Something about the way bibliopunk/punk academia is treated on here Bugs Me and I think it can be best summed up as this:
You can't just throw the "punk" descriptor onto whatever you like and call it an aesthetic
Punk is not an aesthetic
Punk is a mindset, it's a philosophy-- it's a rebellion against societal systems
When I say bibliopunk, I don't mean sweater vests and old library photos and quotes from classics.
Bibliopunk, to me, a punk librarian, is about freedom of information. It's about making sure everyone and anyone can have the resources they need to learn, whatever that means for them. It's no late fees and fighting against censorship. It's defunding the police and funding community resource centers that specialize in making sure there's a place where people can go to ask for help, to read books on any subject they can think of, to connect with events and organizations that exist to help THEM. It's about making zines and learning how to bookbind, because fuck the idea that traditional publishing and Amazon are the only people that can make something a book.
Punk academia, which is used colloquially here, is related to this-- it's saying fuck the academic systems that keep out the poor, the people of color, and the disabled. Fuck your Ivy Leagues, education is whatever the hell you make it. College should be free, classes should be accessible WITHOUT being forced to give up all of your personal financial and health information, curriculums need to include as many varying perspectives as they can because fuck the idea that a cishet abled white man is the authority on any given topic.
Bibliopunk, punk academia, and any other Tumblr "aesthetic" with the punk descriptor is not just a moodboard of photos you stole from Pinterest.
Because what's more punk than a public library?

Literally how big of an ask is it to be part of the small group of literature students with a clever name in a small college in Vermont, studying Shakespeare and Homer and Tolstoy, smoking cigarettes and drinking cheap wine straight from the bottle. Racing through the forest, hearts pounding in our chests, plaid pea coats flying out behind us as we run. Whispering love songs in French. Dancing to Bowie and Queen and the Beatles. Leaving notes stuck under dorm room doors. Stargazing and eating oranges. Living.

New year resolutions
Romanticize my melancholic solitude.
Be unapologetically insane.
Stay aesthetically pleasing

Punk Academia, in my opinion.
Studying either at home with music blasting or at the public library, very quietly.
Possibly drinking a pepsi or something, whatever you got from a vending machine.
Whatcha reading? Books on anarchy, or maybe history, political movements, social studies -- anything that opens your horizons and educates you.
Hell, maybe you're even studying the history of punk rock? Getting familiar with its core philosophies?
Or, you know, you could also be reading a fiction book or a zine.
Taking notes on your notebook with a pencil.
The notebook is filled with poems and lyrics you've created or you've liked from other places.
Written rambling on whatever you read, something that might go up on your blog, or your zine if you have one.
Doodles, designs and stickers all over that notebook and the notebook cover too.
You're dressed however the fuck you want??? As you should??
Your hair is also however you want, casual, mundane, crazy as fuck, who cares.
Finding ways to help your community and those in need, that seems very punk academia.
Discussing what you learned with others.
Educating people who aren't in your scene, too.
Or, hell, talking to yourself about it while you work on a patch.
