"Everything I own can fit in two suitcases and a foot locker"
About this Quote
The subtext is control through refusal. Allin’s whole persona traded in disgust for bourgeois comfort, so reducing his life to portable containers isn’t just about poverty or practicality; it’s a rejection of the domestic story arc. No home to return to, no archive to curate, no objects to sentimentalize. If possessions are how most people prove they’ve been here, Allin chooses the opposite: proof that he can disappear at will.
Context matters because punk’s anti-materialism often came with community - squats, scenes, a shared DIY infrastructure. Allin’s version is lonelier and more combative. The "foot locker" tips it from bohemian romance into something almost militarized: a private stash, a kit, a bunker you can carry. It’s the mobility of someone who expects eviction, arrest, or self-destruction as routine, and has arranged his life so nothing can be taken from him except his body.
