Our parents and their parents all tried to conform to a type of idyllic family stereotype that was never attainable. Family members were ignored and ostracized for behaving outside that stereotype. Excuses like "it's a fad" started specifically because of the need to explain away the behavior without allowing any follow up questions.

It took a long time but we are finally able to embrace our differences and recognize what's actually normal. Conservatives are still fighting to live that unattainable lifestyle and mad at everyone else cause they can't.

I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified.

[–] Sausage_Mahoney@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

See kids, what we have here is a top notch descendents reference. Often overlooked, but never unappreciated

[–] Thunderwolf@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

I want a suburban home. I want to be a clone

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

The individual desires judgement. Without that desire, the cohesion of groups is impossible, and so is civilization.

[–] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All good man, nobody’s gonna kink shame

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I love the kinks!

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

And could you imagine what that does to you mentally? Trying to square the circle? I'd imagine people that subscribe to that ideal have vastly higher domestic abuse rates. As long as they aren't murdering small animals and hurting other people, your kids and family are growing fine.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Listen, if I had a kid who turned punk I'd be glad because as subcultures go punk is pretty based.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (3 children)

My daughter went punk then goth and then several other things I never bothered to look up. She is now a school teacher who only occasionally has bright florescent hair.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As a Texas resident with a few friends in who are professional teachers... oof. I'm so sorry to hear this story has a sad ending.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

Texas resident

Well there's your problem.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Truly a horrific fate.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago

I'm extremely proud of my niece for being a metal kid.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

If my kid spiked their hair and started living in a collective and spending their days doing direct action and mutual aid I'd be so fucking proud.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Rap has it’s roots in punk because they were the only clubs that allowed them to perform at the time

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 33 points 4 months ago (3 children)

As a kid, I didnt really understand "punk". Based of how media portrayed them, they were always a gang, always looking to start trouble and destroy things, get into fights, commit crimes, all the bad shit people didnt like. Then as an adult, I come to find it was just a music movement, like hiphop and rock. So what the fuck? And then it turns out punk music was pretty cool, too.

[–] scrion@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago

Given how political punk was right from the start, I wouldn't call it "just a music movement".

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 months ago

It also has a big Anarchy vibe.

Going against the norm, which the norm doesn't like.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 4 months ago

like anything it had its influences and influenced others. Had its pure true believers and posers. To me true punk folks you would know when you slammed dance with them and it was fun and although a bit scary you felt safe.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 30 points 4 months ago

Don't forget about the Satanic Panic, which would be an awesome band name if it's not already.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 23 points 4 months ago

People don't turn punk overnight. It has been a long time coming. You just didn't notice it.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

This just screams MST3K PSA!

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We required high levels of conformity to win the coming nuclear war.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No punks in the Wolverines!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh man a version of Wolverines set in a city where punks fight the Russians would be awesome

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I'd watch it.

Best I can do is Buddy Holly fighting Russians with a samurai sword.

This picture looks like the basis for 1/4 of the Kids In The Hall's skits.

I feel like Bruce McCulloch had a closet full of flannel shirts with the arms cut off.

[–] proper@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

fire fire fire, fire on my BRAIN

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

The Nelson's are about to find out...

That their son used an entire bottle of Elmer's glue and now sleeps face down to keep that mohawk standing up. They'll spend time understanding his interests because they love him very much.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

YouTube has several copies of this, here's one:

[–] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

That’s Bernie Kopell, aka Siegfried.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I think of him as Doc from The Love Boat, but that works too.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I thought it was the dad from ALF.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

You were not alone in that belief. Someone else said the same thing. His name was Max Wright, incidentally. Sadly, he passed away in 2019. He is occasionally confused with Austin Pendleton, Max from The Muppet Movie, who has the same name as Max Wright, which doesn't help. To make things even more confusing, they were once in the same movie- Simon*, which came out in 1980. Austin is, thankfully, still with us.

*It's like K-PAX if the psychiatrist was the one who convinced the guy he was an alien.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

My favorite role was Baron von Butcher.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Did some Googling and found he was in a sketch in a 1994 episode of Saturday Night Live that was a TNG / Love boat crossover.

But I can't find a clip on YouTube!

Ten Forward needs this!

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

ack. i thought it was max wright

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Excuse me, but would the star of 101 episodes of ALF and 15 episodes of Misfits of Science sink this low?

Don't answer that.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 4 months ago

i was so upset when they canceled misfits

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Wait what?! Which??

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

That kid's moments away from flipping off Spock on a bus.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

not "we", only the squares among us.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Starring... a de-aged Brad Douriff, in the role of a lifetime!

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

I'd take them with me to the yearly punk rock festival. Duh.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And "ring around the collar"

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

*Gasp!*
