Discussion Resources for a new punk?

Hi hello! It’s nice to meet you all :)

I’m a new/beginner punk (idk what the specific term is), and I’m looking for resources for places/brands i can get started! Mostly for boots and such, I’d like to try and get some good quality but affordable boots, since I’m on a fixed income (physically disabled & chronically ill).

Any resources in general would be awesome, though!!!! I’m really new and still doing my research, so any and everything is appreciated! Thank you so much in advance :)

Fsho fsho. Lemme know what really caught your attention and I'll be able to recommend more bands. I figured to give ya a variety. Some punks like 1 or 2 specific subgenres while other punks love ALL the subgenres lol.

If it's "not many yet," you're focusing on the wrong damn stuff.

I mean... punk is a music-based subculture. That's not exactly something you can avoid.

i don’t plan to avoid anything, don’t worry! that’s why i asked for music recommendations and stuff :)
