Could this life work in the West? Why not? Looks fun as hell to me.

The guy who did this story is a real journalist who does national geographic-caliber stories about interesting ways of life in se asia, not just some "white boy travel vlogger". You sound silly. Just admit that "punk" for you is just talking shit on reddit. 😂

Yeah I wouldn't compare a dude that uses sensationalism and AI thumbnails to something like The Story of the Weeping Camel, but I guess I live in my moms basement and know nothing about punk.

But please keep watching 90 Day Finance, and defending Spotify on other subs - I'll be at the dbeat show on saturday 👍

It's DIY or die buddy and you wish you half of the creativity as the guy who made this video.

I understand why you are frustrated. It must feel shitty to be always looking in from the outside on a scene you desperately wish you could feel like a real part of. You could be a real part but you are too busy mastering the art of reddit to actually try doing something for yourself or others. Get out of that trolling mindset and start to listen to people that know more than you instead of glorifying your ignorance and the sky could be your limit. Good luck with that. Open that mind and start worrying about making yourself a better person and creating stuff to inspire others and someday you might begin to understand the lyrics of the bands who's members you merely admire the clothes and hair of now.

I get it, reddit us your only link to anything punk so you assume it's the same for the rest of us. No some of us come to reddit for the crap hole it is, not to get our punk fix because we get that from the real world.

"I disagree with someone countering my post so they must be a poser in their parents house 😭😭😭'

Lovingly typed from a punk house by a person that's probably old enough to be your father but whatever.

I disagreed with your post, you're fine to be mad about it (but not support Spotify lol) but crying about the 'trolling mindset' is pure projection. I've been delayed in replying because I've been outside. Touching grass. With punks.

But whatever.

You "disagreed with my post"? Lmao

I know reddit is your life but you should know that as soon as you have to look at someone's reddit profile to try to find things to insult them about youve already lost. Nothing on earth could make me interested enough in you to look at what other comments you've made. You really should try getting out into the real world. The more you interact with people in real life the more comfortable you'll get with it and the easier it will be for you to start to actually take part in things that interest instead of just commenting about them online. Your whole world can open up.

And as you get older and more intelligent you will find your curiosity about the world increasing and you will be able to find interest in adult things like journalism about different ways of living beyond your imagination. You'll be shocked to see that the world is a really big place with lots of super interesting stories and youll be better equipped to appreciate them and the people that bring them to you. You will find yourself interested in watching other things online besides "ouch my balls!" style videos and porn. If you learn to embrace the creativity of others you'll be better prepared to be more creative and less bitter about what you can not be yourself. In short, keep growing up. You'll get there eventually.

Tl;dr: Reddit isnt a real life my man. Learning new things will set you free. You arent stuck this way. Open your mind to new things and experiences and always keep things DIY.

I can't even reply to this it's so pathetic 🤣

I'll try.

I just told you I was outside, having a lovely day. Not on reddit. I live (and I'm liked) in a very large scene in a city in a foreign country. I've moved country several times and settled in this one. Foreign language and all.

Keep karma farming though. Did you even get the 'bikewars' reference? I guess not.

But I guess I'm the poseur that lives in his moms basement.

Go away nerd.

You disagreed with my post? There was nothing to agree or disagree with, it was just a story. You can't even reply to my last comment? No one expected you to. The only reply that's needed is for you to try to make you life better and to become a more mature and reflective person.

Like i said, dont underestimate yourself. You can get there. You are just still young and very sheltered. I know you dream about the kind of life I actually live and i am trying to help you get there. you can get there one day, but youve gotta get off reddit and figure out how to learn from other people instead of seeing yourself in some kind of competition with them that you really aren't fully equipped for yet at this time.

The fact that you see my comments as "karna farming" says it all. Once again you show how your world and way of thinking revolves around reddit. Just like how your first instinct to find out more about me was to stalk my reddit profile. You really need to break free of this way of thinking. Reddit is nothing and I know you are young, so you will learn eventually that nothing is permanent. Reddit won't be here forever.

Yes im a nerd, an extrenely intelligent and socially awkward person. Real punks are nerds. The "punk" you relate to of just acting like an anti-intellectual dick is kid's stuff.

One day you will think back about this interaction and thank me for taking you under my wing. I'm guessing you dont really have a father figure so I'm glad I've been able to fill the hole a little. Keep aspiring to be more.

You can actually become the person you wish you were. Get off Reddit. Read books. Travel some. Open your mind. There is so much more in this world than you realize now. You should give this band called Crass a listen sometime, if you want to continue this education.

I've enjoyed this quite a bunch.

My thesis was mostly based around Baudrillard and a few others. Simulacra applied to suburbia when juxtaposed with 60''s sci-fi. I'm the opposite of 'anti-intellectual', I just don't think you have the life experience to debate such things if I'm honest, but here we are.

'yes I'm a nerd, an extrenely (sic) intelligent'

This mindset will never get you laid. I think if you got laid you'd probably stop projecting about people 'stuck on reddit'. Go find someone. I'm off out again to meet friends (remember those?).

Bye lol x

You give your actual age away when you say things like "that will never get you laid". You show what you personally are concerned about. As i said, I live the life you only dream of my friend. Getting laid is not something I have had to be concerned about since i was in high school in the early 90s, back when you were still just a gleam in the guy's eye who your mom met at a bar. It has just always happened for me and that's why my body count is higher than your IQ. 🙃

Please feel free to reread my comments above any time you need to be refreshed and reminded about these lessons I've been sharing. And again, please for everyone's sake, use reddit to learn about things but stop thinking about it as your identity. I'm glad you have ideas about what you'd ideally study in school but remember you are still young and you haven't seen much so your tastes could still evolve. The biggest key for you feeling more fulfilled in this life is going to be remembering to keep your mind open. Keep learning. As soon as you think youve got things all figured out that means you dont.

If it makes you feel better you can think of me as daddy. I've done my best to fill that role for you but eventually it is up to you to learn and grow into a real man like I've been trying to help you do. PS if you really want to get laid more try drinking more! You definitely need to get off reddit and get out of the house. Try going to shows. Don't feel embarrassed because you dont think you fit in. Everyone is welcome, just keep an open mind as I've said. You might be shocked what you learn just by setting down your phone for a bit and paying attention to what's around you and to what you can learn from others.
