Guidelines

Punk KRBK Week 2022 will be a SFW event. What does this mean?

Punk is known for pushing boundaries. Sexuality and violence are two of many topics addressed in punk music for many reasons. We understand this and we value the importance of sexual and expressive freedom.

However, this specific event is going to be open to creators of all ages, and thus some ground rules will be in place to make this event as fun and punk as possible while also being safe and inclusive for everyone.

Depictions of smoking and drinking will be accepted at a 'PG-13' level. Depictions of the use of pills, syringes, and similar drug paraphernalia are discouraged and will not be retweeted by the Punk KRBK Week account.

Pornographic content will not be allowed in this week event.

Depictions of canon-typical violence are OK.

Please tag all works where necessary.

What about song lyrics?

Song lyrics are loved and encouraged, but please practice discretion and use tags where necessary.

What types of work can I make?

All forms of art are welcome. Fanfiction, songs, fanart, comics, arts and crafts, cosplay, patches, anything you can make to celebrate Punk KRBK.

Are AUs, headcanons, etc. allowed?

Absolutely.

What about other subcultures? (Emo, goth, scene, etc.)

There is a lot of overlap between these movements and punk, so please feel free to explore these as well!

So what is punk, anyway?

Punk is a musical and ideological subculture.

The word 'punk' was first used to describe music in the early 1970s. Punk was defined by a hard, aggressive garage rock sound. It began to attract disillusioned people, especially youths, becoming a way for them to express dissatisfaction with their political and social climate.

Punk has become a worldwide community of artists, musicians, and people of all ages, races, nationalities, sexualities, and gender identities.

Punk does not have to have a specific 'look' or aesthetic. It has no rules aside from maintaining its anticapitalist, antifascist and social justice oriented roots.

How can I learn more about Punk?

Punk is different all over the world and in different social spaces. No source can truly encapsulate the entire punk movement, especially because the mod of this event can only read English, and worldwide punk movements are documented in different languages.

That said, here are links to some cool punk resources.

Doing your own research, especially into the punk scene in your own city or community, may also lead you some exciting places!

Documents and songs in the following links may contain intense language, imagery, and themes.

We are only accepting SFW work for this event, but these firsthand resources about Punk would not be accurate if artistic and criticial materials were censored. Please view these at your own discretion.
