By popular demand, I have compiled every video in my 'Amateur's Guide to Moomin' into one convenient video, with additional footnotes, corrections, and a newly added section discussing the changes that have occurred with the Moomin series since the publishing of the original videos. Join me as I explore the series' history and its author, Tove Jansson, to discover what we can learn from this peaceful family of trolls.

Special thanks to @marsmombestmom for helping with the Swedish Translation and corrections.

If you people start giving Hobie Brown the Eddie Munson effect I'm going to start killing. His ass would not be listening to arctic monkeys be so fr

i like never do this & im sorry to hijack yr post (especially seeing as you are a person i do not know!!) but another thing im seeing on these playlists is an absolutely abysmal amount of black artists. spider-punk is and has always been a black character, and black people are frequently pushed out of alternative and subcultural spaces, so i'm going to offer some black punk artists i personally enjoy for i guess playlist consideration aimed towards some of the ppl in the notes, although this isn't definitive & hobie's taste will of course not necessarily be my own.

also to note before we get into this is that punk is a culture of resistance. hobie in specific (though i don't know how much of this will be part of his characterization in the spiderverse trilogy going forward---he's pretty different in atsv, which isn't a bad thing) has been depicted in the comics as a homeless teenager living under a fascist government. regardless of whether or not that depiction is accurate for this version of hobie is irrelevant for now; the point i'm making is that his attachment to punk is not purely aesthetic in nature. i think keeping the radical aspects of punk in general and of spider-punk in specific in mind are important when discussing the character.

anyway.

  • death (this one is kind of essential in terms of punk history. they started recording songs under the band name death in 1971 and disbanded in 1977, but their music was only relatively recently properly released. they've been occasionally cited as the first punk band ever.)
  • pure hell (another early & extremely influential punk group, this one from 1974. in contrast with the isolation death operated within, pure hell were heavily involved in the early punk scene.)
  • bad brains (originally an american jazz group who became punk with a reggae fusion. they cite pure hell as an early influence, which is pretty cool.)
  • x-ray spex (70s english punk band fronted by poly styrene, whose vocals greatly influenced the later riot grrrl movement. notable for lyrical attacks on commercialism and corporate artifice.)
  • zulu (i fucking love zulu so much guys you should all listen to zulu right now. they're frequently described as powerviolence, which is accurate, but they also incorporate elements from various historically black genres, like funk, jazz, & soul. you can listen to one zulu album and get a ton of different musical experiences it rules.)
  • bob vylan (london-based punk rap duo. to me they're like the ideal of what punk set out to be in the first place, ideologically speaking. i don't even know what else to say here. if you're interested in modern punk and aren't listening to bob vylan you should be. they're insanely skilled and deserve to be the center of the conversation.)

this post has gone on long enough you get the gist. & if you actually feel inspired enough to want to make a 100% accurate spider-punk playlist, get into your local scene and see what's playing there. it's what he would want, probably.

i'd also recommend big joanie, soul glo, the muslims and minority threat!!

adding onto this: bob vylan has a fucking crazy good name for a band and also I JUST listened to We Live Here and it's insanely good

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

OP this is EXCELLENT

Now THAT’S a self care resource! If you’ve gotten distracted by capitalism’s appropriation of “self-care” and watering the meaning down to nothing this is a super helpful guide to cut through the bullshit.
