punk rock
 

anyone like punk? and no i don't meen NoFx, green day, the ramones, or the goddamn sex pistols....THOSE AREN'T PUNK!

Re: punk rock
 

what are you talking about? The Ramones and Sex Pistols ARE punk. Basically they, along with a couple other bands, invented punk. NOFX and Greenday are pop-punk, which is a sub genre of punk. If any of those aren't punk, then what IS? And I love punk.

Re: punk rock
 

If the Ramaones and Sex Pistols aren't punk, then who the hell is?

Re: punk rock
 

are you serious? the ramones and the sex pistols are media made advertisements for "punkey" clothes, the ramones get credit for being the first punk band, but the exploited were playing before they even formed. johnny rotten goes on about "no future" and then flies off in his pivate jet and invests his money. he goes on about anarchy but in reality if he were in an anarchist society he would be killed and no one would want to make his bondage clothes or the knox for his hair. there's no such thing as pop-punk, its just a fancy word for pop-rock sellout. pop and punk are total oposites.

Re: punk rock
 

same question....answer it burntheflag

Re: punk rock
 

i agree with you about no fx and green day not being punk but how the hell can you say that the Ramones and The Sex Pistols arent punk? the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and the Clash were the only punk bands

if you dont think that the Ramones and the Sex Pistols arent punk then what the hell do you call punk

Re: punk rock
 

wtf? the ramones are punk gods! so are the sex pistols and the clash. but don't you dare call linkin park or green day punk.

Re: punk rock
 

I generally dislike punk; I much prefer heavy metal.

Re: punk rock
 

i hate linkin park and green day linkin park is a fuc*in discrace they are trying to combink rock and rap and you cant do that

Re: punk rock
 

metals cool too, but have you ever actually listened to punk?

Re: punk rock
 

why can't you? is there a law against it?

Re: punk rock
 

Same question. I think they pull it off quite well IMO.

Re: punk rock
 

WHO said Linkin Park was punk? They sure ain't punk, they're rock/rap=rack :\

The Clash is cool...They're the only punk I've heard of...All these idiots like Good Charlotte and Green Day are pop idiots...

Re: punk rock

Re: punk rock
 

I don't mind discussion however if there is anymore flaming like a couple of posts I had to delete this will be a short lived thread.

Re: punk rock
 

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. http://forums.filefront.com/images/s...rcastic%29.gif

Re: punk rock
 

Punk was good in its day, but its all sold out and spent up.

Green day are more pop than puck, and the discgrace that is linkin parks rock/rap.................. It doesnt deserve being talked about. Now, rock n fucking roll, and metal is where its at.

Bands like velvet revolver is where the musics at.

Re: punk rock
 

audioslave, VR and jet are rocks finest at the moment id have to say

Re: punk rock
 

If the Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Social Distortion are considered punk than yes.

Re: punk rock
 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Voidoids yet. they were punk before punk existed.

Re: punk rock
 

those are SOME punk bands.

Re: punk rock
 

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.

Re: punk rock
 

Well, that depends on you. I'm pretty lenient myself however if you push I'll push back.

Re: punk rock
 

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.

Re: punk rock
 

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.

Re: punk rock
 

'proper' new punk bands are the distillers and yeah yeah yeahs

Re: punk rock
 

Who cares about "proper" to me if it has that distinct raunchy sound, it's punk.

Re: punk rock
 

thats what i meant by proper:)

Re: punk rock
 

Sounds like NOFX and Green Day to me. http://forums.filefront.com/images/s...arrasmentx.gif

Re: punk rock
 

"characterized by harsh lyrics attacking conventional society and popular culture, and often expressing alienation and anger"

Most of nofx's lyrics are based around this, so yeah by definition nofx IS a punk band. But also by this definition, linkin park would be punk....

I find a distinct sound in punk and I believe nofx has it in spades. I think some people give them a bad rap due to their mass appeal.

Re: punk rock
 

ok how come no one here has said anything about rancid if they are not punk who is apart from ramones and the clash. greenday i would say are a punk band as are nofx, there is a word in the english dictionary and that is EVOLUTION!!!!!!! Bands like the ramones were the first band that made punk noticable to the masses , which then got uk punk bands noticed and signed to record lables.Greenday evoloved from the ramones using simple 3 cords song structure, if you play guitar you would see the structure of ramones songs and greenday songs are the same, but as time has gone by greenday have evoloved into the great band they are today, still pushing the envolope and not caring what people think about them, that is what punk is about, doing what you want when you want and not giving a fuck about anyone else.

Back to Rancid they are punk and will always be punk they have never signed to a major label, they did have the chance to but started there own label and released there albums on that. There are some really good street punk bands over here in the uk the likes of Capdown and five knucle. So in conclusion evolution is the big word here, as these bands grow older so do there views on the world change. And at the moment with all this war crap going on its good bands like greenday and nofx are still around to piss people off( only wish rage agaisnt the machine were still around).

sorry there is alot to read but it had to be said.

Re: punk rock
 

It's the same way with Green Day. They can only make so many Dookies and Warnings before they get popular and hardcore idiots consider them mainstream, therefore no longer a good band. Not everything has to be an underground affair.

Re: punk rock
 

Ahhh I think you will find that the one people that try and put names to punk are 13 year olds trying to fit into a certain click. Much like our original poster. Enjoy music for what it is, not for what your friends tell you.

Re: punk rock
 

WTF!?!?! Sex Pistols created punk. FFS
