Post guidelines:

1. Relevance to punk music/subculture

News, interviews, and tour dates are encouraged — especially if it helps to spur interest at the local and international levels. In-depth discussions on all aspects of punk culture, from DIY projects to neighborhood bands, are even better.

2. Bland Song Posts

Include info in your post [subgenre, location, year]. This contextualizes the song, gives an incentive to check out your submission, and makes it easier for us to discover bands in our neighborhoods.

3. Repetitiveness

Repetitive questions and discussions on stale topics — What’s the meaning of punk? You’re not a punk if you do X, Y and Z, Is Green Day Punk? What do you think about G.G. Allin — will be removed, they've been posted before if you want to know the answer search on the sub or check out our FAQ under resources.

4. Don't discriminate

Any racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia will not be tolerated, nor will be the use of slurs. Any of this is a bannable offense. This is a community of Punks, all are welcome and all should feel welcome.

5. Spam

Posting more than five songs a day is considered spamming and is a bannable offense.

6. Reddiquete

Follow reddiquette. Downvote content that contributes nothing to the community — not stuff that differs from your personal tastes. Unnecessary downvoting chokes varied content creation and discourages unique submissions.

7. Memes

No memes or image macros. These should be taken to r/punkmemes. Or r/punkfashion.

8. NAZISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

This is a Punk subreddit, we will not allow Nazism, or Nazi apologists to plague our scene or our sub, this is an immediate ban. This includes RAC and other fence walking bullshit. Images and videos of Nazis getting what's coming to them are welcome, but it's got to be Punks or Skins giving them the boot.

9. No Criminal/Illegal activity

Posting anything that indicates involvement in illegal activity, or could incriminate someone is likely to be used by bad people to put this community and its members in danger, and is absolutely forbidden.
