The coolest new wave of punk subculture which involves posting yourself in the classic 70s punk style, wearing extravagant makeup, piercings and untamed hair dyed into unnatural colours. Side by side, Instagram punks and the scene subculture are very similar, with one being the lovechild of techno and emo culture, and the other being the love child of social media narcissism and your dad’s (or lack thereof) music collection.
Alternating themselves from the original 70s punks, Instagram punks don’t hold any strong legitimate view of political happenings / philosophies. However, many hold a baseline of which style of Instagram punk they want to portray through their online personality. For example, a communist Instagram punk may enhance their online persona by sharing their distaste for capitalism from their Chinese sweatshop-produced phone while regularly enjoying fast food. Some other Instagram punks may also share a message of hatred for government and surveillance despite regularly donating selfies to a multi million dollar corporation’s database to be data mined.

*Thinking* Girl: Wow, what is with the abundance of Instagram punks nowadays?

Get the Instagram mug.Initiating contact through someone's Instagram profile by liking their older posts. Sometimes responded by nothing, other times responded in the same fashion. Usually means they are interested in you and you should slide in their dms. Can be considered a mating call.
