SPIN mag discovers the punk girls who drink alcopops and pose professionally

A glossy music publication breathlessly presents two aesthetically polished young women as the vanguard of U.K. punk, complete with moody lighting and sparkly textures that would make actual punk rockers weep into their thrift-store jackets. The band name itself—Lambrini Girls—suggests they're being marketed as ironic working-class icons, which is either brilliantly self-aware or the death knell of punk as a concept. This is what happens when the music industry tries to commodify rebellion into a aesthetic checkbox: professional photography, gradient backgrounds, and the unmistakable stench of algorithmic brand safety.
