Not young, not old punk

So I (27F) have been thinking. I know a lot of people who get into a new subculture when they are no longer teenagers struggle with feeling ”too old” for the scene and that the consensus seems to be ”nah there’s no such thing, welcome aboard”. But I find myself struggling with how to interact with the punk scene as someone who had somewhat of a punk renaissance in her mid-twenties.

Like, at shows for example. I don’t necessarily feel like joining the outer circle of crossed arms, beer bottles and nods of approval. But I also feel out of place moshing with the teens and early-20s people.

To me punk is both historically and currently a youth culture. And I know 27 isn’t old by any stretch of the imagination. But I also don’t feel like a “youth”.

How do yall feel about this stuff?
