name something sadder than an old punk rocker.
I'll wait.
a 50 year old rapper is close, but not quite.

>>126854447 (OP)
A zoomer

a 66 year old Goth.
for fucks sake bob, time to let it go

>>126854490
Better than wanting to be a cuck or a tranny or a simp like every zoomer

Most old punk guys don't look like that. Being old and in a youth culture costume of any kind is equally depressing, doesn't matter if it's punk, rap, skateboarding, name it. It just sucks to look at.

I went to a Sex Pistols tribute concert aged 23 and was literally the youngest person there, it was like an Old Folks home. incredibly cringe

>>126854502
To be honest, being a subcultural tryhard is sad regardless of age, it just shows more when you're old. If the guy in OP's picture was a teenager he'd be just as stupid-looking.

No doubt about it, but it is uniquely depressing at an advanced age.

when your music is based entirely on image then you're fucked.
nobody will want to look at a middle aged kpop band

A dead legend

Once you reach 30 you should retire the costumes and settle for button ups and slacks

No, you're just projecting homosexual proclivity onto me for some weird reason

Phil Collins
he literally aged 20 years overnight, the fucks that about?

He got sexually assaulted, that does shit to you. Especially as an old guard scotsman who prides himself on never having been raped.

>>126854506
whoever made this image is quite butthurt

>>126854506
You're butthurt aren't you

It can be done but not fatly

I saw a psycho-billy band a few years ago at a local venue that gets $12 shows regularly and the guys were in their 40s with mohawks and punk attire but to be honest their music wasn't even good and I still thought it was cool. The guy stood on an upright bass and played a guitar solo while the other guy kept playing the upright. That's pretty neat even for a band of aging manchildren. There were a few punks as old as the band there and they seemed to be having fun. Those guys are definitely morons but nothing is sad about it. What's sad is seeing narcissistic faggots I'm supposed to call my peers obsessing over rappers and falling for the absolute scam that is going to their fake, pathetic "live shows"
Like this oldfag >>126854518 said. Nobody actually likes stuff anymore. It's all just about obsessing over image and fame. We need exponentially more dead Travis Scott fans.

>>126854560
This. People respect older artists who made actual good music over the course of their lives that people still enjoy today. I feel sorry for the Kpop people, I hope they're stacking whatever money they're making assuming they actually get any of it at all.

Punks can age gracefully, just stop doing that fake "i'm still angry" act.

Zoomer here, I hate Pink Floyd. And Roger Waters is a commie.

>>126854827
>vax
yeah. I got epicanthal folds and rapid developing cataracts in both of my eyes within 2 years of getting the vax + 2 boosters. I think it gave a lot of zoomers progeria. my brother who is 2 years younger and 3 boosters past me looks 10 years older than I am and I'm very worried my mother has prefrontal cortex dementia now. I think we were deliberately poisoned with that shit

glad someone else recognises that old rappers are pathetic

>>126854447 (OP)
Metal, punk and rap are genres you grow out of so anyone above 25 dressing like they belong to any of those subcultures will look silly.

Subculture conformity is unbecoming in a full adult—but worse is letting yourself be washed grey by fear of authenticity. Don’t pretend to be something you’re not, but don’t let the world strip away what fascinates you either. I respect anyone who stands out, even awkwardly—those who look out of sync, who wear their insecurity like a shroud, but still choose to show up real.

>>126854490
I saw this girl i went to hs with over 10 years ago last night, still doing the goth shtick. Shes still hot, which makes it acceptable, but at some point she wont be. I wonder at what point shell drop it, and, if Ill even recognize her after she does.

>>126864555
I know this gen x girl who's very sisters of mercy vertigo comics light bdsm event at the dive bar goth and she seems to be aging as well as anyone in their 40s I know, which is to say everyone ages and she at least seems real about who she is in a way which is obvious but has refined a lot of youthful excess. I'm also gay and a bleeding heart artist who talks like this post sounds so disregard my opinion as pretentious fluff.

>>126854447 (OP)
You’re confusing symptoms for disease.

What is sad is an adult who never really accepted reality or matured enough to experience a full life. It’s pathetic seeing somebody who is still unfulfilled and discontent with life because they should have figured it out a long time ago.
All the aesthetics are more of an indicator of this than the actual cause of that feeling of second hand embarrassment. If this guy had the aura of someone who lived life and still has something to offer it you wouldn’t think twice about the hair or the piercings.

Done

The punk aesthetic is supposed to look ugly so being old and grizzled can work. Being a fat old emo guy or glam rocker is worse

fuck off back to pol chud

This was my exact thought going into this thread. Happy to see it was posted so early

young, conservative bootlickers

old punks are never sad to see

it's been 5 years. you need to stop crying about it and move on.

it's funny how fast the "conservative is the new punk" mantra got dropped
