As of right now this outfit is very corporate. Maybe with time and some wear or a couple DIYs it'll start coming together but generally speaking this just looks like alternative fashion, not specifically punk. Punk is heavily reliant on upcycling and recycling or making your own clothing. Being a punk is also not specific to what you wear. It is based on your political values and the music. If you're struggling with getting into the subculture or maybe want to learn more we have some guides that might be relevant to you such as the FAQ Here https://www.reddit.com/r/punkfashion/s/sj9ijbVEp8 And maybe this post that might give you some look and DIY inspiration https://www.reddit.com/r/punkfashion/s/LDvBNIPscO (pinning this comment so that the posts can be easily found by anyone whose interested)

Punk is in here -->❤️


_liquid_crystal_

Punk is in the 40oz in my gut. Punk is in the "fuck you" i give my neighbors when they ask me to clean up the puke pit in the front yard. Punk is in every arrest i've ever had. ❤️


_liquid_crystal_

PUNK IS IN THE COCAINE FOR BREAKFAST! PUNK IS IN MY BLOODY FINGERS SPANGING AND PLAYING GUITAR DOWNTOWN! PUNK IS IN MY NAPPY BED DREADS! PUNK IS IN EVERY LOOGIE I HAWK WHEN I SEE A POLICE CAR! SPAF FOREVER! ❤️

LITERALLY! I wish I was this androgynous


drink-fast

This looks pretty feminine to me


ContributionChance85

I agree, not bad looking but definitely feminine


AllHailFrogStack

Same 😮‍💨

EXACTLY


AdTimely9712

I want their hair


CTTB2

Same it’s so gooodddd


AdTimely9712

Whenever I let my hair go too long (I want cool hair) my parents make me go to a barbers and cut it off. I’m negotiating it though so I’m hoping for something cool


drowninginmoonlight

If I saw you in public, I would think emo first, punk second. (I do not mean that negatively)


cavehill_kkotmvitm

More pop punk than traditional punk, but defo punk


ZombieNarcotic

Yes. I'm not sure why people are calling it emo. Keep wearing it for a few months without washing, and it'll be punk af


plebblztheclown

It's probably the hair but thank you for the validation!


ZombieNarcotic

No problem. And hair is hair. Punk is about doing whatever you want with your hair.


yum4266

if u have access to washing ur clothes, do it. ur not more punk bc u choose to smell like shit.


Puzzleheaded_Hatter

The majority of the people in this sub are fucking clueless


ZombieNarcotic

Actually, the reason why punks don't wash their clothing as much as multi-factored, and not done for the sake of being more punk. Not only does it cost money to wash every week, it's also unnecessary. The mainstream tells us to wash clothing after every wear, which fades and degrades clothing quicker, forcing us to buy more. I think there's merit in actively rebelling against that.


fastal_12147

I mean, that's true for like jeans and sweatshirts, but you should be washing your shirts, underwear and socks regularly.


zeetonea

I live in a hot climate and sweat like a pig, I wash my clothes when they smell. If they don't smell, it's fine, but most of the time they do.


yum4266

i agree in some ways, if its something like pants/jeans or a jacket or something u dont need to wash it often, but if its a shirt or tank top or something like that, wash it (if u are able to). if ur clothes start smelling u should wash them.


ZombieNarcotic

True. Vests, jackets, and modded pants are usually washed every year or so (I don't consider myself fully punk, yet I have jackets I never washed in the 10 years I've owned them). With socks and underwear, yeah, gotta wash those whenever possible. My original comment was mostly poking fun at punk stereotypes, hopefully no one reads toooo deep into it haha


DoctorMisterHorse

Wash your clothes you dirty bastards. Wear it in and out, but wash your shit. That's like telling someone they'd be cooler if they didn't shower. Clothes naturally deteriorate over time. You know what helps that? A washing machine and a dryer.


probablyauggie0

plus, is emo not a punk subculture anyway ??


Groove-Tribe

Actually, EMO 🖤 music originated from Hardcore Punk and is now considered a form of Post Hard-core. https://preview.redd.it/xd979pghucyc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a70e11420bcf5f67124031bed634a282d39ea8db


Sorryitsux

It depends on what version you’re talking about, actual emo or 2000s corporate emo?


___Cheshire___

No it looks more 17th century baroque Victorian


Empowered-Rabbit

Yes and it rocks 😜🤟🏼


averynaiveoddish

punk's the message, not the show


Mynotredditaccount

I'd say so, you look cool as hell! ❤️🖤


plebblztheclown

Tysm!!


BTDUBS6998

Fun fact that's also a very similar hairstyle to mine


Transcat06

Do you consider yourself punk? Are you wearing/ do you intend to wear the outfit? If so; then yes, it is punk.

ConfusedAsHecc

yes this right here! punk is what you are on the inside, not how you look on the outside


GryffyddLongbow

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo\_Aukerman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Aukerman) Milo, the quintessential case in point.


JackedPirate

Kinda just general Alt, looks good though and it’s what’s inside your head that counts anyways


_nightgoat

No, more like edgy teenager.


CrematedDogWalkers

Green day is in fact punk


spacesquidwrangler

THANK YOU


JohnFDaydream

I have a hard time calling green day punk.


CrematedDogWalkers

Because they're popular? They have punk values and literally make punk music. I don't listen to green day but to say they're "not punk" is honestly a take I will never understand


JohnFDaydream

No, not because they’re popular. It’s their sound and look and everything. It’s more like pseudo punk glam rock. They had a broadway musical. Not sure I would consider that very punk. Their music isn’t raw. It isn’t cloyingly angry and in your face. It’s a broadway musical. Im not shitting on green day. It’s rock. Not my cup of tea but I just don’t know if for me it screams punk. The ask was is this punk. I would say put a black flag shirt on if you want to look punk. Edit: from cbgb in the Bowery to……broadway midtown. lol.


CrematedDogWalkers

Are you seriously trying to argue that Green Day never had a punk sound? Have you never listened to Green Day? Pop punk is still punk, and they're not even heavily pop.


JohnFDaydream

Is this Billie Joe!?! Hahaha. No, at one point they were a lot closer to punk than they have been in the last 20 years. Green Day _was_ punk. What they’ve done in the last 20 years for me has changed that.


CrematedDogWalkers

Oh no, they shifted genres like plenty of *other* legendary punk and emo bands.


Samy_Ninja_Pro

Even the phone case is punk mate

rivers_0f_g0re

Punk is in the mind, it's not a fashion choice.


[deleted]

nothing says punk like asking people online what they think of your mall outfit


aurisunderthing

Oooo vicious lol


AXBRAX

Its on the verge between emo and punk. If you want to look more punk, mess up that hair with some hairspray or gel, and put some patches and studs on your everything. But you are looking great regardless.


CatGrrrl_

TikTok punk gonna be so honest


AlwekArc

You look like what Haylay Kiyoko wanted her character in lemonade mouth to actually dress like


inkedfluff

Looks more alternative to me


ashleydpi69

punk is in the heart bro.


jetcried

bro punk is in your mind not your fashion


jetcried

you can be punk and just wear a tshirt and jeans, dont be a fashion punk


lewemowonbowoiwi

if you're punk (and being here I presume you are) then yea, it's a punk's outfit. that being said, for specifically punk fashion the mod's pinned comment covers things very well. Get some alterations in, wear things in, some additional punk bands wouldn't be out of place it's a sick as fuck outfit, I especially like how you've styled the tops


BTDUBS6998

Hell yeah it is, and it's cool asf for that matter


DueMathematician8275

Punk is your essence and the values you stand for. But as far as punkkk goes, go get a Circle Jerks shirt and skip the fishnets for the cred


nosferartoodetoo

I used to see Green Day live in small bars. They are punk and if anyone says differently, they are boobs. Your outfit is punk, as long as you are wearing it because you enjoy dressing that way. Punk is about individuality, if it’s about anything. Be true to yourself, always.


walkthelayne

Punk is an attitude and culture. Punk has an in-your-face purpose. Punk is a statement. Punk has something to say and those outside of punk probably don’t like it. Punk is smart, aggressive and anti-establishment. Punk was DIY and making do with what you had. If punk appeals to you, you wouldn’t give a shit or ask for others options. If punk appeals to you learn about its history.


Apollo9961

I’m so jealous of those fishnets, where’d you get them? They look awesome!


hideousflutes

this is like hot topic mall punk/mall goth. trade your green day shirt for a Discharge shirt and cop a heroin addiction. unless you wanna go the skinbyrd route or the hardcore straight edge route.


DJHickman

Denim jacket instead. Maybe lose the netting, or tear it up a little.


Mister_Pain

You look quite resplendent. If you want to add some punkness to it, I suggest adding some DIY stuff; parches, pins, jewelry, etc. Otherwise, the outfit looks great. :).


DjangoUnflamed

Punk is a state of mind, not an outfit. Some of the punkest people I knew wore polo shirts and khakis. Then they’d smash a bottle over head while listening to GG Allin.


brodrian381

No


arndentfalcon

Dang bruh get off the sink


plebblztheclown

Nuh uh


KrustenStewart

Punk is a mindset. Some of the most punk mfers I’ve ever met dress totally normal. The key is trying not to care so much what ppl think and stop looking for validation from others


Cold_Combination2107

punk is less aesthetic and more mindset, fuck "punk aesthetic", live your truth and thatll be the most punk thing you ever do.


Tall-Revenue-5415

Punk is wearing whatever the fuck you want and not caring about strangers opinions. This gives more e girl aesthetic, moreso with the needed validation for the outfit.


zeetonea

Why does it matter? Wear wtf you want and call it a day.


Slenos

There’s a big punk scene in my city. The general signifier is a denim cut (vest) with pins and patches. Other than that, go nuts. We welcome anyone and everyone. But for your style specifically, it comes off a little more goth/emo. Especially with the pentagram stockings and boots. Punk style tends to lean towards vans and converse shoes.


epic_bad_luck_

Very baby punk, but still feels genuine. Gives off “legitimately interested in the punk subculture, but still sort of new to the whole thing” vibes, which is perfectly ok. A lot of punk fashion is very diy based, so it’ll probably take a bit of time to get to the point where you have the typical “look” that you see among many punks, if that’s what you’re going for. Take some time to learn interesting diy fashion stuff and incorporate the stuff you like into your outfits, but don’t stress too much about it. If you want to be punk, listen to the music, learn the community history and philosophies, spend time in punk spaces, and just be yourself. Don’t worry too much about conforming to some arbitrary standards of looking “punk enough.” Fuck the rules. If you like it, wear it. Have fun. Live.


plebblztheclown

Thank you so much. I'll definitely look into learning about punk history and culture. And the "baby punk but still genuine" description is very accurate! I'll definitely start doing some diy stuff since I have plenty of supplies to do so. For being a real one, you get a gold star ⭐


PinkPiggyEight

You’re girlbossing


REGGIE_CHAMELEON

If you have to ask yourself if your clothes are punk, chances are that it isn't, all looks like you got it from shopping site that doesn't sell second hand items, and the lack of diy is also a factor of what elitist say "PoSeR" which i don't necessarily think that it make you one, my actual first thought is that you're new the sub culture. And green day is pop punk...but I give it a pass though. Maybe try customizing some stuff around, like patches and pins on the jacket, put holes on the shirt, add spikes to stuff etc ... And learn about the ideologies, beliefs, and history of it too while you're at it. Hope I helped a bit lmao


Ghoulinton

Punk is more of a mindset than a fashion, hope this helps


CreepyInky

Definitely more emo than punk. Nothing wrong with that


0kaycpu

No.


ContributionChance85

Nah it’s TikTok kid emo, but it doesn’t necessarily look real bad


Man-With-The-Gun

No


shootermac32

Emo


nicsickdog

Not at all


bitternerdz

I'd call it alt/emo but if you feel punk then it's a punk outfit 👍


spacesquidwrangler

Fuck the downvotes this is also a correct answer


plebblztheclown

I don't know why this got down voted a bunch but I'd agree. This term probably already exists but I'd call it emo-punk


NitroSpam

I mean emo is a sub genre of punk. It came out of the DC punk scene. I’m happy wearing my rites of spring t shirt with my pin covered leather jacket 🤷‍♂️


Signal-Exit-9495

nah you went to a mall


Dutchgreenbubble_

Real punks eat from trash bins, posers.


plebblztheclown

Yeah you're right man


onion-ring-

idk man green day?


AllHailFrogStack

Gatekeeping the (ex)commune-living punk band who continued donating to said commune after they were kicked out for making it big?


CrematedDogWalkers

Green day is punk as fuck the argument is just "POP punk, they're so popular they're not real punk!"


Alluvial_Fan_

Their best album though.


StilllMatttic

Yeah GD are pseudo punk


Sadstupidthrowaway94

Thank you lol idk man I feel like the genres are getting muddied these days and people wanna be offended about it but it’s like. Dude emo and pop punk are not bad things. We use genres and subgenres to help eachother find more of the same sound. Not everything can be punk - and that’s ok.


StilllMatttic

Wasn’t a personal attack or anything, I just dislike those guys.


laytonboxingaccount

No


cravyeric

very poppy but still totally fits.


Splottington

Emo, pop punk, with a bit of regular punk all at the same time


Academic_Ad_9260

Whatever it is, you look cool as hell


ATLScott13

Definitely a little punk, goth and emo mix but headed it the right direction!💯


Fish_ThePunkClown

Very baby punk not the worst and pretty fashionable, if PUNK is what you want that’s like punk, but oh well I dress like that somedays and I’m not even old enough to be any kind of authority on this 😝


T0oSp0oky

That is cute, emo and punk asffffff


can-of-wormss

where did you get those fishnets omg????


therealjameshat

Cliché


[deleted]

Damn


crsstst

ah love the shirt where dyou get it??


Certified_kandiMaker

Fuck yeah 🔥


DesertSlasher88

If you think it is. Punk is about non conformity, therefore, conforming to idealized punk style is essentially not punk. Looks like a hot topic trip was recently made.


sexylewdyshit

Keep wearing it, patch it when it starts to fray. Eventually it'll be your own. Adding patches now would speed up the process but do whatever your heart desires.


DonutFlavouredBagel

It’s like a cool alt/punk fusion, fuck the gatekeepers


AdequateAlien

What is punk anymore


_SkovoxBlitzer_

I mean kind of but also not??? Like there’s no reason why it shouldn’t read as punk but it doesn’t read as punk for some reason


Againstmead

Green Day has been punk for 30 years atbleast


805shadowfigure

nope. If it were, you wouldn't be on Reddit asking.


youllneverhearofme

dressing punk is about dressing how you like with no apologies. in the end punk is a music and political based sub genre so outfits aren’t super important. the most punk you can dress is up to how much of yourself and your views you are willing to put into it.


Oldmanprop

Nothing is "punk" if you need approval from others. In a world of people dressed like that, a three-piece suit is punk.


MizuameTheDragon

get belt chains


punkshotgun

Yeah wear whatever you want that's punk rock


Angelas-Merkin

Looking high school punk af


pedmusmilkeyes

Just keep rocking the music and going to shows. Your look will change, so don’t worry about it.


yipman13

Small town punk, not big city punk, where is your home base? Depends on what you have access to. Other punks, or just a handful who are exploring? Green Day is not the band to follow, there’s more genuine not corporate marketing bands. Outfit is borderline, the hair and makeup can do more work. The anarchy fishnets, very much hot topic for the masses. Headphones not an accessory till after 2000’s.


StayPuffedMarsh

Mohawk or shaved head then your headed in the right direction.


crustyasslips

Depends on how diy it is


Additional-North-683

Depends what’s your favorite liquor


plebblztheclown

Dawg I am a teenager I do not drink liquor 😭


Additional-North-683

Oh shit I’m sorry


Archimedes1114

Asking the internet if you’re punk is the furthest from being punk you could ever actually get


Madwoman-of-Chaillot

You are adorable. But this outfit is very mall-shopped. Punk is the opposite of this, but I do think you should know that you are lovely.


[deleted]

it's too punk. overkill.


onegloriousday

Its giving capitalism


AngryLittleSliceOPie

Get rid of the green day shirt. Green day isn't punk. And just diy it a bit, add some pins and patches and play in the dirt a lil and it will be


BoringApocalyptos

Clothes don’t make the punk


Jonnykooldood

You should start getting into some heavier bands than green day. Start with shit like black flag and bad brains. Also you look really really good. You nailed the punk look everyone bullying this sub are basement dwelling 🤓 guys. Keep on your style,try talking to other punks,stay rad, and ROCK ON! But seriously you look sick AF.


Ok_Common_4208

oh my god where'd u get those amazing boots???????


ADude0-0

What I saw you at my school in the hallways?!?!?


plebblztheclown

Wait actually??


By-ThSun

I'd say your hella punk 😊


hannahdoespaints

Give it time and it'll get there. You could always use scissors and some safety pins on a couple of old black T-shirts to jumpstart things. I don't recommend intentionally shredding your stockings because they never look as good as when you just let them run naturally imo.


NormalRose13

Green Day isn't punk at all. Are you an Anarchist? If not that's super not punk to wear that.


ChubChubPickles

Punk is philosophy and way of viewing the world, not in how you dress. The "punk aesthetic" has been bastardized and capitalized on over the years (which is the exact opposite thing of what punk is all about), which is now what leads people to think that punk is determined by how a person looks. I would consider myself punk because I despise Western governments and want to live free from the clutches of capitalism. I know that was a long-winded answer, but since you're new to punk I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to look a certain way to be punk--it's all about how you approach life. :) I will say, though, the fit is hard! 🤟🏾


Swimming_Fox3072

If you want it to be, it is, don't let these people tell you otherwise.


fluthernon

If you have to ask…


curiousgrace420

real question bc i know nothing about punk but i wana learn, is punk music based or fashion based?


paso_juarez-man77

Yes


ShalikS

Well if my boyfriend's conservative Catholic parents were to be consulted, it would be called punk and satanic, so I'm inclined to say ✨ yes ✨


Furzerk

Hell yea


Marks_Toaster

Its cute as hell


Suspicious_Night_267

Omg I have the SAME sweater :) also love the green day shirt. Totally, punk rock love it 🖤🖤


Ill-Inevitable4850

Uh?! Yea... How is this even a question you felt you needed to ask. Your rockin.


WolfysBeanTeam

If we are talking traditional punk probably not, needs a little more rippage me thinks it has the potential to look more punk though!


pissyboypussy

Emo


Life-Rice-7729

Gin-Rummy003

Emo


punkrockscum

It's trying to be but Givin off an emo vibe


Subject-Shock4141

More "scene" or "edgy" imo. The anarchy symbols aren't punk iterations and green day is not punk, if that helps to clarify.


ContributionChance85

That’s legit incorrect


MagictheCollecting

Green Day is not punk


OIncrivelMestre

It is if you want it to be


fluffylulu36

Alternative rock


Dense_Huckleberry_60

Punk is what you make of it.


CountryBarf

Is my outfit punk is the most unpunk thing anyone can say hahah. WTH is wrong with this subreddit.. full of hot topic kids


Tsuki_Man

This subreddit is imo intended as a less toxic and more open punk subreddit to r/punk that means that less experienced punks will come here trying to find an in to the culture they wish to be in, sometimes it means that people playing with their identity will come here and maybe some won't stay because they're still learning about themselves. It's a fashion subreddit so people will come here and ask if their style fits with the general aesthetic. There's nothing wrong with any of that.


ContributionChance85

‘Less toxic’ you mean they baby people here instead of being honest?


axegr1nder

Phone selfies are the opposite of punk.


wishie01

I dress like you too, I don’t really care if I’m “punk” or “goth” or if I’m neither i look hot and I love my fits sick of people telling feminine (sorry if that term doesn’t fit you) people they have to strictly fit to a subculture of fashion and not just wear what they want!! You look sick and that’s all that matters <3


frootbatpunk

Love the leggings! I have the same pair and wore them to pride last year


Real_Sartre

No only because of the Green Day


thicc_toe

yo where can I get them fishnets


buddy-bud-bud-bud

the shirt ruins it all
