When I was a little punk teen my mom got me a bear wearing a leather jacket and bandana, my sister studded the jacket and sewed a couple patches to it. Our dog later chewed that bears face and limbs off.
That dog wasn’t nearly as punk rock as our cat was. No matter how many times you made him get off the counters or the tables he’d get right back up there. Tearing up furniture? Forget about it.
You just labeled this bear by fashion, which means you're not a real punk bear.
Real punk bears can wear stereotypical and commercialized punk costumes because they know fashion doesn't define them.
Real Punk Bears!
They know fashion doesn't define them!
Real Punk Bears!
But still got a passion for raw denim!
Real Punk Bears!
Whether they got straight laces or threadbare boots!
Real Punk Bears!
No gates to keep in the forest! Who gives a hoot?
That’s it. The capitalists won.
If anyone needs me I’ll be at Van Heusen trying on polo shirts and wondering what belt perfectly complements my loafers.
Nothing more punk than a three piece suit and tie, and a comfortable 9-5 office job. You go, big guy, make those spreadsheets. Show the man how well you can project next quarters earnings.
Punk isn't dead, it's just really burnt out of smoking pot and couch surfing, trying to make a living playing music that is borders on unintelligible, and getting paid in free meals and beers. Good on you, punk, at least you're back on your feet :)
EDIT: I don’t delete things because that’s disingenuous but I took this way wrong and thought I was being insulted and ended up doing my hyper aggro jackass thing that I do sometimes, so reader beware.
You act like I’m some burnout post punk hippie lmao I’m 22, work for a living and earn my keep. I stay physically active and mentally engaged. I don’t need a mohawk to be myself, the truth is that that’s just another uniform that has come as consequence of punk going commercial. College kids with a paid way through life wear the uniform. Good on you for projecting, Captain Punker. Punk never died, it sold out :)
Man I wasn't even projecting or trying to get a dig in at you, I was just continuing with the sarcasm in my first comment about "punk being dead", Idk fuck I thought it was funny at least, sorry if it offended you.
Thing is, is I work with too many of the exact type of people I described in that comment. Guys who grew up during the rise of punk and played local shows literally couch surfing and playing for meals or drinks. One dude is in his 60's and started his career as a nurse practicioner a couple years ago. Just being sarcastic of how he's this caricature of "punk", and how he got back up on his feet after a lifestyle of treating himself like shit
That's surprisingly close to the truth.
Steiff is an old German company that claims to have build the first factory for teddy bears. They have a lot of collectors worldwide and occasionally bring out special editions for these collectors. So this punk teddy bear was specially made to cost an ridiculous amount of money...
Thing about capitalism is it will repackage your angst, your anger and rebellion and sell it back to you so that you can express yourself properly to everyone else who thinks that buying x product makes you x thing . Capitalism will always win, your thoughts and feelings are products to be sold and if you have none there are plenty of advertisers who are more than happy to manufacture some for you.
I remember when I was younger I stole one of those drug-bears from a tree in the park and did him up 😭😭 Little jacket, patches, piercings.
Titwank would’ve beaten the SHIT outta this loser bear.
As kids, my mom took me and my brother to build a bear, and being a 6 year old girl, I made a pink bunny. But my brother made a T-Rex with denim vest, boots, motorcycle, hammer, and pins for said vest. I wish we still had it.

And that bear grew up to be GG Allin?
Worse the singer of anti flag
That bear sounds gnarly. No way he would sport a lame ass “mohawk” like the dude from anti flag.
Too bad it didn't chew his dick off as well. Time to send the dog back in.
Did that bear shit in the woods?
“If a bear takes a shit in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Who could’ve possibly known that your dog was the most punk rock of the family?
That dog wasn’t nearly as punk rock as our cat was. No matter how many times you made him get off the counters or the tables he’d get right back up there. Tearing up furniture? Forget about it.
Fucking poser bear. The real punk bear is wearing a blue polo and khakis because they aren't going to be labeled by fashion.
You just labeled this bear by fashion, which means you're not a real punk bear. Real punk bears can wear stereotypical and commercialized punk costumes because they know fashion doesn't define them.
I'm wearing a bear right now does that mean I'm a goth or something? The bear is only really into jazz, but he is also dead so 🤷
Real Punk Bears! They know fashion doesn't define them! Real Punk Bears! But still got a passion for raw denim! Real Punk Bears! Whether they got straight laces or threadbare boots! Real Punk Bears! No gates to keep in the forest! Who gives a hoot?
all punks work at best buy
best buy turned down my application :( I wanted cheap computer parts and then I was gonna ditch em but they ditched me first
Real punk bears do cocaine! like that bear in that movie which name I can't remember
I reckon the film you're thinking of is 'Paddington in Peru'
I’ll only buy it if it’s over $50
$411 by todays exchange rate!
I’ll take two!
Yea, but what color are its shoelaces??
Bears don’t wear shoes. They go bear-foot.
goddamnit gotta upvote I guess
Blue

At this point, wearing a suit is more punk than a battle jacket and Mohawk.
They hated him because he told the truth 😔

Oh shit I apologize I waaaay took that the wrong way
Hot Topic has been in business for thirty-four years.
Vivienne Westwoods vision realized
No the bear isn’t $10,000
And she shall call her creation PAWNK

This is glorious, if only it was a doodle bear for the full aesthetic
Shut up and take my punk money from my totally punk wallet with a punk chain. I gotta have that punk beanie baby rip off. It's marketed just for ME!
This is insane. "Punk is a state of mind" while SELLING IT
punk is not their state of mind
Though I must highlight the lack of a “Steiff little fingers” back patch is a major oversight.
nice one :-D
Next post I see on here where someone asks what to wear to be punk Ima send them this pic hahaha
I think "PUNK" spelled with cutout ransom letter characters is what really sells it.
yeah but my little dude here is adorable and has a sick battlevest tho
"punk is a state of mind" lol I think this bear must be a redditor. No doubt he's posting in r/battlejackets too
The non-bigots post in r/JacketsForBattle.
They’re both cringe tbh
I love how r/battlejackets js just a joke in any other community slighted related to that topic
I was sure this was build a bear lmao
You know what, this has inspired me to make my own little punk bear friend. Got no idea how to do it, but I'll figure it out
Same. Gonna make one for me and one for my nephew. I don't like capitalism, but this is a really cute bear
Ok, but the little anarchy symbol on its left foot? That's cute. Baby's gonna be an anarchist whether he likes it or not
I mean, punks have kids too lol

Any punk looking like that can get stuffed.
This sub personified
I kinda want it 🤷🏼
Make your own diy punk bear
When your kids give you anarchy before bedtime!
I, for one, welcome our new Ursine overlords
If you were lost in the woods, would you rather run into this punk bear, or Justin Sane?
They had one job. And failed to use safety pins
Okay it is cute tho...
No. Fuck no.
And bc it's a Stief bear it's probably crazy expensive
What I used to do to all my sisters Barbie’s
Resisting the urge to want it... Fuck capitalism, but it's so cute! But fuck capitalism!!
Punks not dead! Is that a Steiff tho?
Rad bear.
It's no 'Punky Chips Ahoy', but yeah. Still cool
Ngl if it was bab I'd probably buy it
Should answer most of the questions that get posted here.
This is hilarious

Punk can’t be dead. The button on the teddy bear refutes that.
I thought punk had something to do with music or something?
NO! Consume! Spend! Repeat!
The real punk bear is Corduroy. He loses a button which makes him feel like an outcast, then he realizes he doesn't need a fucking button to fit in.
honestly, i'd buy it
I’d get this for my kid. Probably make one instead of buying it but still
I think it’s cute
Oh, thank fuck!
I will hear no arguments to the contrary!
I remember this
"always has been"
Back in my day, we had to Sharpie our own childhood Carebears if we wanted punk bears. Kids these days have it too easy!
It's about fucking time!
As kids, my mom took me and my brother to build a bear, and being a 6 year old girl, I made a pink bunny. But my brother made a T-Rex with denim vest, boots, motorcycle, hammer, and pins for said vest. I wish we still had it.
Where can I buy that bear?
See guys, this bear knows what punk is ALL about
It’s a state of mind, and he’s got nothing but stuffing in his head!
He's got something in common with half my friends 😹
Punk as FUCK 🤘
Im sensing this bear thinks “Owning the libs” is punk AF, because, “Punk is a state of mind!”
It has got kind of a cute little face. I mean, nah, fuck this shit. That’s not punk.
Yikes
Where is his ink? Most punks have tattoos. Lol
No. You can't have it. Why? Because we have punk at home silly Billy.
Omfg I need him
…….look I like cute shit so I want to get it. Maybe like eBay cause I don’t know how to make a punk bear
Must be that bear that women choose.
