People like Carti are just try hard who use Punk/Rock aesthetic to be more edgy and cool; they don't bother educating themselves about the whole ideology behind it or even try to reproduce the sound properly.
this
"Simply using it for aesthetic purposes"
what else he using it for then?
Not really when mans just kinda rapping bout Givenchy and f***ing your b****. If he was doing his exact sound in the 90s. That would be the punkest s*** ever. He aint against the grain really. His sound cool af tho.
not even this?
Lowkey racist
How is it racist? Punk and hip-hop hold very similar countercultural values, and I would prefer to see that come together again.

You obviously haven’t been to a show them s***s f***ing turnt but annoying af lmao they be moshing for every damn song
not even this?
this is the perfect example on why its purely aesthetic
they emulate the fashion and movements of punk in the video while carti rappign about all his diamonds being real
I don't see how borrowing the surface aesthetic without necessarily committing to its values is the worst thing. Plenty of artists do it. Punk as it originally was went commerical anyway, and the underground scene evolved.
Now, if he started acting like he was second coming of the Punk genre or something, I'd be annoyed, but he's merely translating the aesthetic to fit his own merits.
I agree about his capitalistic slant, although that's a broader issue entirely and one you can't fully pin on him
Also this is a good thread OP. Discussion is needed about this and I think we will be able to explore it further once we hear WLR in full.

Bro thats just white kids moshing. That looks like an odd future concert i went to in 2012. The music aint punk but the imagery i guess is
Which is lowkey ops point that he uses the imagery but dont know d*** about it. Thats like white people saying they love hiphop and only listen to eminem.

Almost every modern hip hop act has most pits unless you make boom bap. Saw carti live 2 years ago and left early nigga a garbage performer

This is the same s*** OP just said but with different words lol
It's all for aesthetic by someone who won't even embrace it wholeheartedly

Again yall. Moshing aint exclusive to punk and is a minor part of the punk scene. Carti is fire. But idk how deep he really know bout that punk s***.
