THE NEW PUNK · a state of mind: We are not machine cogs or ‘users’ · Our agency is our power · Our attention is our most valuable asset · Boredom is king · We can sit with our own thoughts · We don’t watch, we do · We invest in memories · We value experiences over ‘stuff’ · We single-task · View silence as sanity and ‘quiet’ as a destination · embrace friction as growth · delight in spontaneity and randomness · We write the letter and frame the photo · Embrace the journey · Exist in the now · What we don't own can't own us · We take mental snapshots and smell the roses · Save the pub and shop locally · We talk to strangers · We donate time · We fart around, collecting stories not ‘likes’ · We hold the door · Grow, write or make the thing · Know our neighbours · Listen · Hold opinions loosely · Embrace nuance and uncertainty · Resist angst and binary thinking · We don't mistake fame for authority · Curiosity killed nothing but our ignorance · We nap · Dance in the kitchen · Savour a sunset · Ponder-wander and get lost · Tumble down rabbit holes · Saunter and play for play’s sake · We escape into fiction · Know our history · Default to amused over annoyed · We parent like its the 80s · we ration ultra-processed content · Our notifications are off · We slow down · We don’t optimise · We are not the product · RECLAIM YOUR BRAIN.
