What are the common political and general beliefs of those in the current, modern "punk" scene? Every self-described punk that I've met recently seems to subscribe to liberal Democrat politics and general tumblr politics like telling others what they can and can't say, which seems very contradictory to what punk was about in the first place.
Can anybody who's a part of this please enlighten me?
Depends if you mean the actual, proper punk scene or the "punk" scene.
The former is largely a libertarian leftist perspective.
The latter is a racial/gender politics focused mish-mash of liberal and socialist principles.

I imagine there's more than one "scene". The punks that I'm familiar with are leftists, and wouldn't consider the dems to be left leaning at all.
Also gender politics etc isn't antithetic to punk ethos. Punk is supposed to be anti establishment. If your establishment is sexist and racist, then asking people not to use slurs isn't anti free speech. These people are striking back at things that hurt their communities.
Punk is dead m8
If you're talking about fashionistas that coopted the whole Westwood/mclaren bit then you're probably going to get a lot of daft lil ninnys fucking about with identity politics and a poor understanding of marxism and anarchy.
Ever seen Decline of the Western Civ? Not many Darby Crashes running around are there?
But really people who still consider themselves punks nowadays? There's a few but they all killing themselves so I mostly call them suicidial nihilists. Is drug addiction a form of politics?

ITT: albums p4k would pan if they were released today but slapped a high score on because it was already recognized by actual musicians

She/he whatever the fuck it is recognises as trans and makes dance music, its 2016, that would warrant atleast a 9.2. They gave a trans/feminist punk band an 8.5 and a full blown tranny a 9.0 this year alone. If you're sexually queer and a musician p4k is up your ass quicker than Mandingo

What music does this type of person listen to?
>>66472916
the meaty sound of manflesh bumping up against their arse as they take it all while thinking about trump
Taylor Swift but they don't tell anybody
statistically, the beatles, seeing as they've sold more records than any other band in history
Let's play this game. Pick which band is better then pit it up against another band, and keep it going.

Don't joke about this stuff
TURN ON CNN
you're a shitty person
see these guys posted here all the time. very intrigued. where should I start? chronologically? do they have any one album that is a good gateway into their style?
>>66472317
probably soundtrack for the blind. Or The seer if ur interested in the comeback
Try the White light one, it´s probably the most digestable one I´ve heard from them, try Blind, Love will save you and maybe Better than you.
Chronologically from Filth, don't listen to people who say to start with To be Kind or Soundtracks, they aren't good starting off points.
Filth is kind of harsh no wave, but it's stays sort of accessible because it has 2 drummers and is almost "groovy" in a way (drum wise). Give it a few tries and if you like it, move on to Cop which is sludgier, only one drummer, and slightly more miserable. Just keep moving through the discog.
But Filth will give a foundation on the way a lot of Swans work is structured
>every thread on /mu/ will eventually die
If they lasted forever it would be pretty boring though, no?

"no"
They're all just shitposting, memes, and kpop anyway.
