[Lord Darian]

Blink 182, :lol

[Psycho Squid]

Punk is dead.

[Protoclown]

ISN'T THEY LIKE, PRISON FAGETS??

[CrapOnAStick]

Punk is a lousy excuse for teenage girls to dress up a slut and rebellious like. Its also an obnoxious genre of music >:

[Psycho Squid]

Actually punk is an old English word for whore. I learned that in Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare.

[GAsux]

Anyone who says punk is dead obviously doesn't get MTV. Duh. Sum-41, Avril, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte.....I could go on. If you think punk is dead, you aren't watching enough TRL. :rock

[executioneer]

PUNK IS WHAT YOU LIGHT FIREWORKS WITH :rolleyes

[Jourgensen]

Punk is a god damn image, nothing more.

[sadie]

who is that?

[Protoclown]

A rather BIG fucking image, I should say.

[BulletCatcher]

I think it's one of the guys in Ministry. I could be wrong.

[error]

The bands mentioned above are Pop Punk, they want to be hardcore but they're pussies. Real punk is like Rancid and shit. I fucking hate all punk. There's absolutly no talent in that music WHAT SO EVER. I'm a Emo/Screamo/Indie rock man myself.

[loghat]

Their are so many kinds of punk it hurts.

[loghat]

I think it's one of the guys in Ministry. I could be wrong.

It looks like that douche from monster magnet.

[Generator86]

It's Al Jourgenson from Ministry. Yeah, I know. I probably spelled his name wrong. I don't care. Neither should you.

Also, punk rock=Propagandhi. Go ahead and look it up in a dictionary. It's right there in black and white.

[lid]

What is next? Are there any intelligent people left? What happened to rebellion, is it in a fucking can? Do you guys still suck corporate cock, i.e. eat fast food, where Urbane Outfitters or GAPe? I want to know who uses their brain.

[Lord Darian]

[GAsux]

"I fucking hate all punk. There's absolutly no talent in that music WHAT SO EVER. I'm a Emo/Screamo/Indie rock man myself."



Yeah, because you've got to have real talent to cry and scream about how pathetic your life is and make emo records. Now THAT"s talent.

Emo=country music-twang.

[Spooky]

Punk is being a girl, and having short spikey hair in the back, and long bangs.

Alot of 13 year old girls have that haircut.

I want to fuck 13 year old girls.

In conclusion, Tupac sucked, and I'm glad the ****** died. :/

[CastroMotorOil]

Real punk is dead. All that is left is "pop-punk" liek New Found Glory, Avril. Good Charlotte doesn't really count becasue they know what they are.

[Generator86]

Punk is stopping at 18 bars before playing a show, spitting beer at your lead singer and guitarist, throwing your $1200 bass into the crowd halfway through a song because you have a defective cord, cowering in a corner, and then pissing on a monitor. Consequently, the last show my band played was the epitome of punk, despite the fact that we were considered a metal band. Oh, and also getting paid and not sharing any of it with the other bands.

[loghat]

Punks not dead, you just have to know where to look or listen in this case. yeah, theirs not a lot of 'new' punk but since its sucha simple genre you cant be sirprised when its rehashed. flogging molleys getting popular now, but tere just dropkick murphy rip offs who are just a more hardcore version of the pogues... punk means a lot of different things to everyone.

[cenamalo]

punk died with joe strummer

[Ninjavenom]

Real punk is dead. All that is left is "pop-punk" liek New Found Glory, Avril. Good Charlotte doesn't really count becasue they know what they are.

Sorry guys, punk is most certainly dead. It lives on only in name anymore.

[loghat]

Just keep telling yourselves that.

[Spooky]

You all take this too seriously, and it makes you sound like high schoolers. :(

[GAsux]

Dude haven't you heard? Not being serious is so unpunk.

[Helm]

I don't care if punk is dead. It's a stupid idea to begin with.

[Vomit]

:lol

[Ninjavenom]

I don't care if punk is dead. It's a stupid idea to begin with.

...Hence it's death. Though i think its beginnings were more of a stillbirth than anything else.

[Pub Lover]

i think its beginnings were more of a stillbirth

:lol


Punk was needed in the late seventies in the UK because the only type of music around was over-polished poppy crap, it was a reaction where they went to the exact opposite. Record Labels killed punk, like they are killing all music. If you want to support music, steal it.

[Helm]

Dumbass.

If you want to support music, go at gigs of bands you like, buy their t-shirts, recommend them to friends, buy their demos or internet-albums and contact them to let them know their music means something to you.

Asshole. It fucking shows you've never had a band.

[Pub Lover]

:lol

[Alex de Large]

dont you hate it though..... when you wear a band shirt and people get the name down and the next thing you know they download any song they can find on that band then buy the shirt and call you a poser........

[Alex de Large]

isnt that GG Allin in the pic......

[Ninjavenom]

never happens to me. :/
Most people hate what i listen to, anyway.

[Helm]

Laugh it up, moron.

[DiRt GuY]

Punk died along with Thomas Jefferson.

[slavemason]

Anyone who says punk is dead is either; Too lazy to go out and find good music and are trying to make exuses for their lame taste, An old fart who can't accept the fact that no one is impressed by their powerchords since they graduated high school, or just some ignorant fuck who likes to stir the shit kettle. Stir on Numbnuts, nobody cares.
Honoring the Veterans of Punk, how about Sammy Davis Jr. Here you had a Black Jew who married a White Woman (Swedish no less!) and dabbled in Satanism just for sexual kicks. Punks not dead but Sammy sure is. He will be missed.

[Pub Lover]

Laugh it up, moron.

I think you are right, & I was really just laughing at you taking it all so seriously.

[Helm]

You're a fucking moron. Seriously.

[Pub Lover]

& you're a dumbass. :)

[MaskedMonk]

And your MOM's stupid!

Ok, punk was ruined/covered up by increasingly poppy crap. It didn't really die it just never gets noticed.

[Jixby PhiIIips]

lol

[-RiftMaster]

If punk is Blink 182 and Good Charlotte then yes, Punk does indeed suck nads.

But the reality of it is that this is not punk. real punk is bands like NOFX, Rancid, the Distillers, Lagwagon, Bad Religion, and 100s of other bands like them.

It's kinda gay when some of you knock something you don't know shit about. That would be like me saying Metal sucks because the only "metal" i've ever heard is Linkin' Park.

[MaskedMonk]

*clap clap*
Actually, I seriously can't tell the difference between NOFX and SUM 41. But other than that, yeah.

[loghat]

Do you not have ears?

[slavemason]

The sad thing that happened to NOFX is so many bands tried to be just like them. I saw NOFX on the S&M Airlines tour. Punk, Hardcore, Rock, Muzak...I don't care what you call it, they were bad ass. By the next time they came around, they had picked up the beaner for the Ribbed tour. GODDAMN! it was good too.

[MaskedMonk]

Voice - Loud, whiny, look at me I'm white and a rebellious asshole.
Instrumentation - Greenday with more distortion.
Lyrics - Sometimes vaguely funny shit, sometimes about how much I hate something.

I dare you to tell me if I'm talking about Sum 41 or NOFX.

[-RiftMaster]

That's where the similarties end. Sum 41 is 500x more poppy, and almost all their songs are about relationships and crap. NOFX is about social hilarity and poking fun at politics. Plus they sound 500x more punk and underground than Sum 41. I mean come on, Sum 41 is on TRL and shit...

[KevinTheOmnivore]

NOFX does NOT sound more "undergroud" than Sum 41, whatever the hell that means.

Lagwagon is NOT a punk band.

fin.

[-RiftMaster]

1. By "underground" I mean less refined and studio-mixed. a rawer sound.

2. Lagwagon is punk you dipshit. They are merely a more melodic expressive form of punk. less scream and more thought in other words.

3. If you think NOFX and Sum 41 sound the same you are obviously either, deaf or a fool who doesn't know shit about what he's talking about.

[MaskedMonk]

Yeah, whatever. I'm still waiting for an answer.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

1. By "underground" I mean less refined and studio-mixed. a rawer sound.

Cuz that can't be reproduced in a nice, expensive studio, right? Have ya heard the Strokes?

2. Lagwagon is punk you dipshit. They are merely a more melodic expressive form of punk. less scream and more thought in other words.

Yeah, sooo much thought goes into songs like "sleep." :lol

3. If you think NOFX and Sum 41 sound the same you are obviously either, deaf or a fool who doesn't know shit about what he's talking about.

Whatever fool. Go listen to "beer bong" and cream in your undies....

[GAsux]

It's great to see today's youth fighting so passionately to defend their scene. Preach on man, don't let the "real" punk rockers like NOFX get polluted by allowing them to be compared to "pop" punk like Sum-41.

If you let that happen, you'll have to stop liking NOFX because it won't be cool anymore!

[KevinTheOmnivore]

:lol

[slavemason]

:puke http://domino.vlekho.be/bedrijvig/ww2002/Merchtem/team1/exploited.gif

[timrpgland]

The Exploited are good.

[Black Flag]

Punk is my tasty ham sammich. :yum

[The_Rorschach]

Let me make this clear. Punk as a movement is dead. The last bands with any message to their music came out of the mid eighties nardcore scene, refering of course to Black Flag, False Confession, et al. . .Including NOFX.

Here is a sample of what I consider punk based on the scene I experienced as a kid:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Punk: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies

Not-Punk: Lagwagon.

Punk: Souxsie Sou and the Banshees pre-1983

Not Punk: Sid Vicious or Jonny Rotten

Punk: The Addicts

Not Punk: The Strokes

Punk: Crass

Not Punk: Exploited

Punk: Operation Ivy

Still Punk: Rancid (if only because of Lint)

note: I was in High School in San Francisco, the biggest bands we used to watch over at Gilman St and Berkeley Square were AFI, The Vandals, Jughead's Revenge, Offspring and Green Day. With the exception of Green Day, there were all on Nitro Records and played the local venues for around five to seven bucks a show. Of course, this was when Offspring's album Ignition was out, and Green Day was doing 30,000 Slapped Out Happy Hours. Regardless, they all supported the local scene in the Bay Area and I can't help but think of them as Punk in spirit, if not message.

Was going to add Guttermouth, but I only remember them playing once. Might not have been a local band.

[The Unseen]

Punk is a big fad and it makes me cry :( but i do like the exploited and the sex pistols

[timrpgland]

The Exploited were punk but their later stuff is more metal..

Operation Ivy isn't really punk by definition (more ska) but they are my favorite band. I even don't mind Jesse Michael's new stuff with Common Rider (for the latest album I got his autograph too).

I guess who really cares what is what, if the music is good then that's all you need.

[NakedChinchilla]

There's nothing wrong with Blink. Btw, don't you hate it when you wear a shirt with a band name on it, and then some hillbilly calls you a poser and says you aren't punk?

[The Unseen]

dont you hate it when you wear a for example an (exploited shirt)

The Unseen wears an Exploited shirt
Random idiot: Do you like the exploited?
Me: No, fuck off, im wearing this shirt as a fashion statement
Random idiot: :(
Me: :(

[whoreable]

dont you hate it when random idiots make shitty unfunny posts in every single fucking thread.

[timrpgland]

Oh yeah, The Unseen? I have a "The Unseen" T-Shirt :/

oh and a The Exploited T-Shirt. Along with a bunch of other ones.

[SisterOFMercy]

punk is gay..over-rated and mass-produced..desensitized and commercialized..makes me want to vomit my cheerios...

[UnDeath]

its all about the old school punk.... Misfits, The Damned, Dead Kennedeys, the Subhumans, and Black Flag... The only good punk that Ive heared anymore is either an old band coming back, or the "underground" local/regional stuff..... like Cathader(I think its spelled right)
and NoFX and everyone else who is on the Warped tour has "sold out" by punk standards.... gotta love how I know more about some subcultures that I dont even patronise than those who are "hardcore" into it or whatever. >:

[Lord Darian]

sister of mercy, you say punk is gay, have you ever seen a sisters of mercy video that band is so gay. But most bands classified as punk in the publics eye (blink 182, nofx, and misfits) do suck.

[SisterOFMercy]

Lord Darian-

the sisters of mercy are so hard core they make me pee my pants. i want to share my coffin with Andrew Eldritch. 8-)

[pissed off salesman]

Punk goes way beyond the rays of shitty music, it goes to idot "attitudes" Moshing and that sorta rot. Posers and Punks Alike are the same. They listen to their lil' songs and try to act cool. Lets go out and commit punk hate crimes.

[GAsux]

You're not punk unless you talk about how much punk sucks. You're also not punk unless you talk about how much better punk was back the day, even though you're all of 18, so back in the day was like, 2001.

That's punk rock.

[Mr. Vagiclean]

So tired of punk talk, punk this, punk that, that sold out, that didn't bla bla bla bla

What the HELL is the point of liking punk anyways?? Definition?? Punk is more known for its fashion rather than its quality of music....wait nevermind, it DOESN'T HAVE QUALITY

I mean for god sake the moonlight sonata by Beethoven just BEATS any songs you dig up "underground".... The whole point in punk is to find THE most UNKNOWN band and songs, and whenever the number increase liking that particular band, others start labeling them posers.... it's a goddamn vicious cycle.

[imported_Hollycaust]

Canada and 'punk'... anyone else see a correlation between the two? ^_^

[Everything Sucks]

Punk is a bunch of friends who have never picked up a musical instrument before, and playing three chords really fast while singing about anarchy. :rock

[Perndog]

Punk now is buying plaid pants at Hot Topic for $40 that imitate the ones that punks used to get at old people's garage sales for 40 cents.

Aside from its current trendiness, punk rock is just a whiny fuck-you attitude with nothing added to it - no justification, no talent at anything, no ambition, and no purpose. I think Stevo from SLC punk summed up the utter pointlessness of it best when he decided on the best way to abuse the system: to just do nothing with his educated mind after graduating college. What utter bullshit. :rolleyes

Same goes for all this emo crap - it's not (or doesn't deserve to be) significant. It's just a whiny attitude. Grow up. >:
