<p><strong>Before the neon glow of Web3, before the decentralized galleries and blockchain rebellions, Youthscrew was a simple designer in Web2 space—structured, defined, contained. Armed with a diploma in Computer Graphic Design, he built his craft with precision, creating company logos, business cards, banners and buntings, shaping visual identities in a world ruled by corporate aesthetics. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Yet, beneath the polished vectors and typography grids, his soul is always burning with something raw, something unrestrained—a Hardcore/Punk. It wasn’t just a music genre—it was a philosophy, a non-conformist war cry, a 'Do-It-Yourself' ethos that refused to beg for permission. It's a mirror of his true self, a relentless force pushing him beyond commercial design. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>So, he rebelled. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>His hands abandoned the sleek marketing visuals and began crafting Hardcore/Punk flyers, band album covers soaked in defiance, rebellious posters that condemned capitalism, racism, fascism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, dictatorship and oppression—anything that deserved critique. His strokes became louder, his compositions messier, more aggressive. He wasn’t designing anymore—he was protesting. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Yet, even rebellion had its limits in Web2. Traditional systems still dictated distribution, creativity was bound by gatekeepers and Punk—true Punk needed absolute freedom. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>And then, he discovered Web3. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>The mid-year of 2024 was his defining moment. Base blockchain became his first battleground, with Rarible and OpenSea NFT marketplace as his launchpads. Here, punk met blockchain, rebellion fused with decentralization and suddenly, his art wasn’t just underground—it was immortalized on-chain, free from censorship. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>But the revolution wasn’t static—it evolved. Soon, Solana emerged, a blockchain with speed, accessibility and a thriving ecosystem. This is where he found DRiP Haus, a community-driven platform that aligned perfectly with his vision—an ecosystem where punk defiance, DIY ethics and art thrived without limitation. His transition from Base to Solana wasn’t just about blockchain—it was about finding a home for his rebellion. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>From DRiP x Jupiter Art Contest to Dark Mode: Doodles event, his punk-driven aesthetic tore through Web3, amplifying the chaotic, raw energy of his art. And in the world of memecoins, his creative fire took another form—he envisioned Gee in a cyberpunk samurai theme, bringing a gritty, neon-soaked warrior into the world of GLooM. A character reborn in cybernetic rebellion, drenched in punk resistance. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>But Youthscrew knew—rebellion wasn’t just about creation, it's about making an impact. </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>When DRiP4GOOD campaign launched, a mission to raise funds for 93 students of the School of NFT, ensuring they could celebrate Eid-Fitri with new clothes and pocket money, he was the one of the backbones behind the campaign, alongside Abang Brooch, Dr. Robo, Mellyssa, Ponderman, Supanova, and Tigerpunks. Together, they pushed the movement forward with the support of local artist and collectors like MB, Oxmuden, PixiesTribe, Sindxel, Irzz and many more. Together, they poured their raw creativity into artworks sold on DRiP Haus, making sure every sale went straight to the cause and it was successful. Success wasn’t just measured in money—it was measured in real lives impacted, in art transformed into action.</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>From the ashes of corporate design, rebellion found it's way onto the blockchain, and Youthscrew have turned hardcore/punk into permanence.</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>His latest feat—crafting 12 unique artworks in less than 10 days for the DRiP x Jupenjoyoors Memecoin Culture Art Contest featuring the artworks for Grrr, Hege, Mew, Stash, Jup and many more proves that his DIY ethos isn’t just an aesthetic; it’s a relentless force. He has taken the memecoin movement, filtered it through Hardcore Punk aggression and delivered a raw, unfiltered visual language that speaks to decentralization, digital anarchy and underground persistence.</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Each piece isn’t just an artwork—it’s a manifesto, a shout into the Web3 void, a declaration that rebellion isn’t passive; it’s an action. Just as punk music once tore through stagnant systems, his visuals now disrupt the NFT space, embedding cultural critique into decentralized ecosystems.</strong></p><p><strong>Now, the next wave of disruption awaits. The next punk-fueled revolution is on the horizon. Web3 isn’t just his medium—it’s his weapon, and this story? It’s only the beginning.</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p>

Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.

1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
