bread & circus mindless distraction tripe like videogames is not punk at all. The very concept is like something ripped straight from brave new world

what kind of entertainment ISN'T 'bread & circus'?
>>10935424
I kinda agree, punk is a broad term now though (or even then you've got the clash and Ramones considered punk), but there are punks who are trying to get people more aware or focus on some issues, but there are also these beer drinking bropunks who just "are in it for the breaks"
>The very concept is like something ripped straight from brave new world
You can say that about most kinds of individual entertainment
>>10935466
most literature, independent music, independent theater, independent film, etc
although the idea is not to consider it entertainment but rather intellectual stimulation.

Videogames especially though because of the whole complex apparatus thing.
Yeah my definition of punk is somewhat orthodox but i think post people would agree it describes a philosophy or lifestyle largely incompatible with any significant amount of videogame consumption

>intellectual stimulation
Yes, though I think everyone need some kind of mindless outlet to get ones mind off things, either doing some sports, going /out/doors or playing vidya
>complex apparatus thing.
Yes. However that's why I specified that nowadays, because currently most people have some kind of a computer (even a handheld one is strong enough to emulate old consoles which allows for hundreds of games) , of course buying an expensive gaming PC and playing all these new mainstream releases which are 100$ each is the least punk shit. But the aesthetics op mentioned specifically relate to old school/arcade games or low cost indie stuff
