Punk Rock is a shirt trait in the Redacted Remilio Babies NFT collection, based on a black graphic t-shirt reading "I'M NOT CUTE I'M PUNK ROCK" — a shirt associated with underground artist Caspr (also known as ppgcasper), a member of the Surf Gang collective.
Background
Caspr is an underground musician associated with Surf Gang, a New York-based music and art collective known for blending emo, rap, and hyperpop influences. Caspr has been photographed wearing the "I'm Not Cute I'm Punk Rock" shirt, and the image became recognizable within the online communities that intersect with both Surf Gang and Remilia's aesthetic orbit. The shirt's slogan — which rejects cuteness as a category while asserting a punk identity — resonates with the tension between aspirational consumer aesthetics and subcultural defiance that runs through the Redacted Remilio Babies collection.
A related trait, Im Cute Im Punk Shirt, appears in the Milady Maker collection under the same visual reference, rendering the shirt's slogan with "Im Cute" inverting the original text's "I'm Not Cute."
