Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for covering this subculture! Now I have a way to show one of my interested to people I meet. I would love to see more on related subcultures such as goth, punk, industrial (my favorite!), etc. A lot of us in it know the meaning behind it, but it would be nice to see the evolution thereof and where it is now. I would love to share those videos. I'm a goth and we're not all "gloomy and scary."
Refinery29 My style inspirations is Vikings! And I NEVER wear those stupid stereotypical “horned helmets” that are falsely spread around in pop culture.
What do you eat at Post apocalyptic world? Cant you see they breed dogs? there are plenty critters there aswell. if worst comes to worst, just drive your tank into a local market, boy cans and cans of food, and wholla, your set for few more months :D
augiz261 What to eat....are you implying they eat dogs? Cans of food? Just because it's a "post apocalyptic world", does that mean you are going to turn into a savage, devoid of manners?...an unwashed, morally devoid rube? I hope not. I'm just joking with you...but I'd love for you to answer as if I wasn't joking.👍
Yeah, I live on the edge of the Ozarks. Let's try some post apocalyptic morel mushroom hunting on my property this weekend and see how many meth heads I find and have to run off. You don't have to role play collapse in a lot of America.
I’ve been watching videos on YT for the past few days. They usually show up on my recommended. But they all have the same theme. It’s always about how a person has chosen to live their life. The internet really has opened up the world. You can see into other people’s lives. Makes it seem like I could potentially live pretty much however I want. Endless possibilities. It’s so interesting seeing how people from all over the world are living.
Will K You're actually exactly right. I haven't been to Wasteland Weekend, but I do a post-apoc LARP and that's pretty much the aesthetic. The themes a lot of prople like this work off of is "if I didn't know if I was going to live to the end of the day, his hard do I want to live right now?" Its all about having fun and learning to appreciate who and what you have in your life, at least for me.
You know, I respect those in particular who make their unique passion their lifestyle. I respect these people more than any other kind of person out there with no exaggeration intended. Most of us live our lives acting the ways everyone else acts, dresses the way everyone else dresses and follow the same pseudo "alternative lifestyle" instagram fads. Most of us think we're being unique when we're really just following a trend, it's depressing. This person however, and people like her found a style and a way of being that she was the most interested in and she ultimately became that. It's a freeing thing to be want you want to be and I want to soon do the same. So yeah, think before you judge a lolita that makes their own clothes and designs their life all cute.. or a steampunk that built a big steam contraption of some sort.(ect) They're definitely having lots fun with their life
I agree with you 💯 that's why I make up my own styles and never acted like What society thinks is normal and I have been different since I was a little kid . I'm What this so called society calls a misfit and I will never conform or follow anyone or follow the so called fashion trend.
Kathleen Thomson well I don't think it's "without the drugs"... I think it's coachella turned punk or coachella if it wasn't all about making insta posts and stories for 2 weekends straight...
@@marinamercs4055 And the herpes, you forgot the herpes. Coachella literally had a mass epidemic of it as reported by the surrounding clinics. "My boyfriend went" Get yourself checked.
tbh that's the kind of people you meet out there. We look like we're insane, but most of the time we're super nice about it all and love showing new people what it's all about.
“Imagining a situation where people with radically opposing view points are hanging out together is hard for me” never talked with someone that disagrees w you?
what's the fun in an apocalypse without some go-juice? If you can't get the refineries going, at least make some ethanol or veggie oil, or a wood gasfier. which also covers electricity. if the hair spray is gone there's always sugar water.
What? Do you think if civilization stops all of the gasoline in the world is just going to instantly vanish? Also you know there are things called generators right?
This is so cool. I make 'survival gear' that I sell at local flea markets. Funny thing, I make fashionable survival gear as well as actually useful gear, I can't keep the fashionable in stock, but the actually useful moves kind of slow
I remember wene I was thirteen making my own armor and other crazy things I thought myself at a young age but I'm sure you make alot better products than me that I would probably buy.
That’s thanks to your reporter here. There are all types of people in all types of communities for the most part. Who and how they choose to film makes all the difference.
@@Mashmarriner69 yeah, like furries, but with welding, and blacksmithing, and camping, and drinking. I'd camp with them. I like the creativity of the outfits, and the car mods. Sure beats the renaissance fair.
So sad to see so many in this comments assume those people to be racist... How should there ever be more POCs in the community if most POCs assume just because there are none, that the people do not want them there... They can be as welcoming as they want if POCs assume them to be racist just because of their skincolor there will never be more diversity in this community...
blackvelvetno1 Those groups meet everywhere in the world... Not only in albama... Also why do you blame people who were not even alive during this time for the stuff? Why do americans do this so often.. Like I am not a Nazi just because my family comes from germany... For gods sakd
can you really call it re-enacting when it's something that hasn't happened? yeah it's LARPing, even if I hate the term in English. Here we call it LAJV said like 'live', sounds way better and cooler, more fitting
I never imagine that living in the end times would require so much time and effort going into fashion. You’d think function and not fashion would be the priority.
roleplaying fun but dont confuse this with prepping/survival. if the end of civilisation became a reality these jokers would be as fucked as the next person.
@@Matthew-se1xf On the contrary, we don't even know what kind of apocalyptic scenario there will be. Surviving a frozen nuclear winter is different than surviving an actual irradiated wasteland, which is different than surviving a world submerged by the incredibly real problem of rising ocean levels, which is different than surviving a world in which pollution causes holes in the ozone layer to heat to surface of the earth to insane levels. In fact, the only thing that each of these events have in common is that millions of people would die in them. Tell me, why would that be the case if it was so obvious to those people what would and wouldn't work?
Enjoyed the video. Laughed out loud at "grass and dirt". I am pretty sure I have that exact glass skull mug sitting in my cupboard. See ya in the wastelands.
Nice to see Im not the only Mad Max fanatic :) Post apocalyptic genre was my favourite since I first saw the second movie (and played first two Fallout games).
This was so cool and interesting to see, I honestly didn't know people lived and did these things. I would love to meet someone and learn about everything they do as well. But, I don't think I could live in that type of world. I love my clothes too much lol
They just basically weekend warriors. They work regular jobs and this is their hobby. Some bowl, some hunt, some fish. These people play dress up and camp in the woods in beat up cars and trucks. The girl and guy at the beginning have real jobs (receptionist and mechanic who owns a motorcycle shop). They just live in the middle of the desert. Those 2 live a little more like mad max but not to the fullest extent. I wouldn’t be surprised if they panned the camera out just a little further, there’s a highway and town not far from their “middle of nowhere” home. They filmed like they do in movies, forced perspective. In truth it looks fun but if the world ends, 9 chances out of 10 none of these people would make it. It’s cosplay.
I remember doing two weeks of jungle environmental survival training in the military while assigned overseas and I didn't enjoy that brief part of military life at all. I was part of an augmented security force, which is how I got selected to attend. No doubt, I appreciated learning the survival skills, but I didn't enjoy the inconvenience of it. My heart goes out to the locals who actually live that kind of life and taught us many survival skills in that two week period. The Navy SEALS went through a longer, rigorous course. Of course, if I was placed in a situation where I had no choice but to adjust to that kind of life, I can certainly adjust. For 26 years of my active service in the military, I had to constantly adjust to change. Not in a million years will I give up my comfort in life to live miserably in the desert, in the United States of America at that. These guys have to practice continuous conservation in every aspect of life. I always thought living in America everyone tries to strive for enhanced quality of life. I hope no one takes offense at what I'm about to say: these people look dirty, unkempt and depressed. I can see from the interview that they don't look happy. Why deprive yourself of all life's necessities in order to think you're living carefree? It's all superficial. Having said all that, I will conclude by saying to each his own; whatever tickles their fancy.
Everybody's reaction to the "no politics" rule is to point out the host brings up the question of racism, and I'm just sitting here wondering why nobody's mentioning the ancap flag.
honeybdream yah actually no one down south is really racist it's all those yankees and shit and this is coming from a person of color if you offer beer are food down here you might as well be family
ManicMachineGun It’s not about North or South. Some idiots are racists, others aren’t. It depends on their upbringing and education. Offering beer and food is pretty much like becoming family though lol.
The most valuable professions in the wasteland I would imagine are someone knowledgeable in the field of medicine and/or medicinal plants and machinist.
Camping is only as good or bad as you make it. My own SCA set up includes a 20by20 tent, oriental rugs, a queen size bed (it's a slide-together plywood frame, foam, and a feathered mattress. Sheets, pillows, and a huge fake-fur bed coverlet.) We put metal candle lanterns on each corner, on shepherd hooks, and light them on nights when it's not windy. My igloo cooler looks like a pirate chest. We have standard folding chairs, but drape them with highly decorative patterned cloth so they look less modern. We feast, we drink and we live like kings for up to a week at a time. My mundane life is damn hard to come back to. Muirghein S. Tarot, of house NOVA
There's just something so much more real and comforting about their environment. I live in nomadic lifestyle and would never go back to a normal life... Normal is boring and played out. I just don't like how the regular world is all about living vicariously through others and every morning having your grande latte coffee enema..
Cheers to all the Mad Maxers, Fallouters, wastelanders, raiders and mutants out there! ANd to all the "serious face realistic survavalists" - it's called cosplay, roleplay, etc. If you don't get it - you don't get it.
I like it....I was a metal fabricator in the movie industry, now I'm all into self sufficiency....I build electric vehicles and solar systems and GARDENS. Water management is important, you have to use your water 4 times before you put it in a septic system to irrigate crops. IT CAN BE DONE
As a lifelong fan of Mad Max, the vehicles, and the wildness, I would love to attend Wasteland Weekend! I think everyone needs some time to cut loose and live on the wild side, even for just a little while!
Honestly y'all can say whatever you want but I love what they're doing. Who said we all had to live the same exact life? In the end of the day we're all just following the same rules, doing whatever everyone else is doing and seeing these things as the 'norm". Who decided that it should be like that and that should be the norm? People should really be whoever they wanna be, unless they're hurting themselves or others I see no reason not to choose to live a life that is YOUR own thing. If you can do it, go for it. Everyone doing the same is boring anyway.
The Jet will make you jittery. I grew up in the Northeast Hardcore scene in New England, with NY and NJ friends. The majority of people in the scene were white, but there were definitely a few dozen hispanic and black people in the scene, and there was no bias or lack of acceptance that I was aware of. The older skinheads were run out of the scene almost exclusively by white kids looking for a place of tolerance for all that were rejected by mainstream society. When you have a scene with one of the greatest all-time hardcore punk bands being the Bad Brains, I don't know how you can be racist. I guess it's kinda like when I'd go to hip hop shows and be the white minority. I was welcomed and treated like an equal. I don't believe that there's any bias, only that culturally, people of color are less likely to be exposed to punk or metal than hip hop or RnB. Hispanics, particularly mexicans, are well represented in the west coast punk and metal scenes. I think it's just a matter of exposure. When I lived in Denver I was trimming the rose bushes with a boombox playing Reign In Blood on the porch. A couple of the neighborhood kids rode by on bikes and one of them asked what the music was. I took a smoke break and told them about how this was one of the greatest metal albums of all time. They were all black or hispanic kids, and never really got a chance to listen to metal. I still keep up with one of the kids on Facebook, and he's a stone cold metalhead now. It's all a matter of exposure.
I dated Ares back in 2013, she used to be a friend as well for a number of years. But I’ll be honest, she was a terrible friend, and even worse former girlfriend. In fact she’s not with this dude anymore, and I have to say… I’m not surprised in the least. Good luck to them wherever they are now…
😂 buddy let’s get one thing aired out, we saw each other in person twice, and I’m not your ex girlfriend. I wasn’t feeling it like you were, and you threw a fit about it. Hope you got your anger issues in check and you’re doing better though! 👍🏼
I got so thrown off when the girls name was BamBam cuz I was like: Got7?!?!? Baaaaaaaam!!?!?!!?!!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂 But awesome vid I've always loved post-apocalyptic scenarios. These girls are fucking awesome.
