punk? nicepunk?
I was driving and several people in interesting clothes crossed the street. I thought they were a bit punk, but not your normal punk? They were crossing on red, very anti-justice I guess?
I don't know what punk really is, but I think it's just a word for counterculture mixed with rebellion.
Some folks like cyberpunk, and put punk on anything.
What about nicepunk? When everyone is mean and angry all the time, is it punk to be nice?
Then I remembered Raspberyl from Disgaea 3.

Disgaea 3 takes place in a school for demons, in The Netherworld, the translation of Makai... which I think is just Japanese for Magic World.
In this school things are topsy turvey. The students are praised and rewarded for acting in defiance of rules and structure and being as evil and chaotic as they please.
Raspberyl is the legendary delinquent who obeys all the rules, is never tardy, and does all the good girl things she can. On purpose. She knows. She understands.

For a while, I described my prefered fashion style as cutepunk, because I tend to present as male, or at least appear male? But I like cute stuff that is considered girly or kiddy, or both. So, I reject cultural norms and do it anyways! Cutepunk!
I wonder about Nicepunk though. Would it just be like, being nice and friendly and polite and kind? Or would it be about going to an exaggerated extreme? What would that even look like?
re: punk? nicepunk?
@Felthry That is a thing that I do!
Though, there's being nice to people who are rude, for the sake of being the better person, there's being nice for the sake of showing how, and there's being nice just because you're nice to everyone, and I think they're all different.
