ERIN MICKLOW Punk Rock Show Drama 

"The Paris Hilton of Punk Rock" That's a good description

She literally punched me in public for filming. I didn't do a thing back and her friends started harassing after. She's a liar

As someone from socal that has met people that really don't like her, it's because she's never been part of the actual local scene. She goes backstage and interviews popular punk bands. Her saying she's not a fighter(you can't be afraid to fight in the LA scene) and being so surprised that she got jumped just proves that. The LA scene is no joke, people have gotten jumped for a lot less. Punk isn't some safe space.

Her boyfriend punched the other chick, I have seen the photos. Only ONE person beat up her boyfriend and that was the chick's boyfriend. She is lying, totally lying.

First time she actually looks like a punk.

Her main issue is that she has absolutely no self-awareness. None.EDIT: I got sucker punched at a show by somebody I didn't know back in 1990. She got bodily thrown out of the venue by the bouncer while I went home with a very black eye. Did I whine about it? Nope. Did I call the cops? Nope. Shows were sometimes very violent and you just dealt with it.

Back in the day we scrapped all the time. Was no thing.welcome to the club. I mean im not pro violence, but if you wanna dress up like a punk rocker, you gotta know thats part of it.

YES FINALLY someone else said it. Ive been saying for years that there is consequences for what comes out of your mouth. A lot of the times Ive been punched is when I said something I shouldnt have that was stupid. It was social reinforcement. I took the hit and thought about my actions and realized that maybe i shouldnt have said that. I learned from the experience. A lot of the younger kids (Im 43 like you) seem to have this mentality that they can say whatever they want and theyll never be smacked for it. Think it has something to do with doing most of their social interactions from behind a screen or something. They also think free speech means speech without consequence. We think similarly about a lot of the issues brought up in this video and also seem to come from similar places in regard to the types of people weve grown up around. Obviously street smart and can see through her like a window. A lot of holes and red flags in her story for sure.

Lost in a sea of combat boots,flush the bouncers with wasted youth.When did punk rock become so safe ,when did the scene become a joke.The kids who used to live for beer and speed now want their fries and coke ...must separate the scene from Erin

She said other girls but then says it was just her and Randi in the bathroom alone?

Everyone should be thrilled that we aren’t seeing regular stabbings at shows anymore. The punk rock scene has become a lot tamer then since many years ago. It’s not a chuckie cheese birthday party

Interview the other person, I heard a totally different story. She started it

who can honestly pretend that this isn't funny ?

"pretentious gatekeeper dorks" cracked me up

I like your take on this. She got in a fight, she got her ass kicked. It happens. Why lie about it? The part about her boyfriend punching the other girl is inexcusable but sounds like he got what he deserved. Erin is such a fake but that's who she is. She's not even worth going out anyone's way to start shit with.

Her mirrors got to be worn out

Punx can take it . This Gen's "punk" influencers, can't. Can't play an instrument, can't write a song, cant be real about who or what you are( or dont know or havent figured it out yet) , never bled over a poem youve spent weeks writing...but you can spike& dye yer hair ,you met a few old punx, you go to shows, got some autographs. Punk is not about BEING NICE&SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS & caring about who the F. Knows it ! Williams Burroughs told Ian Curtis "f*** off& get some money, kid," when he asked for his autograph&couldn't buy his book(one of 'em. I'm paraphrasing to make a point.Read Some of the BOOKS!!!). Punk ain't nice. It's getting gobbed on, moshing til you have a black eye& yer shirt gets ripped off, getting wasted , having such a great time you can't remember the next week why you're still so happy. You write, you fight, you cry, you live in communal houses & meet all kinds of great people you love one night, they disappear , & the next nite you meet some assholes & get in a fight. You deathrock dance in a corner by yourself( thank you Morrissey, for emo/deathrock or the nameless, whatever rockabilly you call your masterpieces.& thank All punk for my punk /deathrock life), go home & cry& you want to die! Punk isn't pretty. Punk isn't ugly. Punk is DEALING WITH PUNX.Punk is living with your own bullshit& the rest of the world's. Sleeping under a car one night cuz you cant sneak back in your or yer friend's house til sunup.Being an influencer- WTF does that even mean, in 1970's/80's Punk/deathrock/newwavenowave world? - when we had to watch some of our best friends die of something called GRIDS in our beds, & watch our other friends o.d. in a gutter outside a show the next night? Being seen does not make you Punk. You have to be tough to hear & live in the real world, get the F. Outta yer comfort zone- away from the SCREENS!! AWAY FROM THE HEARTS & happyvfaces(????) & LIKES! I dont hate this person- but I don't know this person. So many "little faces" all over the screens, I don't wanna know, I don't care. & in truth, Punk doesn't care. Sorry you got hurt. Move on. Don't think it might not happen again. You put yourself out there as influencer of Punk. Can't handle it, grow up. Get yer day job, have yer kids, & learn to like Avril Lavine& demi lavato- whoever they are. At least yer safe. Stop crying. F***. - bb

The miscommunication about uniforms is that there are two types of uniforms. There are the uniforms that punks wear that makes them all look the same and then the uniform that she puts on to look like she is something she isnt.

Idgaf man or woman you pick a fight with someone I love and I’m jumping in.

I like your take on this. I spent my whole life dedicated to the scene and to see someone waltz in all flashy and fake, id be mad too. Not mad enough to bully or assault tho.

good vid man. things like this Should be discussed.

There is no justification for her getting assaulted. Period. Doesn’t matter how she’s perceived, doesn’t matter if “that’s just what happens at punk rock shows,” doesn’t matter if she’s rich, it just doesn’t matter. Full stop.

I'm wildly indifferent about her, I watch her stuff sometimes if I like the band but she just seems off, I've been going to shows for 27 years and was a bouncer, she is gentrifying punk but it is what it is.

Bro your show is the best thing on the internet! Your assessment of this situation was spot on! Who gives a shit. Funk is different things to different people, and it's insane to believe that everybody that shows up to a venue is going to have the same IQ, opinions, etcetera... If some kids just want to treat it like it's Halloween everyday that's fine they're not hurting anybody. Sometimes punk is just that escapism. But yeah I noticed that there's just been a lot of hate being slung at that chick online lately, and it seems like a huge coinkydink to boost her publicity. Oh well... But to be fair you know I don't necessarily think about punk is being exclusive to only the poor you know... Let's be real there's plenty of people balling out of control that command a large audience... But to be fair, some of the poorest, stinkiest punk rockers who have had hard lives from the jump are some of the most elitist, snobbiest, meanest most hateful assholes. I will always take a rich, kind simpleton over a poor, lying, stealing, violent psycho any day. In this case though... Homegirl is just so disingenuous and any school kid can see it lol. That video 🤣 the Oscar goes to.... Haha

Punk died in the 90s

You told me to get off your channel, and stop virtue signalling, cause I said there shouldn't be a punk "uniform", I don't know who Erin is, but everyone should wear what they want. It's not your clothes that make you punk. It's the music and attitude! Aren't you displeased with Erin, cause she dresses punky, without being into the music? We're no better than those that make fun of us, for our mohawks, if we are judging those that don't dress punk.

your stance on poserism is spot on

How convenient that Erin got confronted and attacked in the bathroom where there are no cameras.

It's a fight at a punk show..big fucking deal

& again- READ ! IT TAKES street educashun & book learnin' to be punk. Playing an instrument, being a Lou Reed or Curtis level lyricist helps too. Hanging out with groups that are NOT punk- ska, rap,reggae, pop& no music people- anyone else but yer buds& "yes" folks who constantly back you, rep you.Get some constructive criticisms so you can destruction some bad habits. & if they still exist, rip into a few street corner thrift shops, this designer straight edge shit is getting you no where. Try TRY FOR FXS sake, new things. READ. What do they say now? What is more punk than being true to yourself , world weary, honest, & what's more punk than the public library? For a minute I had a street name, i was Nobody, & it was the happiest decade of my life. Still am Nobody.Try something new. Maybe you're walking the new punk walk I refuse to acknowledge, but you saw a few old punx, so I thought....but no. You're a manufactured screen kid like the rest. Max's Kansas city show wasn't wrong for talking over the velvets, david bowie didn't cry when some idiot threw a lolly at him at a show, or when he had a heart attack on stage!!! & he didnt really like punk- but he listened.He Shut up& read.& listened.Draw your man ( woman ) in the mirror, face what you made your self. That's where we all have to look first. Shut up& get in the van, Rollins might say. No one cares yer tired, been up 7 days, hungover, written ten songs in 4 nights , & feel sad. Get of the screen& get a taste on concrete. Party with some people at ground zero, or at the Deadman's party. You might find yourself turning into a real, live girl( Pinocchio, in case you 4got- but diznee's evil, so steer clear of those hollywoodland false vampires. Maybe find some real bloodsucker to hang out with- now there's a lesson, a poem,a song& a book!!!) .- bb- nofalseidols- nicks bat cave caved in baby, &redhandfiles are fake cinema blood.

What I don't think she understands is that if she was just a pretty girl at shows who interviewed bands, few people would have a problem with her. The fact that she puts on a "punk rock" costume is what rubs people the wrong way. And, yes, as much as my wife hates that I say this, sometimes violence is the answer, but it's not the answer to some girl larping as a member of the Causalities, or whatever. She's looking for attention and fighting her only gives her more of what she's seeking.

My bad i was all over the map i was driving and only half listening Dont let her wind you up lad

What time are you gonna interview Erin Wicklow ?

I don't think the younger folks appreciate the fashion influencer persona gig. So she put herself out there, drew attention to herself. As an old head, what the kids do today doesn't inspire me. I understand unity and gravitated towards punk in order to not fit in. To be able to identify as myself, and allow others to as well. Gatekeeping is something most of us get over after high school. It sucks that that happened, but I'm sure most of us can remember being on the wrong end of being called out for doing something stupid where we weren't welcome. It happens.

Anyway she is in a better mood now. She just posted a video showing off her purchase of an expensive vintage convertible car. So in a way she has the last laugh .

In her initial post the first words out of her was, "i wanted to take a moment before this spreads fire and goes around to at least take an opportunity to speak my NARRATIVE" interesting choice of words. Why narrative? And her story hasnt stayed consistent either

I just caught this yesterday. I agree, I may not personally be into what she does. But, whatever the hell happened was not okay for either side. Both sides are handling the situation like children, so I am having trouble deciding on who to believe. I've now decided, that I just don't care anymore and will let morons have their feuds. At first, I was curious out of shock. And that instantly changed to: I don't give a shit whose in the right. It's all stupid and this shit will just fizzle out and everyone will move on.

She's lying she had to take a dump 😆

Not even the other "punk" who assaults children in Camden dared to do so much drama

@thepunkrockreview I love your punk patches and hoodies ☠️

I think a big difference between a fight and bullying is a fight is one-off. Bullying is continuous and targeted. I mean, we have professional fighting (MMA, Boxing, etc) but not bullying, so hey, maybe that's for a reason.

Gatekeeping is needed.

this is why im the youngest person at most shows. im 39. scares off kids seeing someone they follow online and then they get scared to come to shows.

I think when she interviews bands that helps the "scene", or at least it helps the bands. Helps the bands get their name out there, lets people learn more about them, which in turn can help the bands get more fans. Are the bands not part of the "scene"? Are they not the focal point for the whole thing? I dunno... that makes me think she's "helping" the "scene". 🤷‍♂️ i would imagine the bands appreciate it? 🤔🤷‍♂️. At the same time, I find her annoying, but she doesn't "bother" me enough for me to give a shit and get all angry at her. 🤔🤷‍♂️ I don't understand the people freaking out about her. 🤣 It's weird to me. They're obsessed with her and have this weird extreme raw hatred for her. 🤣 She lives rent free in their heads 24/7. 🤷‍♂️ Whatever. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

who?

All punks are inauthentic outside of Malcolm McLaren. Wise up children.

Just found this channel I'm going to subscribe to it and check it out even though I'm more of a metal guy but I I do listen to Old School punk and hardcore 🤘🔪

What a waste of time.

Play in the tiger pit , you may get bit…

You can dress however you want and still be pump rock i dress as emo am Punjabi rock more them you

OMG this guy talks waaaaaaaaaaaay too much... i'm out.

I always thought she was just a poser, just using the punk style to look cool and to stand out. But let her do whatever she wants, and straight edge Punks are supposed live by rules of no hate, no alcohol, no drugs, no fighting, no racism, no sexism, your supposed to feel safe at a punk show, but times have changed, people have changed, it’s not the same scene as it was 25 + years ago, regardless I hate bullies n would stand up for anyone being bullied

I agree with you 100% dude
