Description:
AnarchoPunk is the combination of two concepts, anarchism and punkrock.
It's not about a specific sound, nor a uniform ideology. Anarchopunk is
a term used to describe those individuals and groups in the HC/punk community
who are using the music and culture as a means to expressing political
convictions and ideas. It is not about buying Crass CDs or Anarchy™ shirts
from the mall. It is also not about converting everyone to a specific
party or party-line. The simple idea is that the state and its servants
stand in opposition to humyns individual freedom. Punk can be more than
music, and that's the concept behind this web ring.
Qualifications:
If you want in, your site must
contain information relating to anrachism or radical politics, preferably
with some pertanence to punk culture. Although I'm happy to include political sites
that are not specifically punk, I will NOT consider punk sites that have
no obvious political nature (though I've decided that those selling/trading anarchopunk merchandise
can be included). Just having a circle A on your page does
not qualify it! I'm also happy to include band/label pages under the same
conditions. If you have a Citizen Fish page that's just pictures of the band
then that doesn't make it political. I'm sorry if that seems narrow, but
this ring wasset up for a purpose and you are free to make another one
if it doesn't suit your needs. Post up some
lyrics or an interview, and you're in! Also, I will waste no time on chaos
punk, drunk punk, or even apolitical sXe punk. I'm not saying those things can't
have their place, just that it's not here. I hope that these restrictions don't
turn anyone off... I just want to keep it productive and useful, not end up
as another watered-down punk rock indice. Finally, you must include the Javascript code that comes
by e-mail on your page if you want to remain in the Ring. Otherwise, what's the fucking point?
I know you're lazy, so am I, but just do it and let's make something of this...peace - Jeff
