Who likes Punk?

Cryxan	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 5:21 PM Nah... it's more about a fashion statement than it is about music.
Fozzie	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 6:03 PM no it isnt
pog	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 6:42 PM Old school punk like dead kennedys & sex pistols is brilliant. New school stuff like Green day & Living End is cool to, but the new wave pop punk like Blink kinda hasn't convinced me so much.
draugluin	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 6:59 PM to be honest, a punk is someone in prision who takes it up the ass....if punk is a fashion why isnt everyone wearing inmate clothes around their knees waiting for someone to bang them in the ass? punk is a well defined style of music, that started way back when but didn't really hit it big in our generation till Nirvana brung it back from the dead. Then from them spawned several new punk bands, as well as the ones who weren't well known. But fav bands, not in this order: MxPx, Pennywise, NoFX, The Queers, The Ataris, Goldfinger (more of a ska band), The Donnas (its a joke), Green Day (always, fav CD: Dookie)...umm lots more but dun feel like naming em.
pog	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 7:01 PM Most of that stuff's in the alternative niche, not the punk niche, isn't it man ?
draugluin	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 7:06 PM nope Nirvana is punk
dsch	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 7:33 PM I haven't heard much punk, but generally, it has to have a clear melody and more than three chords before I like it.
draugluin	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 8:07 PM lots of it has more than three chords and just not in the opening riff in some songs. the melody part...depending on which punk band you are listening to varies. Like MxPx they have a somewhat upbeat happy melody in most of their songs. Pennywise, has a Hard Punk sound to it, NoFX has somewhat Hard Punk/Polka sounding style to it. Lots of the other bands vary though. Depends on which type of beats your brains respondeds to. Thats why i listen to Electronica more so than Punk beeps and beats stimulate my brains more than strings and vocals.
cype	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 9:48 PM i'll list some bands. Blanks77 Casualties The Queers NOFX Anti-Flag AFI Boy Sets Fire Shai Hulud Strife The Hope Conspiracy The Unseen Good Riddance Against All Authority Catch22 Scared of Chaka Bouncing Souls and more!
backmann	Date: March 18, 2002 @ 10:48 PM I like more melodic rock bands, and some hard rock ones.
morgdobwcpt	Date: March 19, 2002 @ 2:26 AM I used to listen to punk, but sort of lost interest over time...
backmann	Date: March 19, 2002 @ 11:06 PM However, some punk songs, although they aren't a big deal, are quite good." id="5809">I don't think it was just a fashion statement. But I don't think punk songs are real master pieces of rock either, as they have few riffs a song, and a lot of punk songs are very much alike. Bono said "punk showed that you don't have to know how to play an instrument to make music". However, some punk songs, although they aren't a big deal, are quite good.
pog	Date: March 19, 2002 @ 11:12 PM propaghandi - now that's punk
Your-Mom	Date: March 21, 2002 @ 10:46 AM NOFX, Screechin Weasel, Good Riddance, Lag Wagon, Deisel Boy, Strung Out, and Hi Standard are some of my favorites.
tirthankara	Date: March 23, 2002 @ 5:32 PM twas more political than anything, now it's just a marketing scheme for some and just musical for others. punk. very much so.
weaponzero	Date: March 23, 2002 @ 5:55 PM actually it wasn't more political than anything, it was more about being collectively different when it came about in CBGBs, it was mainly just a bunch of retard kids making a style of music that wasn't like all the rest. that snowballed into a whole lifestyle of punk, which was just differing from the normal. political punk is music that doesn't conform to the standards that politics has set, pop punk, on the other hand, has nothing to do with being a punk at all. :/
weaponzero	Date: March 23, 2002 @ 5:58 PM and my fav "punk" bands are anti-flag, propagandhi, bad religion, and rancid. nofx is rad, and alkaline trio and hot water music both own.
tirthankara	Date: March 23, 2002 @ 9:10 PM i agree with you, except in reverse chronological order. pop punk = garbage. i like punk rock, musically, a bit. the entire lifestyle and set of political ideologies always seemed like utter bullshit to me, however. anarchy is a technical impossibility, and communism, while intriguing, has shown itself to contradict its own vision when executed in large numbers. large being nation-sized. i think smaller communes rock, provided they keep to themselves.
entro	Date: March 23, 2002 @ 9:15 PM Now punk is a cliche overall, with categories (poppunk - mostly about girls, really warm guitar tones, emo - slowed down and bitchy/wholesome, sxe/hard, commercial like blink, etc). Nirvana was grunge/alternative, breaking from rock. Punk was around during the 90s. If you really want to get technical, you can trace it sociologically (dress, attitude), or musically (high bpm, short songs like 1-2 minutes only, simple structure, crappy if any solo). Most of the above was learned while trying to learn new styles of playing. I have waaaaaay too much time on my hands." id="6257">draulign, what are you talking about? Way back. Ramones. Sex Pistols. That was a political fuck you. Remember the god save the queen spoof that got rotten beat up? And then they left the uk for the us? And then now.. Bad Religion - Hear It and No Substance, political songs. MxPx/NoFX dinosaurs will die (record industry) etc. Manic Street Preachers - anyone remember the cuba thing? It started as an anti-society thing. Check the evolution - blues was a way to get through the system of racism and just enjoy music etc. Rock came out, kids having fun and skirting "the system." 60's hippies. Rock splits into harder and fluff (pop). Then there was disco, hard rock, and punk.

tirthankara	Date: March 24, 2002 @ 2:48 PM nah, history lessons are important. punk has pretty much gone comatose, todays disenfranchised youth aren't so fucking idealistic.
morgdobwcpt	Date: March 24, 2002 @ 7:23 PM the majority if today's youth, unfortunately, are also too stupid to understand either the early ideals of punk or why those ideals are bullshit. if I keep on like this I'll turn into a bitter old man way too early...
tirthankara	Date: March 25, 2002 @ 1:27 AM yeah. they just lick the inside of butter wrappers. seriously. i've seen it. but you know something, i welcome this breed of resilient retards we're breeding. it's about time we had a really nasty batch. all we've been doing as a society lately is preventing evolution from functioning properly.
Cryxan	Date: March 25, 2002 @ 5:14 PM Yeh-they may be fun to laugh at--until they start voting." id="6319">" i welcome this breed of resilient retards we're breeding." Yeh-they may be fun to laugh at--until they start voting.
tirthankara	Date: March 25, 2002 @ 6:31 PM most of them don't vote.
theguppykillers	Date: March 25, 2002 @ 10:36 PM green day is cool!
ebjcoat	Date: March 26, 2002 @ 2:22 PM but there not punk
