One of my fav instagram accounts spitting truth

Elitism ain’t punk. Reblogging this every time I see it.

[image desc: “LET’S MAKE SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR. Punk-rock shows are not a fucking fashion runway. Dressing up in studs and spiking out hair is fun. It’s a lot of fun. We get to joke around and piss off the squares and throw beer-cans and lace up boots. It’s also a great way to recognize people you don’t already know who might have the same taste in music as you. But when that 13 year old kid shows up at the gig with a torn-up pair of Nike’s and a flannel shirt and you give him shit, you can come answer to me. This kid is just as scared and confused as you are as a grown-ass adult. You were that kid once. You weren’t born with spurs and boots on yer feet. You were nervous at yer first show. That kid yer picking on for his RANCID patch just paid money he scrounged up from his couch cushions to see a local band play because it was hard, fast, and loud and he liked that.
Make that kid feel at home. Wrap yer arm around his neck. Swing him around the pit. Throw him up on the stage and stick the mic in his hand and say “here, freshcut. YOU sing this one!”
You were that kid once too.“]
