in london. 1995.

incomplete list of courtney love lyrics that make me scream:

- he said "i'm your lover, i'm your friend, / i'm purity, hit me again."

- i want it again but violent, more VIOLENT

- they say i'm plump / but i threw up all the time

- WATCHING YOU BURN

- hold you close like we both died / my ever-present suicide / my stupid fuck, my blushing bride

- he said to me "i know where you been / i've already heard you binge and you purge."

- what a waste of sperm and eggs, / just falls off his bambi legs. / you can always go back to rehab.

- i've got a blister from touching everyone i see. / the abyss opens up, it steals everything from me

- look at the bloodrot, you suicide bitch, / it takes an hour like you to make me wanna live

- as shines the moon among the lesser fires, / she is sucking dick in the yard

- saying things that you can't hear, / MY DUMB MOUTH TO YOUR DEAF EAR

- i can't be near you, the light just radiates

- NO LONELINESS, NO MISERY IS WORTH YOU. / TEAR HIS HEART OUT, COLD AS ICE, IT'S MINE

- LOVE HANGS HERSELF / WITH THE BEDSHEETS IN HER CELL

I hear people talk about how punk clothing is expensive, how you don’t have enough money to buy docs so obv you aren’t a real punk, how you can’t buy pins anywhere, how punk jewelry is sooo expensive BULLSHIT

The backbone of punk is diy. Punk is messy, punk is making the best of what you have. Nothing is more punk than making your own beauty with the shit you find scattered about

Wanna have docs? Buy some knock offs for 20 bucks and add some spikes no one will care

Want patches? Embroider on some old fabric. Use paint, bleach, markers, whatever you have. If that’s not good enough, buy from small businesses when you can

Want pins? Make em. Use safety pins and a bottle cap and you got a pin. Just paint something on, if you don’t have paint, I’ve used white out and pens just do whatever. Also fr just um borrow from any big shitty chain store, not from small businesses tho

Want jewelry? Pliers are your best friend. Fix broken jewelry with em, use chains u found to make something. I’ve used a hanging plant wire to make a barbed wire bracelet with nothing but pliers. Just fuck around. Buy from small businesses and again, big shitty chains are fair game

Want spikes and cool metal shit? Literally just take any metal like literally anything and stick it to your clothes. Safety pins, can tabs (esp monster ones bc fun colors) lighter caps, make spikes out of cans, take chains outta the recycle bin

Punk is the most accessible subculture. Punk was made by people with no money, and anyone who tells you you need fancy shit to be punk ain’t a real punk. Punk is about fucking around with the idea of what you should be, so just have fun! There are literally no rules!
