Japanese Punk,

[NeoNecroNomiCron]

Anyway, the ficcle person that I am,

I have kind of taken an interest to Japanese Punk Dress Style. Well when I say taken an interest more like I like to look.

Anyway I have a theory, That Punk is like a scientific enevitability, but culturaly. E.g. like the invention of the wheel it was invented and adopted by almost every country close to teh same time.

So every culture, will go through a punk phase. This revolt is usualy taken by a youth generation. The UK was the inventor of punk (to the best of my knowledge) and each incarnation has elements that tie back to teh original punk but with its own flair.

Anyway enough of that thread disscussion point. I am looking for some punk style clothes. I have been to O1ONE, you know in shinjuku with all the 'gosurori' clothes(so cute) But as a student I dont have OIOI kind of money. Anybody know where I can get a black nazi style 3/4 lenght Jacket but not so strong punk but just dark.

I am in a bit of a mood,(just started writing my new suicide note(with themes from Imagine by john lennon and Vincent(starry night)don maclean)not punk I know... but ) and I just wanna dress dark, I am a bit fed up of my current look, and as I lost all my old clothes in a deveviry accident i need some more(at the moment I am living off one suitcase full of clothes(thats all I own at the moment))

Suggestions errata?

Get in touch with Steven Schultz, the guy behind Tokyo Damage Report. He's probably the best (gaijin) authority you're likely to find on punk in Tokyo.

... I lost all my old clothes in a deveviry accident i need some more...

Get's a new girlfriend at one of the useless "fashion colleges" in Shinjuku/Shibuya/Ebisu. Then deconstruct used clothing from the Harajuku rag merchants in the "Clothes-by-the-Kilo" trade. When reassembled asymmetrically, Japanese clothes have plenty of spunk for punking.

Thanks Caustic I had a loot at the site. I am just really after a jacket, i still dont knot if i will go hard core punk. Just wanna see if i look kawaii in Japanese punk style.

cron,
i was tripping around shimo kitazawa and found a brilliant army surplus store with WW2 era gear from both the allies and the axis.

IOW, they got cool nazi coats and knock offs. just trip around by the macdonalds. there's a statue of an american GI doing the battlecry on the 2nd story. you can't miss it.

Punk was born in New York by the RAMONES!!!!!! in 1975

They then went on a tour in Europe and it blew the fuck up over there.

Do you even listen to punk? or are you just a trendy fashion punk?

I reccomend the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, The Circle Jerks, The Misfits, The Dead Milkmen, and all that oldschool grimy shit.

Do you think GG Allin gave a fuck about what he was wearing while he took a shit on stage or fucked his dog?

Do you even know who GG allin is?

I'd worry more about how closely some people want to follow in his footsteps.

"So every culture, will go through a punk phase"

Ha! Can't wait to see Guatemala's punk phase!

See NeoNecronomicon, forget the clothes and just get yourself a dog!

Ok. You already answered yourself. :P Actually, it's possible to find timewarped punks in Tokyo wearing actual NOS punk clothes circa 1978. K-cool but eery.

LOL

[mr. sparkle]

screw GG Allin forever! i'm glad that waste of human flesh is dead.

you want punk? nothing is more brutal than hijokaidan


hijokaidan's flesh melting sonic attack

punk ain't about how you look. it's about screaming and yelling about shit you do not like.

example: rob pongi and mr. sparkle's original punk rock puke band called lovebutter.

rock on!

I forgot I actualy started this thread.

I knew this would come up. Anyway, I put to the best of my knowlegde in brackets, Besides who influenced the ramones? If you follow american "history" it was the fugs. I still retain my original statment is that it is a cultural inevitibility. The same music movements were happening across the world. Besides since i would be more influenced my British punk, should I devote my life to another american corperation? Do I need to cut my wrists to prove i have angst.

Do you even listen to punk? or are you just a trendy fashion punk?

I do listen to punk. I am hardly a trendy fashion punk I just want a bloody jacket like japanese punk followers do.

Thanks for the suggestions mr. sparkle I will have to get my train map out.

Do I need to cut my wrists to prove i have angst?

No. First you have to get a LiveJournal and write bad poetry. Once you've got enough readers and other LJers who have you on their "friends" links, you have to talk about how empty your life is and how there's no meaning to anything. Somebody will suggest suicide in your comments. Then you must respond as though you're seriously contemplating it. Others will comment on this situation and try and talk you out of it. After several months of back-and-forth on this topic you'll have two choices:

1. Cut your wrists on a live webcast so the world can share your pain.
2. Redo your LJ color scheme and make the page all about Rainbow Brite and My Little Pony, telling everybody you were just yanking their chains and isn't your new page so much better!

The squirrel agrees with me. He just prefers a different method is all.
