Punk Music!

[Guest The Mage Prince]

Punk and ska is what most of the kids at school lisen to. Whould any buy a punk zine if it was any good me and a few mates are starting a punk zine. how cool is that. Only for aussies and kiwis, but if it gets bigger than the states will get it to. My fav song is by less than jake: all friends are metalheads. that song rocks!!!

[font=arial][size=1]Ok I like Stretch Armstrong. They are fun, I burned a copy of that from a friend, but yeah, punk rock is fun. I have been listening to alot of just hardcore and rock lately, so my punk list of music is a bit slim of late. But yeah, MxPx has some fun stuff as well. Lol. I have a few local bands that are some good punk rock music as well. Names Without Numbers and Better In Eleven. But hey, NWN has a few CDs. They are fun. [/font][/size]

ZxFrOgie13 you are one of the only people that has the same taste in music and i thinks that rocks you are cool. Another cool band is "The Hand Me Downs" they are really cool that started off as a ska band. well on the guitar player did anyway.

Does anyone out there know why most ska bands go into punk? Less Than Jake did!

You've just been listed... Poser. ;)

I had a band, I got tired of it, so we just split. Oh yes, punk isn't a person, its a type of music. You can be punk, its impossible, unless your some poor under-achiever child who goes to Salvation Army to get their plaid pants and that whole stereotypical style for it.
Not mainstream, true underground stuff. If I ever said crap like GC or NFG was good punk, I would get jumped. Cause its just not, mainstream = evil.

Personally, I don't care for those bands but that's a pretty dumb mentallity to have. Just because a large number of people like a band doesn't mean they're automatically bad. You're free to have your oppinion, but I'm also free to think your oppinion is a bad one.

"Poser" and "sell-out" are the two most over used terms in our language. Nothing is misused and skewed to fit someone's agenda in the music scene more than those two, and I ****ing hate both of them.

I don't like New Found Glory. I don't like Good Charlotte. I don't like them because I don't think the music is good, original or anything else... not because of some ambiguous group that [i]thinks[/i] it's not good enough to be considered punk music for whatever reason.

If a person doesn't like bands because of peer pressures and the idiotic "this is punk" mentality, then I'd have to say that person is the one being a poser.

I could sit here and name dozens of bands no one here has ever heard of (as could you, and definately Olga heh) and it would never matter.

Enjoy the music, **** the status.

[size=1]I know what some of you are thinking... "It is about time he posted here!", lol...

This topic has come pretty far already so I am not totally sure where to start. I suppose I shall start with the beginning post.

I suppose NOFX is a good band, but I there are other bands I would listen to before them, and they are probably pretty far down on the list as to bands that I would want to see live. I judge this from experiencing two of their shows. They [i]suck[/i] live. Especially if they are sober. If they are drunk (which I would imagine they usually are), they at least have some amusing antics, but they mess around with their music too much, and talk too much between songs. They were one of the headlining bands at both shows, and I still preferred other acts over them.

MXPX is mildly okay... they are down there. They have a few listen-worthy songs, but nothing I would listen to often.

Bands I do like, though, include: AFI, the Distillers, Rancid, the Ramones, the Exploited, Dropkick Murphys, Tiger Army, Leftover Crack, the Used, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Death By Stereo, Dead Kennedys, Anti-Flag, Body Jar, Devotchkas, the Sex Pistols, Frenzal Rhomb, Mad Caddies, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Jugheads Revenge, Bad Religion, Misfits, Agnostic Front, ECP, Thrice, Hot Water Music, the Offspring (early stuff, like Ignition), the Unseen, Bouncing Souls, the Vandals, Guttermouth, Sick of it All, ... I am pretty sure I could go on for a while...

(Given: Not all aforementioned bands are neccesarily punk. Some are ska and hardcore.)

I must also mention Apocalypse Hoboken, who Semmy was so kind to share with me.


As for the whole "poser"/"sell-out" idea, I am going to say that I am not usually one to go around calling people those names of whom I would deem so, but it vexes me quite a bit when people think they are so [b]f[/b]-ing hardcore because they listen to bands that I would rather piss on them than let their crap fill my ear space. Rather than just put a label on those people, I let them be their own diluted selves. There is no use in trying to tell them any different. They will just take this "holier than thou" attitude.

Those are my thoughts for now...

[edit] - Another band I forgot to mention. Teengenerate. Crazy little Japanese garage punk band. My props to Transtic for them.[/size]

I could ramble on for hours, naming more bands that are completely unheard of, but other than that, I dont have much new to say, except that I play bass in a punk band and thus punk and ska are my two favs. If you're a bassist or drummer, then you know that if you want to have any fun, its either punk, ska, or jazz. And so... The only real point here is PUNK MUSIC ROX FOREVER. SO there. h4x0r.
