obnoxious and not required.

13. thanx for the heads up

won't do again

[Droopy]

8. I wonder what conservative punks sing about?

Your right. From what I know, most punk is anti-establishment. Conservatives should be anathema to punkers.

[shekina]

9. maybe by "punk"

they mean punk like Blink 182. Not real punk like NOFX, Anti-Flag, Sex Pistols, and to a lesser extent, Johnny Cash. Yes, Johnny Cash was more punk rock than all of em and he could kick every one of their asses.

[BiggJawn]

10. Yeah, they're called "skinheads"...

Like THIS very conservative-looking chap. Can't you just SEE the rebellion in his eyes?

[shekina]

12. ouch

good answer...but ouch, that's gotta hurt

[DEM FAN]

14. Yeah. His Name Is Tom Delay.

15. All Conservative, No Punk

One blurb about a conservative band being band from a club in Chicago and The Triple Rock in Minneapolis. And a link to the Johnny Ramone :puke: interview. Thats it, not even a music section. What trash.

[shekina]

19. i noticed that

they really don't have alot to work with do they?

[absyntheNsugar]

16. Well there are Christian Punk bands

They Call it Core Praise...big in Orange Cty.

However, not all Christian Punks are Conservative. My brother works with one who's fairly leftish, and his band is all lefty too.

17. kids who hate their parents but love money (nt)

18. Conservatives are punks, aren't they?

Creepy little punks...
