The Financiers

The Franchise Owners

The businessmen who serve the Corporations!

So, hispanic women. Mothers

Face corporations, Wall Street, capitalist cucks. The usual

I wrote “faceless corporations”

Burgerpunk subplots:

Family Owned Diner trying to survive as online reviewers are bombing with fake negative reviews. Hire a high school hacker to seed positive reviews and hack the chain restaurants to disrupt the drive thru orders.

Basically you can see the daily life of the punk burger hero as a working class hero in the first and third world through social networks.
Sometimes it's as simple as sitting in the bathroom of the building where you work and looking at the ceiling while Bittersweet Symphony plays while you realize for the umpteenth time that you're running in a loop and we don't know how to escape the wheel of the market.
There are no legendary heroes in the modern world. All the warriors and tricksters were killed in silence as they slept or reached orgasm, sometimes betrayed by their own friends.
All that remains is the salaried human being, who maintains a social contract with capitalism in exchange for no more bloodshed.

You aren't wrong about that.

Tom Green was ahead of his time in the 90s. Here is a clip from a segment called "Undercutters", where he would stealthily follow pizza delivery drivers with his own pizza, and attempt to undercut the price to their customer when they arrived.

That image fundamentally misrepresented what burgerpunk is, and whoever made it is a fucking tard

McDonald isn’t real.
What, in your words, is fundamentally Burgerpunk?

forgot to say that this is /tv/, I guess it's obvious, but Stranger Things is essential retro Burger punk

>>13416113
>Stranger Things is essential retro Burger punk

With punk comes a Do It Yourself ethic and being financed by Big N runs contrary to burgerpunk.

Stranger Things is what CORPORATE creates to feed to burgerlings.

Enjoy Coca Cola.

Okay, maybe that's true but subconciously it's stil a tiny little bit burgerpunk

This is totally backwards. Burgerpunk would take the perspective of a bisexual DSA hispanic codemonkey working with a mega chain to reconquer aztlan's fast food restaurants. He of course wins, but when he goes to survey his conquered territory in buttfuck, New Mexico, he is without warning columbined by a thirty pounds overweight Polish American NEET incel.

Also, death of the author and shit, I just interpret it as burgerpunk and if you watch closely you will realize, that all of the unironic burgerpunk elements are so over the top that they can't really be unironic, e.g. all of these retarded mall scenes and the over the top evil russians that infiltrate america and build a huge base in one year and the mayor and the stupid little "muh capitalism" girl etc.

Just watched season three. It was p gud. Made me tear up at the end there.

>>13416796
I think there can be room for both over the top burger punk and a more realist version. >>13416825
Yes, NEW COKE XD LOOK GUYS ITS THE 80S was pretty prominent. Like they knew that using new coke was a trope they had to use, so they used it in the most obnoxious way they could.

While another man searches for "real" "food".

The search for authentic sustenance might be the deepest theme in all of fast food fiction.

I was once told of a place where the meals were hand crafted with gold, and men who trained for decades to prepare the most tantalizing food stuffs in the entire nation were at the beck and call of those who made the journey. Now, only whispers of it remain. Some days you can hear on the wind a shy voice saying: "Welcome to Olive Garden."

Part of Burgerpunk is the love or favoritism towards a company or their product. The kid wouldn’t be screaming in fear, they would frame the picture and put it on their mantle

I am still maintaining this. Anyone can submit OC or go through the old threads and scrape good writing from them into a txt or html file. If you decided to contribute, you are free to open a pull request at https://github.com/burgerpunk/burgerpunk.github.io and I will merge. There have been no commits for 17 days because I have received 0 pull requests during that time.

Please God, please, don't let "burgerpunk" become a real genre. It's just too stupid.
