Punk on a budget? I can't tell if this is a joke. Every punk I've ever known buys or steals from thrift shops, military supplies, and dumpsters behind clothing stores. It was all out of rejection of social norms and creativity of discarded materials. Duct tape, paint, spray paint, stencils, cardboard, safety pins, chains, ropes, needle and thread are all cheap. Egg whites or Elmers for hair spikes.
Not a joke, mostly concerned about allergies, and trying to figure out what to look for when I do make it to the thrift store.
edit: and when I've asked for costuming advice in other forums, I've gotten "go buy this $200 outfit from __" and I don't have any interest in that.
Yah. Got it. Just remember what punk is. DIY. You can use anything. Just remember what D. Boon said. "Punk is whatever we say it is". Only fools follow rules. Good luck.
