This is what I mean when I say punk is only an aesthetic
Nah, punk is an ethos, it never died, and the "punk" aesthetic has little to do with punk. For example Ms Rachel is punk as fuck, whereas this clown is just corporate.
But we're saying the same thing I bet.

Nothing is more punk than a really drunk hard-core front man incoherently trying to rant about the importance of loving each other
There are still people trying to do things independently, just nobody sees it because we're not posting on TikTok and Instagram.
I work as a technician in an independent venue, lots of manual labour, doing twelve hour shifts, and also run a cassette label. I record everything myself, dub the tapes myself, make and print all the artwork myself, ship it all internationally on my own. I've organised unions and gone on strike at venues, won tribunals against employers.
I will agree though that a lot of libs exploit the good will of DIY community in bad faith.
