Ok so many people get on my nerves with this. What in your opinion is "punk music" because I'm sorry Sellout Boy [Fallout boy ] do not count as punk...punk is sex pistols, dead kennedys etc they totaly pwn all!!! But yeah so many people class fallout boy and PANIC! at the disco as punk its not its "pop punk" is it not??? But yes as much as i like [some of] fallout boy's music and the rest of it, it is not as hXc as reallly true punk right????:yippe:

Depends what era, early punk was stuff like the Sex Pistols and the Clash, middle era punk was stuff like NOFX and Rancid and possibly early Greenday. Now you have stuff like Sum41 and all that crap. Easy listening but definately lost it roots like.
a lifestyle, a fashion, a musical genre, an attitude.
does it really matter?
thought not.
anti-flag?
you basically just described them
Less Than Jake are the only band that's considered 'PUNK' that I really like but I wouldn't class them as punk at all...
Yeah, them and Bad Religion, The Clash, Pistols, early NOFX as someone said.
Though they don't have a political standpoint, I would also include the Misfits as their music has a lot of similar characteristics.
I wouldn't class LTJ as punk - they're more Ska/Rock. With a brass section.
People like Wank Off Boy, Good Charlotte et al. are just fucking abominations.
yeah, i think they classed themselves as "ska-punk" but it was more the music style including some punky riffs than a way of thinking/lyrics etc...
their new album is pop-rock and it's SHIT x 10 (in my honest opinion!).
Errmmm...no, not really. Bands like Crass, Conflict etc espoused anarchist ideals, but labelling punk (which was basically about music and fashion and attitude) an "anarchist movement" is, well, not true really.
Them and Abba
Yeah but even if they do call themselves punk-ska, they're not really punk...just a kind of ska/rock/pop-punk band...but a fucking good one unlike most.
Yeah their newest album has kind of lost their old touch now that they don't have the french horn player but it's still a great rock album.
Can't wait to see them live at Brixton!:yippe:
im sure itll rock

Its a documentary called The Year of Punk, sorry its in so many parts.
The term "punk rock" (from 'punk', meaning rotten, worthless etc) was originally used to describe rock and roll bands in U.S. of the mid-1960s such as The Seeds and The Standells, who now are more often categorized as "garage rock."
These were the main influences of the Punk bands that emerged in the time scale.
Punk rock also emerged as a reaction against certain shit music that was around at the time in the seventies, like the pop stuff that was round at the time.
Same as the Punk Rock The Punk 'Fashion' emerged by rebelling what was 'normal' at the time punk fashion deliberately outraged propriety with the highly theatrical use of cosmetics and hairstyles--eye makeup might cover half the face, hair might stand in spikes or be cut into a "Mohawk" or other severe shape--while the clothing typically adapted or mutilated existing objects for artistic effect--pants and shirts were cut, torn, or wrapped with tape, safety pins were used as face-piercing jewelery, a black bin liner bag (garbage bag) might, and often did, become a dress, T-Shirt or skirt.
So yeah i think thats the beginning of punk, best way i can desribe it was it was a big fuck off rebel against everything.
There was cast offs just like any genre. later on the was reggae influences and 2 toned I.E the Clash then we had the Ska-Punk, the Specials, Madness etc that spouted from that. whast happened now is it has spread so much that it is just watered down and people think its punk when clearly is t isnt.
what gets me is why so called 'Punks' listen to Send More Paramedics when its quite clearly fucking thrash behind it.
Unfortunately these days, people that belong to a certain "group" (e.g. Punks, Emo's, Metalheads e.t.c) will listen to a certain band and class it as "their genre" just because the image of the band matches their image and the media (cough Kerrshit cough) tell them it is....they don't actually know anything about the music.
i mean i dont care if they do listen tot hem, there a great band but they think there punks and stuff when they just clearly arent, gets on my tits. i know SMP pretty well played with them loadsa times and regualrly meet and they are no way punks. bunch of guys whos influences on the music ONLY in horror movies and old skool thrash. nothing like Sex Pistols, ramones etc etc
