You don’t know what seapunk is. We don’t know what seapunk is. Even seapunks don’t know what seapunk is. Well at least, most of them don’t. It all started with a guy named Lil’ Internet and his dream of a barnacle-adorned leather jacket. Quickly evolving (or devolving, depending on how you look at it) into a much-talked-about, less-practiced internet subculture helmed by two rather dogmatic blue-haired musicians. While even they couldn’t define seapunk, which shares elements from just about every other early 2010s subculture, it became the subject of a slew of self-indulgent thinkpieces and a whole lot of internal naval-gazing and gatekeeping. No one, not even Azealea Banks, was safe from their pitchforks (or tridents). But in this episode, Hannah and Maia ask: is sea punk even about the sea? Is it even punk? And why did this subculture sink so early into its watery grave? Tangents include: the Bath & Body Works renaissance, buying gifts for teenagers, and Maia’s neglected goldfish Chloe.
