Abstract

Social media can be an important site for punks to make sense of punk music and culture. Of course, each social media platform offers unique ways for punks to engage one another and for punk scholars to understand one way that punks interact. In August 2023 a thread in the r/punk subreddit asked the question, “Anyone here ever read the Bible or Quran?” (u/Andymilliganisgod,2023). Because the question was posted in a punk thread, the discussion quickly turned to the relationship between punk and religion. And as should probably be expected, this included discussions around what is and what is not punk. The fact this part of the discussion took place is not necessarily a problem—as with religious discourse, it is important to define terms before engaging in any meaningful discussion.
