What Modern Punk Looks Like Outside the System
The modern punk scene has a question it's actively trying to answer: can you build something that holds all of it - every identity, every ability - without flattening any of it?
The Denver, Co Punk scene are working that out in real time. This episode centers Cheap Perfume and Team Nonexistent (among many others, such as the, Potato Pirates and Dead Pioneers) and traces the lineage, from The Slits and X-Ray Spex through Bikini Kill, Against Me!, and Propagandhi. We look at how the present requires the past, while also being completely new. We examine the how and why the current scene are the ones punk spent decades making room for.
This scene focuses on intentional community, what it means to police a scene with purpose, and how "brotherhood" became "siblinghood." And we dig into what it actually takes to create a vision before the infrastructure exists to support it.
Punk has always been about reclamation. The modern scene is not asking who gets to do it, they are declaring that we are the ones we have been waiting for. And they show us what happens when that shift is made.
