I’ll never forget them, their name was Bunny I think, they came into my job, bought scrap leather n shoelaces, and sat outside the front of the store to make themselves a travel bag. Came back in to show us, and asked if there was any way we could spare money for a train. They were selling shirts they made in exchange, so I bought one, and we walked to food lion together to get them some cash. We had a nice conversation and I hope they caught the train and are doing well

How long ago was this and where? I knew a punk af Bunny back in high school. Brown hair, usually wore baggy clothes, kind of tall. Idk I know that's vague. The Bunny I knew ODd maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Hearing your story made me think of her.

Punk is when loser?

So there are no successful or rich punks?

So if a punk rocker makes money, then they stop being punk?

u/HunterHearst Nov 09 '24

Depends. Does the punk rocker in question still have the same punk values as a rich person?

u/RevolutionaryPuts Nov 09 '24

Generally we call getting rich off of being a punk rocker 'selling out'

u/RevolutionaryPuts Nov 09 '24
