Face reveal, how's my corporate punk aesthetic?

88 comments

Less "corporate punk" more "Jeff Bezos is forcing us to install anti-homeless spikes on our clothing"
- no free loader is going to use my shoulders for themselves, anyway back to creating proprietary SaaS products from libre projects

Nothing says 'punk' like an Amazon logo unironically embroidered onto your jacket

Even ignoring the incompatability of corpo-punk this is still an atrocious fit

This is what I mean when I say punk is only an aesthetic
- Nah, punk is an ethos, it never died, and the "punk" aesthetic has little to do with punk. For example Ms Rachel is punk as fuck, whereas this clown is just corporate.
  But we're saying the same thing I bet.
  
  punk is an ethos
  +1
  
  Nothing is more punk than a really drunk hard-core front man incoherently trying to rant about the importance of loving each other
- There are still people trying to do things independently, just nobody sees it because we're not posting on TikTok and Instagram.
  I work as a technician in an independent venue, lots of manual labour, doing twelve hour shifts, and also run a cassette label. I record everything myself, dub the tapes myself, make and print all the artwork myself, ship it all internationally on my own. I've organised unions and gone on strike at venues, won tribunals against employers.
  I will agree though that a lot of libs exploit the good will of DIY community in bad faith.
- do ya think he paid extra for those holes in his pants /boomer
  
  Absolutely
  Guy like that has never worn out a pair of jeans in his life
- And it seems people cant wven get that right
  
  I don't think anyone has ever actually been punk in the entire history of forever
  It's impossible, you can't do it

i hate it but he looks so damn pleased with himself i just can't be mad at him. i really hate it a lot though

Ah yes, raging against one’s own machine. Next you be stealing copper from the DC guys just to get your cube mates a Keurig.
Also, why is his beard packed with chow mein from Panda Express?

I'm into punk bands like "Amazon Hourly Worker Stuck In The Wage Cage", you probably don't know of them.

"corporate punk" what, like the Sex Pistols?
- S*x pistols, please, otherwise its nsfw

Compare that performative poser dickhead to the actual Punkest guy on Earth:
- Who is this? (I'm a posuer)
  
  As already mentioned he was the founding member of Minor Threat (legends of the 80s hardcore scene) and Fugazi (seminal post-punk), but his uncompromising ethos was what truly made him punk. He was the founder of Dischord Records, a fiercely DIY label that set hard price limits (about half the industry average for CDs and vinyl) and refused corporate distribution channels. Now a lot of indie labels also follow this practice, but what made Dischord so unique was the massive amounts of money thrown at them from major labels during the height of the 90s alternative rock boom. Fugazi turned down a $10 million deal with Atlantic to retain their independence when every label was frothing at the mouth to sign them. They refused to work with Ticketmaster and other commercial outlets despite their growing popularity. All of their shows remained $5 and all-ages for as long as it could be sustainable.
  
  Ian Mackaye. Leader singer of Fugazi. Good band.
  
  I'm just a poser

What the actual fuck is that facial expression supposed to be?

:corporate-punk: has legs. It'd make a nice insult emoji for radlibs and tech goobers.
- Fuck Image toolbox took away my png

I'm usually a "wear whatever you want at any age" person, but the letterman jacket is one of those articles that has an expiration date

Its crazy we made all this shit up and it sucks so bad that this happened.
- we made all this shit up and it sucks
  My mind is ravaged by this thought on an hourly basis

the ass shot is so unnecessary
- How else is he gonna get any actual compliments?

comm request c/punchableexecutives

Holy fuck this is embarrassing

Fashion terrorism

Who the god damn fuck is this? @GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net you need to weigh in here this is despicable. An affront to everything sacred
- Also why the ass pic there's nothing goin on back there
- It's bad folks. Even minus the Amazon logos, who spikes a letterman jacket? And what is in his beard?
  
  He asked AI to design a punk outfit.
  I'm only half joking and there's a really high chance he actually did.
  
  Pretty sure those are beads.
  
  "How do you do, fellow crusties?"

/c/slop surely

Holding the phone like a senior citizen isn't helping

Bad fit. Idk what makes this corpo-punk other than the fucking logos. When I think corpo-punk or business goth, I'm imaging a distressed or modded suit/tie thing, not a varsity jacket.

Impressive. Very nice. Now lets see Paul Allens fit

corporate BDSM would be more appropriate

Tech bros need to be culled

next Falling In Reverse concert looking hype as hell
- Still a better person than Ronnie Radke, somehow.

Rage 2 (2019)
- Ehh, he would need a Mohawk or liberty spikes
  Or that thing where you're shaved on top, but you spike out the sides like a weird tonsure

When i said "bald beard is a look" this isn't what i meant

Kojima-ass name
- Hard Bossman

I'm willing to bet my christmas budget this dude didn't do more than 20 minutes of manual labor to get this fit together. He either paid someone else, or bought it all pre-made.

Nothing in this look says metal shop

Christ what a dickhead

I want to beat him to death with the word punk please.
- Punk is the onomatopoeia for his empty head hitting the pavement

I know that's not metal shop because the patches aren't made of fire-resistant material, and are sown on the inside, which is fucking bad because if a spark gets caught in-between the interior and exterior, that's how you catch your pants on fire. Not OSHA approved.

Most transgressive punk

Found the original post. Psychic damage warning: goes to LinkedIn

There is just black space where his eyes are supposed to be.
- Cloudflare must be down again

Sorry, Hart, this doesn't say "ask me about securing cloud and agentic AI workloads", it says "ask me about how i cause punching me in the teeth and dick workloads"

im so tired

"I even tied my beard to look like parasites! A perfect representation of our Awesome Corporate Culture!"

this is a sex thing right
he's hoping to be humiliated and/or beat in the crotch with mallets
right

best thread on Hexbear right now

This has nothing on my aesthetic of normcore/business goth

The first real world sighting of an Online Anarchist.

we need to give him billions of tax dollars. clearly he has the answers.

Ive thought that since no-one wears suits anymore, Ska bands should wear other work uniforms - like those vests retail workers wear or a polo and a lanyard
But now that ive got my wish I would like to un-wish it
~~Pick it up pick it up~~ pack it up pack it up
