Anyone else like it? A lot of people think its just noise but some of those band's made some good rock music when they wanted to. The Buzzcocks sound more like a semi fast pop band than punk. I like going to shows but dont really like the types of fans at them. Usually real snobby if you look different and the girls are posers. Maybe theyre different in other countries?
Mc5, m.d.c., dead boys, stooges, iggy pop, the clash, buzzcocks, dead Kennedy's, black flag, minor threat, circle jerks, fear, dayglo abortions, d.o.a., sex pistols, d.r.I., angry samoans, bad brains, the jam, husker du, the damned, subhumans, t.s.o.l., toxic reasons, the crucifucks, crass, suicidal tendencies (?), killing joke
I'm always looking for bands with their own sound. I never got into the exploited, rancid, anti flag, etc.

What about NOFX and Bad Religion? I love me some NOFX, Punk in Drublic is one of the greatest albums ever made. In Australia, the fans just look like average people. Don't really get the spiked coloured hair with studded leather bracelets and chokers and shit like that anymore.. I mean they're there, but theyre a minority.
Are there really any new punk bands tho? No one really cares about the political aspect of it all, a lot of bands cashed in and went emo when that was big. I feel hardcore is the new punk with bands like my bloody valentine, parkway drive etc making a new kind of music. Maybe punk has had its day.
I'm going to Goezrock in Brussels in May. Looking forward to it.

I love me some punk, but I've been moving away from it over the last year. I'm just worn out by the scene and the new kids suck. The guys are effeminate pussies and the girls are pixie cut try hards for the most part. Actually, now that I think about it, they aren't punks, they're hipsters, and I fucking hate hipsters. I only go to shows when my friend's band is playing because it usually means I get to go on stage and sing some GG Allin.

I hold punk accountable for one of the biggest counter-cultural abominations ever... Straight Edge.

Unsurprisingly that came out of D.C.
Everything that is shit comes from that city.

It started in D.C. when Ian McKaye (Minor Threat) wrote the song "Straight Edge". He never wanted it to be a movement though.

Kimber, I always looked at nofx and bad religion as pussy punk. Off! is a newer band and has Keith Morris on vocals. They sound just like circle jerks with 1 minute songs.
I went to a show a while back and a blonde Henry Rollins clone let me in free. Had the upper chest and mini workout shorts. He got on "stage" later to sing and had a bottle broken on his head by some drunk dumbass. Then he punched the guy who did it and broke his nose haha. I love when people start drinking and blood starts flying. Thats when the hipsters and girls start backing up!

I saw Teenage Bottlerocket with The Queers last year. I was no impressed. I don't really like that style of punk. They start of hard and fast, then it gets all poppy. I talked with the lead singer for a few minutes outside after the set. Seemed like a decent dude.

Pussy punk. Thats a bit rough aha. Punk is raw, but I've been to concerts that have gone both ways. I remember a small concert of about 100 people, where literally everyone left bleeding. I also remember a concert where the lead singer was so drunk he'd forget the words halfway through a song and just stop.
Wilhelm Scream and Flatliners are beers. Such good bands.
I listened to a lot of the bands on when I was a young buck, so I suppose I have no idea what the real punk scene was like. But i'm loving the fact everyone is bringing up bands that I haven't listened to in ages a la misfits, dead kennedy's, minor threat etc. Feels good to revisit a that time.

I never really liked the misfits either. Theyre probably the most popular band with posers because they're logo is kool!1 Someone post up that video of danzig trying to talk shit and getting knocked out

The chubbier singer. The girl that took me to the show was from their town. He didn't remember her despite her being at all their parties. They were high energy, I just don't like their style. The Queers put on a good show. Got to talk to the lead singer for a bit after running into him in the lower level of the venue after the set. I had more fun smoking cigarettes outside. I always say the real punks stay in the parking lot.
Edit (Danzig video): Note all the white knights that jump in to his aid and bitch at the guy that knocked him the fuck out. Fame is to men as having a pussy is to women. He started that shit, got knocked the fuck out, and the other guy is in the wrong somehow? Too bad it was before the time someone could yell "WORLDSTAR".

I met Rollins after a Rollins band show in high school and expected some huge monster. Dude was 5'7 and thin with that huge tree trunk neck. Still puts on a great show.
Has anyone read Get in the Van? Its pretty good if you're into black flag. I also met Greg Ginn last year after his solo show. I felt bad, there was hardly anyone in the venue after he finished.

Henry Rollins has an amazing Iggy Pop story.

Yeah, I was high as fuck on Methoxetamine, and he asked if I had any weed. I didn't bring any because I'm not a fucking retard who travels with shit. You might know her, but you know I'm not going to answer that here.

The first music i really got into was punk. Well more hardcore/sludge/crust stuff
There's still some decent stuff coming out from that genre.
Dangers and ghostlimb are like really angry melodic hardcore
If you like black flag check out cult ritual
Dunno how to classify it but check out baader brains and please inform the captain this is a hijack
And last but not least one of the. est bands ever : his hero is gone.

It seems like Scandinavia and ex-Yugoslavia produced some of the best punk bands. Brazil had some bad-ass groups like Olho Seco and Armagedom, too.

I grew up with punk rock and listened to many of the bands above and went to shows. They were great but I also think that they contributed to me being blue pill. The majority of the bands preach way to the left ideals and put the thumbs down to money and their girlfriends are mega bitches. That is at the larger scale but locally there were some inspirations. This story comes out of Toronto...
We were at the house of an aging guy in a punk rock band. I think the fact that he and his band were a bit older than the usual mid 20's punk rock band idealists lent to their perspective. He was showing us pictures of the "tit wall" in their van which was a polaroid collection wherein that was the pass for any girl who wanted to hang out with them after a show. He also explained that, in his opinion, girls have an expiration date and it is age 20. This was all while his 19 year old girlfriend was spiking his hair for him. 15 years later he is now alcoholic and homeless. A fate similar to Chi pig of SNFU. In retrospect, punk rock was fun if you only bought into 60% of it.
