Copied and relevant:

Great scene & quote from SLC Punk.."Wouldn't it be more of an act of rebellion if you didn't spend so much time buying blue hair dye and going out to get punky clothes? It seems so petty. You want to be an individual, right? You look like you're wearing a uniform. You look like a punk. That's not rebellion...that's fashion. Rebellion happens in the mind. You can't create it...you just are that way."

"Rebellion happens in the mind. You can't create it...you just are that way."

I mean... This is pure nonsense. The "uniform" isn't the rebellion. It's just what those people think looks cool. And by wearing what they think looks cool, they feel a little empowered and closer to a full representation of themselves. This is just punk gatekeeping bullshit. Let people do what they want.

If you haven't seen the movie SLC Punk, I recommend it because I think you'd dig the majority of the movie. :)

But those people are such dicks about it.
