Music - Punk

[DarkJedi613]

I like some of the older stuff - Bad Religion, Pennywise, The Clash, The Ramones, etc.

I hate all the newer stuff though.

So this is that punk thread Jon was telling me about. . .

Yeah, I like punk too...the music (guitar rythems, bass, drums) is awesome, it sounds great. My top few are probably...NoFX, The Offspring, Pennywise, Rise Against, Strung Out, Greenday, and Millencolin. Ska is great too..Mad Caddies, Catch 22, Mustard Plug, and of course...Sublime!

Yeah, but punk was also influenced by American bands such AS: The Velvet Underground, which spawned from the Fugs. New York Dolls were probably one of the very first punk bands. They came about around the same time as The Ramones, and well we all know that The Romones by todays standards are 'pop-punk'. But who cares about standards, punk isn't really about rules or labels.

As for the Sex Pistols, you can't call them sell outs because they're knd of like N'Sync, created to be the next big thing. And they were. I still like their music, cause it sounded awesome, but yes, they were fake. (So in other words this whole thing I'm saying is.... Punk really came from the US.. not so much the UK).. That's all debatable though.

Old school Bands that rock that you should listen to if you want to become educated in Punk:
Minor Threat,
The Varukers,
Rudimentary Peni,
Social D,
DK

Influencial Pop-Punk bands that rock, (Not like Simple Plan/ Good Charlotte):
The Descendents,
The Ramones,
The Buzzcocks
Other bands that start with THE

Thank You,

awesome people... i was getting sick of rap and there was an overabundance of people who liked it... i was hoping there were some punk/punk-ish kids in FIRST. Yeah so I am into like a lot of alternative punk stuff and local

yeahh so anyone from NJ would know like Folly, Paulson, Houston Calls, Hidden In Plain View... etc etc etc.

Yeahhh if you know Paulson or Senses Fail... they are from my home town...

outside of the local stuff... I love like a huge range of rock from At the Drive-In to Slipknot to From Autumn to Ashes to The Alkaline Trio to older stuff like Nirvana and Metallica and the Offspring and basically anything and everything in between...

country still kicks but i still listen to punk. i like the clash, and letters to cleo, no doubt anything in between their.

Oh what a year can make. I'm not much more into the punk scene due to events my Senior year of leaving home, abandonment of what you belived in, and corrupt power. By far punk is my favorite genre right now, followed by hard rock. Nowhere in sight is rap or country, which I despise with a passion.

[Jonathan M.]

Indeed, I've discovered much better punk music since this thread was first started forever-ago. I still love a lot of my old favorite bands, don't get me wrong, I just know a lot more about it now. My favorite punk bands right now (limiting myself to five) are Propagandhi, Good Riddance, Strike Anywhere, None More Black (Kid Dynamite too), and I still love Anti-Flag.
My favorite oldschool bands are 7Seconds, Social D, Aus Rotten, Descendents, and Minor Threat.

The thing I'm big into right now is ska though. I'm really loving Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto. I haven't picked many more "favorite" ska bands cause I'm kinda new to it. I just started a Ska/Punk/Grunge type band with some friends that should be really fun.

All of the above being said: I'm not very fond of the 'punk scene' A lot of people are starting to piss me off, I'm really hating the purists, and elitists. That being said, I really hate Hot Topic and everything it stands for.

Let's not let this thread die. <3 More punk, ska, emo, hardcore (80's hardcore punk style too) conversations here. ^_^
