Truly punk is dead. When self-proclaimed fans will gap-mouthedly (tm) gorge on whatever is offered up as the latest artificially punk-flavoured treat of the week by so-called independant radio stations i will now truly shed a tear.

Dont you find it odd that all these bands that wear the moniker of punk now sound exactly the same, all the while flaunting the cookie cutter, carbon copy non-message of rebellion against the very things that make your hissy fit throwing, staying out past curfew to play in the park and carry around a skateboard life possible? Is it a coincidence that they sound the same?

No. Punk, like most other music genres, is now tailor made and studio/record company invented to fit the audience. So dont be confused, you dont like bands like blink-182, good charolette, and sum-41. They like you. They play what you want to hear (read: what sells.)

Stick a fork in it, it is done.

Flock is right...

DK, Social Distortion, Rancid (Op Ivy), Bad Religion, Face to Face, Crass, The Clash, etc.

And these are just a few examples of safe, mainstream punk. If you really must lame out, look up the bands that used to be on the Fat Wreck label. They are decent, but poppy and college-radio enough as to not offend your litter sister.

I was reading something with Billie Joe from Green Day where he was spouting off about the "the media in the Bush controlled government".

Basically, he was insinuating that Bush was controlling the media as the cause of all that was wrong with America right now.

As if the media doesn't have a left bent to it and for all intents and purposes wants Bush to go down in flames.

I shook my head and stopped reading. I suppose kids are listening to his "message" wearing studded belts, low rider black jean, shirts that come untucked and show their bellies and wearing mascara now screaming, "Yeah! **** Bush". And I'm talking about the guys.

Good pop songwriter, yes.

Agent of social change (ala Bob Dylan), no.

[EDIT] can't get the bloody picture to work right

When i listen to music in the background it goes for metal like Haste the day, Lamb of God to late 60's early 70's like the Kinks, The animals, a little zeppelin, and of course CCR. Newer music listen mostly underground indie-rock like Vampire Weekend. Which is this link.

Look up Propagandhi...they may offend your little sister, and The United States Government.

They are opinionated angry Canadians that play music to get their message across.

I don't agree with a lot of their ideology, But the music frikkin rips!

I find them to be close to "punk", but that's just a label that means nothing.

I listen to them a lot while flying.

O and i have been listening to Blink 182, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte before they even were known by anybody. I listen to different punk on sirius satalite radio, its good too, just not pleasing to the ear. O and alot of their music isnt liked (Blink 182 and Boxcar Racer especailly) I just think that what I have been listening to my whole life shouldnt change because its not "super cool rancid punk" its punk like it or not. O and i guess Slayer is okay if u can call them "rancid punk"

man yall want some good music try truvium, children of bodom, dimmu borgir, edguy, sonata arctica, ensiferium, soilwork, arch enemy, steve vai, engwie malmsteen, these are mostly heavy metal/ symphonic metal with pianos, very cool music!!!

personally i never liked punk music i think its all banging on instuments and make our pants tighter then then are damn legs.

Aerosmith beats asss! i love skidrow!!! if you like metallica try trivium. they are a little more hard core but really good.

children of bodom and dimmu borgir have amazing musicians!!! singers aint so hot so dont listen to them.

all amazing music!!! pandora have showed me a lot of thoughs bands

Lute

BTW, anyone here ever listen to Slayer's absolutely brutal album Undisputed Attitude? Apparently Hanneman is a huge punk fan, so they dug out some classics and let 'er rip. Excellent stuff.

On the polar opposite, CCR is some great stuff.
