Never thought about this before but in what way is she a punk if she isn't rebelling against at least one thing?

Maybe she's just rebelling against the idea of rebellion itself.
Being punk against punk is just ska.
Only if she also plays a brass instrument and/or tolerates someone doing so near her.

"Donate money to the machine."
She got confused and misspelled 'poser'.
I'll just concile myself by saying she meant punk fashion sense. She loves punk fashion sense but also loves the government and would never ever ever rebel against it. Her dad's a policeman and her mom's a school principal.
edit: CONSOLE. i get so many english words wrong recently.
Yeah... 'punk' is an actual lifestyle, maybe you could say an ideology, or parts of an ideology, or a framework for ideology.
When you just wear it as a costume, you're not only missing the point, you're disposing of the meaning the style is supposed to signify... you're gentrifying a concept, and very likely commodifying it.
Now of course I don't expect every young person, young adult to ... grasp all of that... would be very stupid to 'well ackshually' some kid just trying to express themselves as unique, in some way.
But maybe, hopefully, some of em will read this, and it'll spur them to look into the actual history, the actual ideas... realize that how you live is incredibly more important than what you look like, while doing so.

Yeah it's a dumb meme. 1 & 3 are clearly claiming false persecution for sympathy, because the way you present yourself is the way you wish to be perceived and obviously gaslighting. 2 is hard racism.
It only works to poke fun at the irony of a stupid premise because only one of these things is a real issue.
1 is the only one that doesn't make sense.
3 though... I want to be perceived as someone with fantasy coloured hair, you are right. Why are you making the equivalence of crazy colours -> attention seeking person?
That's what the image is denouncing, and you are criticising the 3rd image, so that's the equivalence that you are supporting with your comment.

This is a very valid question.
The commodification and commercialization of punk culture is a tragedy. BY DEFINITION if you're punk you are rebelling, it's not just a clothing style.
I agree, thats what being punk is all about. This ain't a stereotype but the essence of punk, so this meme/picture template isnt even true.

Um, if you're punk, you actually do have to rebel. It's not about wearing jackets with band patches.
Maybe they are confusing being a punk with liking punk music? There is still a huge overlap
i thought punk was pretty much rebel by definition
Maybe that's what she's rebelling about
I was going to dismiss her as a poser, but I like the idea of multiple layers of ~~irony~~ punk.

This is the third moth post I've seen in under 24hrs. Is it moth month or something? What did I miss?
We serve the LÄMP, bröther.
Every month is moth month if you month your moth

Capitalism is so good at absorbing all critiques of itself into itself. Punk is rebellion. Turning punk into a fashion trend got rid of all it's teeth.
Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
I think that kid in the bottom left has bypassed the number of useless belts that are acceptable to wear without looking silly.
Come sit with gramps by the fire and let me tell you about a little time we called the early 2000s...

Ahh yes LAMP... Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. The software bundle that every high school kid installs when embarking on their journey to web development. I doubt its as popular as it used to be back in them days. WAMP particularly made it easy to get a website going. Sure does bring me back.

The punk and moth aren't stereotypes; they are biologically compelled.
