Folk punk scene in Europe? Things you do in your daily life that align with folk punk?
I've been listening to folk punk for about six years now, but I live in a pretty big city in Europe, so I feel isolated from the community there's in the states. So there goes my first question: do any of you know about a folk punk scene in Europe (specifically Spain)? Is there anyone from Europe in this sub? (please reach out so I feel less alone haha)
I would say I have a pretty normal lifestyle (graduated last year, staying in my city to go to college, planing on hitting the road once I graduate though), but I try to keep a mindset and treat people and things in a way that aligns with folk punk and solarpunk if that makes sense.
For example, I try to keep repairing my clothes until they're almost unrepairable, avoid shopping at certain places (shein, temu, indietex, you know the rest), build community through volunteering (this one's being HARD), talk to people with an open mind, have brutally honest conversations, make music and zines... And also (this is related to folk punk imo) I'm going to try to pursue a job in nature conservation.
So yeah, this is what try to do and sometimes forget or fail, but I keep trying. I wanted to know what other things you do to live a life somehow aligned with folk punk if you don't have the "typical" extreme on the road lifestyle
