Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 9:14 pm Post subject: Modern Punk
I'm not a punk fan anymore, in that I don't know any new punk bands, but I'm wondering who and why are the best punk bands out right now?
In my day, that is the days back yonder when I listened to nothing but punk, I listened to:
Operation Ivy
NOFX
Rancid
Social D.
Descendents
FYP
Pennywise (only self-titleled and Unknown Road)
Swingin' Utters
Lagwagon
Gorilla Biscuits
Minor Threat
Black Flag

I never got into punk really, as I was more of a metal head in my youth. But I always really liked and respected NOFX. I have no idea about the modern punk scene.

Modern Punk has a lot in common with Modern Hip Hop. In both cases, the truly original artists were long ago replaced by flashy but inept "artists" chosen by marketers. _________________ “We must always take sides.

I hate all subcultures. I hate punks, I hate Emos, and I hate metalheads.
Every subculture is a bunch of idiots trying to act a specific way. Especially Emo kids, I really cannot stand them trying to act all sad all the time.
And yeah, it seems that Emo music is more popular right now. I like the actual music, but the lyrics want to make me vomit.
''You could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath, I'd apologize... For bleeding on your shirt.''
I don't understand this obsession with wearing black, covering one of your eyes with your hair, and cutting yourself. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

At least show some commitment and cut deeper... _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel

emo is a bunch of BS

emo is short for emotive not emotional...
but something i hate more than people going around saying "im emo" are people who believe it too and say they hate those kids

If you hate all subcultures then do you hate rap? _________________ Think about how stupid the avg. person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

wouldnt necessarily place rap as a subculture... "gangsta rap" for example would be a better example but not rap as a whole since metal/emo/punk are all branches from Rock-N-Roll and we can take Rock-N-Roll further back to Jazz, Blues and R&B... but opinions are @ssholes so there's no use of trying to adjust them to your liking

I listen to whichever ones, if any, are on Guitar Hero.
For real though, GH has been my only exposure to bands who feature an electric guitar in their music.
Now i have a playlist with music by Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine, Killers, Slipknot, Disturbed, Tenacious D and Weezer. I have no clue what genre theyd be considered though.

At least he's creative. He cuts himself by picking his nose too hard, as opposed to the cliche' razor blade route... _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel

Yeah, but not to the point where I cut myself or am doing it on purpose. And it really isn't that bad, actually. Just kind of that kind of feeling when you are on a vacation near it's end. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
bingo. There are NO good punk bands unless they've been around for 20+ years
just gotta know where to look
i'm not some musical indiana jones where i'm supposed to look inside someone's ass for good punk music. point is, there is none out there right now. The only few good bands i can think of off the top of my head that's been around for 10 years or less i can count on 1 hand. Rise Against, Tiger Army, and the Distillers are a few i can name.
