Lil Punk Seeking Advice

Hi all! I have been following this community for some time on and off. Punk aesthetics have always stuck with me, as have the history behind them and their historical movements. Punching Nazis seems to be more important than ever, and I also intend to use the harsher look of punks to protect myself (queer, trans, hard leftist...) at protests. I also increasingly find myself disgusted at the process of my money going to any of the billionaires willing to sell out everyone beneath them, and the culture of DIY here feels very... important. Cathartic, even in small ways.

I am younger (currently a uni student) and as such have only found an emotional connection with 3rd wave punk. My mom passed Fall Out Boy to me in particular. My music taste generally trends away from more proper/core punk bands, though. I worry about being generally ostracized because of my lack of knowledge.

I am a leader of local organizations for helping people in need. Politics has always been an interest of mine, and I am tired of letting Nazis go unpunched. Going back and seeing first wave punks is deeply inspiring. There have always been people who want to help others and don't care what anyone else thinks. And even in the face of all the crap in the 80s, they didn't back down. Makes me realize that I don't need to back down either!

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for someone like me? Potential punks more interested in the politics than music. Is that a valid way to punk, or is an identification like that superfluous? Above all, does anyone have any recommendations for DIYing resources? I've already grabbed some stuff from Spikes and Studs. Works like a charm.

I also want to avoid the sort of Pinterest board aesthetic punk without meaning, and I am interested to hear peoples' thoughts here on what being punk means in a more genuine, less commercialized sense.

Thanks all :)
