Pop cultures the new punk Concept

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/04/political-memes-2016-election-hillary-clinton-donald-trump

This idea would use memes to show links between pop culture and punk, The idea of appreciating on a new format to provoke others or shift mindsets. I would also print the examples off and then rescan them in to create the zine as a way to question the process of creating a zine. Does it loss its legitimacy if the images are not gathers from old print as the idea of reusing becomes meaningless, because you are creating more waste.  Or is this just how punk has evolved im sure it would be challenged as a non punk way to go about it. The zine would would put my point across of how Influence from punk is in pop culture. It is now a social norm to stand out something every youth strives for however this was not the case in the 70's it seemed to be much more frowned upon. Memes also react to its surrounding and current circumstances. and common trait within punk design. One thing I most note is how in the current day there is alot of nothing being said this is nesscarily a bad thing but people seem to care less and would prefer a cheap laugh than to actually be provoked to think. Memes are an examples of this, they use similar processes they are DIY they use approiation, cut and paste however done on digital software, which in todays world is a very cheap means of production. To much noise in todays society.
