It will never be the 90s again

I hope I don't live to see it. Given my lifestyle, though, it feels like I won't. Too much alcohol and smoking... already have trouble breathing.

NWA, Eminem, Three 6 Mafia, Wu-tang, etc.

are more punk than anything that's come out in the past 20 years

and this is coming from a die hard sex pistols fan

>Called in to service our email server and SAN drives at work on the weekend.
>Can't remote in since hardware failure.
>Show up dressed in full punk with a cyberdeck because fuck making me come in on my day off.
>Security tries to escort me out of the building until they realize it's me.

80s and early 90s might be over, but damn if I don't try sometimes.

Why does punk attract betas and tumblr nowadays?

It became casualized.

because instead of standing for standing out and being bold and autonomous, it became synonymous with just being a weirdo

oh and fashion. it's chic.

More accurately, "rebelling" became mainstream, as if that weren't a paradox in itself. People always want to seem like they're on the cutting edge of trends to look cool to others and to supplement their lack of personality. Punk gives off the aura of not giving a fuck about normal society, except the sort of people who latch on to it now don't carry a stigma with them, so it removes one of the major tenets of punk.

It's a lot like being a computer nerd is seen as cool right now. Normal people adopted trends a class of people naturally fell into and passed it off as being unique. Or I suppose people who dress like hippies while having no actual connection to being an actual hippie. Hell, I suppose we could go all the way back in time to flappers and other silly shit that became normal over time.

;_;

>90's
>punk

nope. 90's punk's derivativeness was only beaten by later decade, no wonder it died out completely at this point

So if being a normie has been mainstream the whole time, and being a rebel/contrarian has already completely become completely mainstream ala punks and eventually hipsters, what's left? Where is our culture going to go from here?

>Where is our culture going to go from here?
'Down the drain'

To become both contrarian to both being normal and rebellious.

I think Veeky Forums has gotten that idea down to the T.

I don't want this to be our future though, user

So autism becomes mainstream, basically? I could see that.

Yes and after we tear each other apart with that autism we'll have a hard reset to normalcy again and the entire thing starts anew.

I suppose it happens to all sub-cultures over time. There was an article written about it, how everything private and exclusive eventually becomes chewed up by the public at large looking to catch the next big trend before anyone else does, and they'll be damned if them not fitting into it is going to stop them.

It's like, I used to frequenting "hacking" groups for a long time, but nowadays, there's a lot of normies that are nothing more than glorified script kiddies standing on the shoulders of giants without realizing they don't know nearly as much as they think they do. These guys usually wind up either never doing anything noteworthy or bail out as soon as they get a notice someone's on to them though, so the nice thing about that is that they go away since some of the stuff that little sub-culture does can land you some jail time. It's a nice barrier to entry, but even that won't preserve it for very long, as you can see with late 2000s 4channer newfags who wanted to pretend they were badasses for participating in DDoSes with their one little connection. Anyone who actually still does that sort of thing seriously have bunkered down so underground you can't find them without previous contacts.

It makes me feel odd knowing that I can put important things on a floppy disk seeing how so few computers have a disk drive and even less people know what the fuck a floppy is.

I used to still use floppy disks in grade eight around 2004-2005. Are they still even compatible with current operating systems if you have the right hardware?

>second most overrated decade of all time
>if Trump is elected we'll enter a punk renaissance
Last one is true though, at least for as long as there are humans.

They're compatible, but floppies in my experience experience corruption over time pretty quick. I've tried to read 20 year old floppies only to find bad data all over them, can't get them back via windows or third party recovery.

They do work on modern OSes though, at least for Windows which still has generic floppy drivers if you've got a floppy that connects via MB USB slots. You can also get an actual USB floppy, but they're becoming more and more rare now.

...

Whats the first most overrated decade of all time.

60s.

>if Trump is elected we'll enter a punk renaissance
They said that about Bush and all we got was a 6/10 Green Day album

Which would be more autistic, pro-Trump punk rock or anti-Trump punk rock?

>us
>contrarian to being rebellious
only to meme tier rebellious ideas, like emos

That is what has been might as well be compared to nothing. Nancy reagan's physical consciousness matters as much as my toe nail clippings that exist on the plane of reality

Still can't believe they won a Grammy for that

Still being a punk rocker in 2016 is like someone still being into Pokemans in their 30's, so about equal in terms of autism.

Pokemon really isn't autistic to be into when you're older, since it really ingrains into your thought process as a kid.
That said, if you didn't get hooked on it a age 2-10, and are still into it in your late 20's and on, you're probably autistic.

Pro-Trump punk would be a lot more odd but I don't think autistic is the right word for either. Metal is the true genre for man-children.

>Metal is the true genre for man-children.
I can't argue with that.

I'm pretty sure punk and its offshoot genres are still around, and still see new groups, they're just not mainstream.

>>punk will never make a comeback
