Is punk dead?

[Ravenous]

Well is it?

I think punk is dead, but similar genres such as punk rock are taking its place.

punk is getting there

but i like punk rock...

such as Bowling For Soup and Greenday... ect....

[///James///]

Punk is my fave! i dont think it is dead, or dying. just going through a slow patch. however, greenday are really popular (in ireland they are neway!)

[Anonymous]

[Ravenous]

green day arent punk, they are punk rock or pop punk. Punk is the sex pistols, the clash, the ramones etc. Punk is dead, long live punk rock

[///James///]

[Ravenous]

I mean music, punk is gone but it left us punk rock, pop punk, ska punk etc.

[serial-thrilla]

[AC.wAkeBoArDin.06]

cmon.m.. what about the Cure

[Ravenous]

Yea the cure sure ok thats one band, they are still making records arent they? i think i remember a new release not long ago.

I can easily say which bands are punk rock and which ones just suck. Sum 41,
Early Green Day, early Blink 182, Bowling for Soup, The Clash, Billy Talent, Rancid, Reel Big Fish, The Ramones, Buzzcocks, The Misfits, NOFX, Sex Pistols, Good Charlotte are okay. Bands that are emo pop posers: Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, Red Jumpsuite Apperatus, The Almost, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Relient K are MTV top 40 bubblegum pop.!

Why was an ancient post brought back from the tombs of phpBB? Should this be locked? : /

I don't know to answer the question because I never liked punk

[Sugaree]

I think punk is dead since now punk rock is coming in. Like Green Day and Bowling for Soup. But yeah mainly it's dead.

The band I bolded, yeah that's about the only Punk Rock group you listed.
Know what you're talking about before you even come close to insulting MTV.

Early Green Day = Fast Alternative Rock
Bowling for Soup (unfamiliar with too much, not sure enough to categorize)
The Clash = Founding Punk, even though they PLAYED light rock.
Billy Talent = Alternative Rock
Rancid = PUNK with elements of rock but not enough to constitute "punk rock"
Reel Big Fish....ARE YOU KIDDING?!. That's 3rd wave SKA buddy.
Ramones = see the clash
Buzzcocks, hmm haven't listened to them in long enough to know.
The Misfits = Horror Punk.
Good Charlotte = rock, it's not even alternative :/


and just to prove my point, copied this post from the other punk topic I made
V

To people claiming punk is dead, NO. Mainstream punk is dead (Sex pistols/ramones/exploited) BUT, you clearly don't realize that that's the point? Punk was created to go against the mainstream, when these bands became mainstream, they lost their fan base in the underground scene's. Punk is fuckin alive, hell I just got back from a Punk show 2 hours ago. The difference is, local punk lives, it's not mainstream. Every neighbourhood has a punk scene, the key part is not being 14 and fucking finding it.

Stop jumping on the "punk is dead" bandwagon. THE MEDIA JUST CAN'T FIND IT. Hell, one of the bands in my city made their own recording label for punk in the tri-city area. I have over 30 punk CD's scattered around my computer.
When I ask someone if they've heard of "The Nummies, Hands of the Few, The Sewer Rats, The Gutter Demons" many say no, CUZ PUNK IS UNDERGROUND.

[dannyley]

ok, its not dead,

i mean their are still a lot of punk bands out their

but i think people should watch their language
