Was curious to know from other metal heads how far youve gone from what got you into the genre?

i had my perspective changed recently by some punks on tumblr that were more educated/involved in the scene than i currently am. The information they gave me has made me realize that my previous argument of punk being more idealogy than music doesn't really check. Like think of it, there are MULTIPLE types of punk scenes/genres and they all have different ideas of punk. Like sure a lot of the scenes can agree bigotry and capitalism are bad but that doesn't mean that's the sole idea that carries the entire punk community. like pop punk, (if you count it as punk or not) tends to not dwell on political issues too hard (depending on the band) and focuses more on angst with growing up or being an adult. I could go on comparing and contrasting diferent scenes and genres but i think you get the point. and to those like me that REALLY are into punk but just are having trouble getting to shows right now, i'd advise not to worry and that you'll find your way to them sooner or later if you REALLY are serious about it. And that group of punks aren't wrong either, without going to shows, online punk is just a big arts and crafts thing. Like no hate at all to anyone but they're right, if you're serious about punk try to go to shows, if you somehow can't (strict parents smth or rather) at least do the bare minimum and research the history and watch shows on channels like hate5six or channels associated with scenes in your state/province. but yea uh, idk. without going to shows and helping the local bands out, what does the scene become? It would die, and become nothing but digital consumerism so please if you can, go to shows, i plan on doing so too very very soon. (i'll be sure to post about it:] )
