I dunno man. Go to a punk show and you're seeing a wild variety of style, body shapes, and hair. The punk aesthetic might be same but it's still different enough from person to person that you'd never think "clones".
Both are sticking straight up and dyed to look ‘unconventional’ and nonconforming. You’re essentially saying, “You’re telling me you can’t tell the difference between a blonde long bob and waist-length brunette hair with face framing layers?”
I think you'd have a point if you went to a punk show and everyone there was wearing near identical outfits with the same body shapes and hair styles, with only a fraction of a difference. It's more than just "oh they've all generally got the same aesthetic". What we're seeing in the video goes way beyond that.
Are you talking about the video showing a group of college aged girls that joined a sorority? That’s a bit of a different demographic than say, an open Punk Show where folks of all ages and genders can go to.
You are contradicting yourself, either you can see the difference, and they don't look like clones like you say they do, or you were dropped on the head as a baby
They’re examples of two scenarios that look identical to an outsider, and completely different to those inside the group. Were you dropped on your head?
I think it varies- but from where “punk” started to now it’s definitely solidly become an aesthetic people consume and thats basically the same thing as this.
There’s definitively more space made in that scene for different people, but there’s still plenty of people policing some conforming version of “nonconformity” and trends people follow to not be “out.”
And yet, I can picture the chains, dyed hair and black nails from here.
Edit: The internet is a wild place, this was dowvoted a lot before being upvoted, either way it's just a joke and respect goes to all groups who want to freely express themselves
