The real irony is punk has been adapted into mainstream fashion. On a regular day I’ll see people with bright colored hair, facial piercings, doc martins, biker jackets, t shirts of bands they’ve never heard. All style and no substance - music videos that push the look even further.
It’s a paradox - it’s so normal, it’s as if punk never happened.
