How to be Punk

Hate mail

I don't get much hate mail, but when I do its usually pretty funny how desperate people are, so here's a whole section for it. Please read THIS (they never do) before sending me hate mail, which may be achieved by mailing derrp@howtobepunk.com. These people are unnedukated about what it means to be punk, and since they are so angry about not knowing anything, they take it out on me. Lucky for them, I'm a nice guy. Some people write help mail too, which is very thoughtful. Anyway, this is what I get for telling people how to be a true punk:

This website has nothing to do with punk. It doesnt even talk about how anarchism is linked to punk and the way
us punks look at freedom and the way the government fucks us over. You cant just become a punk. you got 2 share
the same thoughts as us. I would only think a stupid 9 year old boy would come up with such bull shit like this. what do you
think we are??? a bunch of dumb ass kids that wear patches on our clothes to look cool? well we are not. punk is not a trend or a type of music. it is a life style in which you have to live by every single sec of a day. Our music is not just music, It is our
thoughts of authority and our freedom written down as lyrics to a song. Our fucked up clothes and shoes are not a style, they are a symbol of how the government has fucked us over and taken our freedom of speech, and thought. We cause anarchy and chaos cause its the only way to get through to people these days. For god sake, you dont even know who Sid Vicious is, or Johnny Rotten. It's kids like you, that make Punk seem dead to some people. Do you even know when punk started or where it came from?? Being a punk from Germany this website makes me and other german punks sick. You think its just another stupid trend ,but its not. Only a real punk would understand what i am trying to say. In the words of Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten, "your all abunch of bloody weekenders who try to hard to fit in"

First off i dont know how old you are but all your responses to other peoples' mail are extremely immature and have nothing to do with what the person wrote about. All you do is try to pick out little things they say to get back at them rather than addressing the actual content they wrote about. Secondly, I really hope this website is a joke because no real punk will take you seriously and anyone who follows your advice will end up laughed at and getting the shit beaten out of them by real punks. You should rename your website to say "how to be prep punk" or "how to be pop punk" because everything you have up relates to the prep-pop-pussy genre. The only punk aspect of your site is its ability to piss off so many real punks who despise the shit you write about. I will gladly take you into a REAL circle pit to show you how pathetic you are. And no, jumping up and down at a Avil or Green Day concert is NOT a pit.

To everyone reading this please look at everything on this site and AVOID IT! Punks stand against corporations and against any rules posted on this site. Anything that says poser on this site is the opposite of what a true poser is. Who is this guy to define what is and isnt punk? Before you look at a "how to be punk site", find out about the movement on your own, from the very first punk band MC5 to the 70's punk movement to the British Invasion to 80's America Hardcore to the 90's/00's punk revival and everything in between. Decide for yourself what you are into rather than being spoon-fed bullshit from this site. Also check out psychobilly and any other related genre too and find what suits you best.

No one can tell you how to be punk: that's why is call "punk".

Me:

i start circle pits you twerp. anyone who is close minded enough to get mad at my site is NOT a punk. that includes your dumb ass. anyone who follows my advice SHOULD get the shit beaten out of them.

the fact that i piss so many people off and really don't give a shit makes me a lot more punk than you'll ever be. yes, sometimes my responses are immature because in order to communicate with people who have lower intellects, one often has to put themself into their perspective. unfortunately in your case, i can't fit my head up my ass, so sorry if i sound too smart.

You are the biggest poser have ever heard of, you have no idea what being punk is about. get home by 7 or your mom will take your desert away? your so fucking gay. dude punk isn't just bout the fashion you retard, its bout the attitude and the music. theres a thing called anti-fashion to you retard, where the fashion doesn’t exist in bands like bad religion and pennywise, but im sure you don’t even know who they are. By the way Rancid and Nofx arent posers, go home and listen to sum faggy ass good charlot or simple plan and take down this pussey supporting web page.

Me:

pennywise sucks ass. all they do is covers. they cant even think of any real songs to play. read my skate section d00d, you should be listening to avril, DUMBASS.

and if youd ever had your dessert taken away, youd NEVER be out past 7...you puss spewing rectal wart licking small testicled shit gobbler.
