what have i missed? why is superman in any way associated with punk?
They have a discussion about music, and this is how it ends.
Please, watch the film it’s amazing.
So here I am, doing everything I can…
It’s ironic that there are so many prerequisites and certificates necessary to be a fan of punk, while being a punk musician requires nothing. You don’t even need to know how to play an instrument or sing.
Unironically.
“As something of a punk myself,” there is waaay too much cynicism in the modern world.
I remember being one of the youngest of a group of boy scouts, sitting in a tent, huddled around a battery-powered, mono-speaker tape deck, in 1978, listening to a bootleg copy of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. I’d never heard anything like it. No other music has surprised me in the same way since.
What has superman to do with punk rock?
In the newest Superman movie he and Lois go to his family home. He has punk band posters that she claims are normie or poser or something. The following scene comes later: https://youtube.com/shorts/2LivEfhnW9k
Bro what is that line
In the movie Lois mocks him for being a goody two shoes who listens to bad pseudo punk. He thinks he’s cool, but he’s actually a huge dork, but he means well.
It’s a joke that he’s very corny
Exactly, i would love to discover some new punkrock, should i go and watch superman or something?
The new Superman movie has a side plot about Superman and Lois disagreeing on the meaning of “punk rock”. Lois thinks it’s about questioning everything, telling truth to power, being cynical. Clark thinks in our modern political climate, being kind and hopeful and loving is “the real punk rock”. Clark’s musical tastes are still pretty normie tho
Clark? Like Clark Kent? I thought we were talking about Superman, not a random journalist.
Lois makes sense when it comes to government/ corporations, Clark makes sense when it comes to other individual humans.
Growing up as a punk, I was taught, and shown, it was both
Yeah, I may not be the most outwardly punk but I’ve never met a punk that doesn’t live and die by “be cool to each other and fuck the government”
Heh i guess i should watch it, sounds kinda fun.
Goldfinger reference?
im sorry but no one that listens to punk calls it punk rock.
I mean, I’ve been listening to punk since I was 10 and I do occasionally say punk rock. Usually in a phrase like “Hell yeah punk rock!”, it’s just not as common as saying punk.
They don’t, however, that’s the correct genre name. Punk is an ethos rather than a genre.
well thats just not very ‘punk rock’ of you.
True, which is funny bscause it makes it seem like lois lane has adapted her vernacular to communciate clearly with Clark and his old fashioned ways.
Yeah, I usually just say Punk.
Would be especially odd to include the “rock” if you have another modifier before it (ie: folk punk, pop punk, crust).
Apparently some things I listen to are, or have a bit of that kind of vibe? I still don’t really call it that
I might not be a punk rocker but Sheena is!
If you’re a normie and you want to be punk rock, here’s a good place to start:
So many kick ass songs in this thread. Thank you for starting it!
No. Chupawamba. For shame
