I dunno I'd even say the Clash or Elvis Costello are punk. At least, they're not the first I'd think of.

and also Elvis and Clash transcend the punk genre by experiementing with different styles, but they were still true innovators, they had the DIY and in your face attitude, a social and political conscience, they spoke the truth, and above all they created their own unique sound.

EDIT:
"You call that crapfest fun? I suppose listening to babies cry is a great way to spend the afternoon as well".

what's your idea of 'fun' music?

There hasnt been music fun music in a looong time, then again, i hear Lady Gaga and Jonas Brothers are just true inspiring artists, that have a strong intelligent influence on our modern youth and society.

i feel a juicy debate coming on..

And I'll say it again here, but I think of X-Ray Specs and that sort of sound.

All I hear when I listen to the Clash is the beginnings of BAD, which isn't bad, at least to me. :lol

Anyone who calls those 4 bands punk probably thinks having 8 mirrors on a scooter means they are Mod.

British accents make punk, I guess.

I don't know what's strictly punk, if there ever was such a thing. All I hear anymore is 2 Tone and such, which I dig a lot. The Specials are great.

Punk wasn't a sound, it was a feeling. A not so great feeling hitting you from every person that wasn't you. Punk existed because people were not feeling the fun times.

I wasn't around for it. But I thought it was an attitude. FLASH VIOLENCE REBELLION! Shit like that. At least, it pretended to be.

That's what the movies and the adults needed the public to morph it into. It was an angry movement towards intolerance and the injustices of our (both UK and USA) governmental abuses.

Heh. Intéressant.

But I dunno. Can a person have a good time with it? What's a good time? I'm thinking music you'd play at a party. Something to get down to. And I'd say that a lot of punk-related stuff probably wouldn't work.

Like saying industrial is a good time or the Carmina Burana and O Fortuna will get the ladeez wet.

Yeah, generalization of music helps categorize a sound but looses the roots of the music.

I can't have a good time listening to John Denver

Therefore John Denver is punk

Right

I can't have a good time listening to a vacuum cleaner :(

the police are punk right

THAT MEANS YOUR MOM IS PUNK

:lol

FUCK I LEFT THAT ONE WIIIIIIIDE OPEN

LIKE MY MOM >:

FUCK YOU SAM

WHOM IS

JUST LIKE A WOMAN. :rolleyes

i don't know, when I saw the Dead Kennedys at the House of Blues my junior year in high school, jello brought his mom on the stage, introduced her, and then began screaming Nazi Punks Fuck Off, then suddenly holding his mike out and letting my friend scream the "FUCK OFF" bit midway through the song, that was pretty fun

though I do remember watching an interview of the faggts who sang that one "Johnny Hit And Run Eileen" song sniveling and whining about how "new" early 80s punk fans would good-naturedly spit and throw bottles at them

that has nothing to do with anything, but I do love pointlessly confusing arguments with irrelevant anecdotes about nothing.

Well I was being very sarcastic when I said that you can't have fun listening to punk, then FatMan wanted to take it all seriously so I thought I'd let him do it in a thread, the the little faggot has the other thead on notify.

The first Clash album definitely falls under punk, the rest not so much.

The Dickies can get away with making punk music fun.

That's not punk, that's junkie music.

I just saw this thread and felt like this deserved to be in here.
