Corporate Punk describes punk bands or punk fashion brands created by corporate businesses that are more
interested in
making money than spreading a message.
Corporate Punk bands attempt to stay as apolitical as possible to be appealing to everyone. They make songs about empty anger, trying to put on a fake persona of anger without having any real opinions or thoughts in their songs. Corporate Punk bands may also be industry plants.
Corporate Punk fashion brands describes a brand making clothes with super cheap fabric and making the item super expensive. It's extra corporate punk-ish if the item is made poorly to look DIY, but still costs 50$.
Synonyms for corporate punk include;
industry plant (for bands), poseur, poor mouth, and capitalist punk.

just like that.
