/fa/ - Fashion

I know everyone hates talking about authenticity but do you think punk dressing is one of those fashion subcultures that requires at least some level of authenticity even if it's just listening to the band on your t-shirt? In comparison to something like cosplaying as a lumberjack, being seen as a punk poser seems worse.

Where do you draw the line between being inspired by punk fashion and looking like some studded-out tumblr retard?

And what does the modern punk where nowadays? IMHO I believe they'd probably find the stereotypical "punk uniform" to be contrived as fuck

Further adding to my point.....

Take this fit from sufu for example. This kid spends a lot of time on tumblr consuming pictures of Japanese punk fashion(he isn't one though). While this outfit would be acceptable in Japan and no one might even call him out on it, to our western tastes he looks like some suburban kid playing punk dress-up. Even Sufu told him he looked like he was cosplaying and that he should tone it down. The guy lives in California but dresses up like some harajuku kid all the while forgetting he doesn't live in tokyo. He looks ridiculous both on the internet(as perceived by a Western audience) and in real life. Questioning him on his punk way of life would out him as being a phony making him look even more ridiculous and try-hard as opposed to in Japan where most people would clearly identify he is just playing at fashion and no one would expect him to have any actual hardcore punk beliefs
