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:

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.
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
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.
Went to a show last week and a guy in a button up and corduroy pants started talking to me. He was new but I embraced him as much as a fellow punker as I would someone with torn up jeans, dyed hair and studs. In the end you should be able to wear what you feel comfortable in, whether it be a suit or a crust punk fit
It's ironic that there are so many prerequisites and certificates necessary to be a fan of punk
I really think that that's mostly just a loud minority being asshats. In my local scene the focus is more on being and expressing yourself in a way you like. Sure the music might be a bit more extreme than popular punk bands but in the end we all stand for the same common goals of equality and self expression, and excluding people for "not being punk enough" is a shit take and should die out real quick
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.
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.

Clark? Like Clark Kent? I thought we were talking about Superman, not a random journalist.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 73d
I don't get people who confuse them, Kent clearly wears glasses.

That journalist plays a role in the Superman movie, duh.
What exactly I do not know.

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
Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 73d
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.

Just don't be a right-wing loser and you're welcome to any punk rock show, wearing a tuxedo or a space suit if you want.

Unironically.
"As something of a punk myself," there is waaay too much cynicism in the modern world.

im sorry but no one that listens to punk calls it punk rock.
Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 73d
well thats just not very 'punk rock' of you.
texture@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 72d
i agree
Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 73d
They don't, however, that's the correct genre name. Punk is an ethos rather than a genre.

FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 73d
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.
Chezus9247@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 73d
Yeah, I usually just say Punk.
WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com · 6 pts · 73d
Would be especially odd to include the "rock" if you have another modifier before it (ie: folk punk, pop punk, crust).
texture@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 72d
crust punk rock LOLLLL
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 73d
Apparently some things I listen to are, or have a bit of that kind of vibe? I still don't really call it that

Not include Goldfinger's "Superman" into a Superman movie claiming "punk rock" themes was a huge missed opportunity

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 73d
Nevermind the bollocks was good, but that whole project was just Malcom Mclaren building around a fashion movement of staged rage.
The Ramones first album was two years earlier, without any bullshit agenda or fashion cues.

Cool. Cool, cool, cool, but I didn't hear the Ramones first album in the 1970s.
