Clichés in game punk-dem. Whether it be Skin Heads (S.H.A.R.P.S. or Racists), Junkie Punks, Crusts, Straight Edge Jocks, emo kids (from the 90s), riot grrls, their time will soon come.
Growing up studded black leather jackets to me were the least punk thing you could ever wear. You might as well be some dress up Barbie or soulless model. You postcard punk.
NYC's Aryan Skinhead Oi punx. More skins than punk. They're not John Joseph or Vinny Stigma or Roger Miret or Lou Koller or Harley Flanagan more like Ian Stuart and White Power garbage. Zig Heil of Fire more like it.
Pink (no not that Pink!), but a double agent vampire punk with a blue mohawk - he's from London. He definitely ticks all the boxes in terms of cliché. Speaks with a cockney working class Oi accent. Kinda Oi and acts like a right dick -"Aw wot uh tossah!" What a complete asshole.
Steelport's cliché of glue-headed Mohawk punx. And the chick versions whine alot whenever I drive. Pfft, typical. They're your typical 8th generation mall punks, thats as punk as white bread.
The first representation of riot grrls in a video game. I genuinely can't think of a game where they decided to use Heavens to Betsy or Bratmobile in a soundtrack. Granted these bands are as primal as the genre gets. Kathleen Hanna whatever. Corrin Tucker all the way!
Stylistically it looks like a some fictional construct of future Splatter Punks and the nihilistic in your face attitude from Class of 1984-1999 - just less Canadian. Essentially they're MTV, Hot Topic, 200th neu-wave generation mall punks. But I still want to play it. But I'm not buying a fuckin xEXBoXx. Still waiting for a militant Straight Edge video game representation.
