Four diverse punk kids stand proudly in front of a brick wall with colorful graffiti reading "RAISE 'EM PUNK," wearing black PLF shirts with neon designs and holding markers in a bright, playful playground scene.

The PLF Manifesto: Raising Kids the Punk Way (Without Getting Sent to the Principal’s Office)

We don’t just make tees.
We’re here to spark a revolution — one wild, creative, curious kid at a time.

Welcome to Punks Live Forever — where being a punk isn’t about mohawks or mosh pits (though those are cool too). It’s about thinking differently, standing up for what’s right, and refusing to be boring.


💥 What Does "Punk" Really Mean?

Punk means…

  • Asking questions — even when everyone else stays quiet

  • Making your own path — instead of following the crowd

  • Fixing things yourself — glue, tape, glitter, and guts

  • Speaking up — for yourself and others who need it

  • Creating — not just consuming

Punk isn’t about being rude. It’s about being real.


🧠 Punk Isn’t Just for Grownups

Punk is for the kids who:

  • Build forts out of boxes

  • Turn homework into comics

  • Say “why not?” instead of “can I?”

At PLF, we believe the world needs more kids like that — kids who aren’t afraid to be themselves, even when it’s weird, wild, or a little too loud.


✊ This Is What We Stand For:

  • DIY over buy-now

  • Creativity over conformity

  • Voice over volume

  • Coloring outside the lines — literally and metaphorically

We don’t want perfect. We want authentic.
We don’t want followers. We want future leaders.


🎨 Why We Make What We Make

Our shirts are glow-in-the-dark. They’re color-your-own.
They’re meant to be messed with, played in, and worn out.
Every design is a little bit weird on purpose — just like your kid.

Because punk isn’t one-size-fits-all.
And growing up punk means knowing that’s a good thing.


🖍️ Raise 'Em Loud, Raise 'Em Kind, Raise 'Em Punk

If you’ve ever told your kid, “You don’t have to be like everyone else,”
you’re already doing it.

Punks Live Forever is just here to help them wear that truth on their sleeves — literally.


PLF: Punks Live Forever
Even when they’re still learning to tie their shoes.
