The Dead Kennedys, eh? Would that be the same Dead Kennedys fronted by Jello Biafra, who was beaten up on outside Berkeley's Gilman Street club by five thugs for being a "sellout rock star?"
No mention of Fugazi? Bad Brains? The Germs? The eldritch Misfits? Minor Threat? How about Sick Of It All, the Adolescents or the U.K. Subs?
I'd call you a hypocrite, but no, you're right; you're the only real punk here. The rest of us are all poseurs, because you said so.
ok, thats enough bashing you guys, sorry. your more hardcore than some of the posts i've read make it seem. so how strict are the mods here? i just got banned off my favorite forum by some jackass mods who abused their power.
In my opinion there have only been three real punk bands; the ramones, sex pistols, and the clash. Theres mopre than a few others that get honorable mention... but yeah.

I'm sorry but there are plenty of modern punk bands. You can tell by the distinct sound. I agree that green day is not punk and has a more rockish sound. NoFx is most definetly a modern punk band. I think the only reason you say they are not is due to their popularity. I am ever so sick of people labeling music. Why don't you take it for what it is instead of being so cynical.
