People who say "keep politics out of" anything are usually stupid. Most things are political. Implicitly supporting the status quo is political. Leaving things unsaid is political.

Usually the people who pop out that line mean "keep politics that are different than mine out of".

But on topic, punk is extremely political. For example, please review these lyrics from The Clash "Know Your Rights", 1982

You have the right not to be killed
Murder Is a crime!
Unless it was done
By a policeman or an aristocrat

No, most things aren't political. But punk isn't one of them.

I'd go a step further and say "punk" is by definition political, and more specifically anti-authoritarian and non-conformist.

That said, this is a relatively new usage of the word. 100 years ago it meant nothing of the sort.

Punk is (was) almost nothing BUT politics.

Woosh moment?

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Being factual. Call it wooshy if you like. Doesn’t bother me.

I love playing whoosh a lot anyway for comedy porpoises.
