He’s also a nerd who loves comics, critical hits, cartoons and Charmanders.
Join him dissect friendship, growing up, anarchism, feminism & dinosaurs.
Think a wand-wielding Joe Strummer battling a Tory-voting Darth Vader.
With The Avengers smashing the box office and everyone in the world now owning an Adventure Time t-shirt, does that mean geekiness is now mainstream?
Is punk deader than Ned Stark*? Where are the underground scenes redefining punk rock?
How can we destroy the sexism & bigotry of #GamerGate like blowing up a Death Star*?
So grab your cosplay costume and celebrate an underground culture for introverts, outsiders, the nerds and punks.

bjork is a punk moth from wherever, looking to network with other "contemporaries", since kathy acker is dead and even the prospect of meeting her intimidates me anyway. bjork continues to wonder why the fuck she brands herself at all, without questioning the paradoxical relationship one embraces with punk.
