being punk or alt or whatever is inherently left-wing. it was literally BORN out of progressive thought and a strong desire to rebel and “sticking it to the man”. conservatives cannot be punk. liberals can’t be punk either. leftists and only leftists can be punk.

“Alt” is a useless category. It’s just a general term that refers to basically every subculture to ever exist, regardless of what the basis of the subculture is. It’s almost impossible to make any claims about.

And if a conservative says they are alt then they’re a poser

If by alt you mean counterculture then I’d argue no “liberal” is alt either

Being punk or alt is inherently counterculture. If you live somewhere where everyone expects you to be a leftist, being conservative is counterculture. Plenty of pierced and tatted conservatives in blue cities, you just probably assume they’re leftists when u see them

Well, yeah, if they’re a “liberal”, then they’re technically conservative

if you ARE conservative and think you’re allowed to call yourself punk, you’re a fucking poser loser. Joey Ramone hates you. Billy Joe Armstrong hates you. Keith Morris hates you.

generally, from my experience anyways, most people use “alt” to cover most contemporary alternative music, most punk and post-hardcore music, and certain very specific pop artists in an adoptive sort of way. i’d agree though, it’s very broad and lose now.
