A Decade of Punk: Looking Back and Moving Forward

 

Greetings, fellow punk enthusiasts! 

It's been ten years since I started this blog, and I'm excited to reflect on the evolution of punk music and my journey with it. Over the years, I've seen many changes in the music industry, and my own interests have evolved as well. However, my passion for DIY, old-school, hardcore punk music remains as strong as ever. 

The Evolution of Music Consumption: 

 
When I started this blog in 2013, people were still downloading MP3s. But now, most people listen to music on streaming services like Spotify and Bandcamp. While I've found myself turning more and more to these platforms in recent years, I still appreciate the value of collecting physical copies of music. There's something special about holding a vinyl record or a cassette tape in your hands and experiencing the music in a tangible way.

Exploring New Avenues: 

 
In recent years, my passion for punk music has led me down new avenues. I've developed a newfound interest in screen printing and have set up a small printing atelier. I've been revisiting some of my older blog posts and using them as inspiration for creating bootleg prints on shirts and hoodies. If you're as passionate about hardcore punk as I am, you might find something you like in my Etsy shop.

The DIY Spirit Lives On: 

 
The DIY spirit has always been at the heart of punk music, and it's something that I've embraced in my own journey. Screen printing has become a significant part of my life, and I'm excited about the prospect of branching out into other nerdy interests that I hold dear. Who knows, you might see some unique and unconventional designs inspired by all things punk and beyond.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, I'm grateful for all the support I've received over the years, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for punk music with you all. Whether you're a die-hard collector of vinyl records or a fan of streaming services, there's a place for you in the punk scene. And if you're interested in some hardcore punk shirts or hoodies, don't hesitate to visit my Etsy shop. As always, stay true, stay punk!
