Spideypunx - SpideyPunx

Spider-Verse #2 (2014, which might have actually been before Trump started using the same slogan)

And then Spider-Punk assassinates him. 🤘🏴🎸

Hi! I'm SpideyPunx (or just "Punx") and I started cosplaying in 2024. Basically, my interest in punk rock and Marvel comics had been entirely separate things before Across the Spider-Verse came out, and now I simply will not shut up about Hobie Brown. I'm also an anarchist and an activist, and I try to find ways to pay homage to left-wing protests and movements, both historical and modern-day, in my Spider-Punk cosplay.

He/they please, both in and out of cosplay—unless you want to she/her or neopronoun my version of Hobie in a fun gay way 😂

All photo credits and other cosplayers’ accounts are tagged in my Instagram posts where possible.

Thanks for letting me use you as a reference @spideypunx it was perfect an you're so cool hun

You know, if Spider Punk gets people interested in punk, good. We all have to start somewhere and Hobie is a damn good representation. If he is what makes a person go “hey, this seems cool, I should check it out.” good. That’s one more person interested in punk and wanting to get into it. 

That being said, if you are new to punk(hi baby punks!) some things to keep in mind

1. Punk philosophy is largely anti-authoritarian. Individual and even punk communities differ on specifics, and some are more political than others, but the core themes tend to be resisting those who would control and oppress us, and supporting and including people in your community

2. Punk fashion SHOULD NOT BE EXPENSIVE. A lot of fashion companies will try and sell you jackets for a couple hundred bucks, but that’s just corporations trying to cash in on a subculture. A big part of Punk and its history is DIY because Punk should be open to everyone and putting that behind a fashion paywall is just not punk. You don’t even need to be dressing punk to BE punk, but thrift your clothes. Make stencils and use spray paint or bleach to give it a pattern. Use old jeans to make patches. Buy your spikes and studs in bulk and go wild. Turn your old t shirt that doesn’t fit anymore into a back patch. Go crazy with some safety pins. You can make more with $30 than you can buy from a designer for $300. And skill is not needed, frankly if it looks a little wonky it makes it look more punk

3. Dental floss makes for good thread for sewing on patches. It’s good for thick, stylistic stitches and is both cheap and durable. Don’t know why I made this its own point but it’s one of the most common tricks for punk DIY besides taking paint to scraps of fabric to make a patch. Honestly, if you want to know how to do more, just ask other punks how they made their vests and jackets, they’ll probably be happy enough to tell you

4. Punk philosophy and music is closely related. The communities evolved around the music scene so it is closely linked. Give some punk bands a try if you haven’t already. There’s a bunch of subgenres so you’ll probably find something you like. From OG “proto punk” where the sound was still developing into what we call punk, to pop punk, anarco punk, and folk punk. There are people who say you can’t be punk if you don’t listen to the music, and there’s a whole conversation to be had about all that, but it’s just a good idea to try listening to some punk music

5, Nazis fuck off

6. Seriously, nazis fuck off. There’s a whole history behind it and why we associate skinhead punks with neo nazis. Largely we’ve made it clear we don’t want nazis in our community and the street punk music scene that nazi punks became associated with has made strides to separate themselves from that.

7. Be cool and respectful of people regardless of religion, ethnicity, race, sexuality, gender, background, etc. Solidarity with our community is important and all sorts are welcome. Gatekeeping isn’t cool and frankly women and minorities have done a lot for punk as a whole. Respect for everyone

One of my favorite vendors this year!!!

I bought a pin early in the con, and then later I wanted to buy more things from them, but I couldn’t remember their booth location or shop name, so I spent probably a couple hours going through all the aisles trying to find them again lol. Totally worth it.

Some of their pins are definitely going on another Spider-Punk cosplay I’m working on… 👀

All set up at Awesome Con 2025 - I'll be at table K-31 all weekend!!

trick or treat 💥
