Wait Avril Lavigne? that is just plain sad.

Hmm hard to say cause these days i dont even know what is punk anymore. The genre became so flooded with all these different type of punk genres.
I guess i can stick with some though:
Rancid
NoFX
Ramons
The Clash
a few more i just cant remember at the moment.

I was expecting the definition of 'punk' to reach maybe Sum41 levels, but Avril Lavigne is a whole new level of lol-ability.

It's between Pixies, The Clash and the Buzzcocks for me, probably the latter.

Pixies most definitely aren't punk. At best, they're grunge.

Anyways, either Siouxsie and the Banshees, or the Sex Pistols. But I'm not all that big on Punk.

Massive Attack · 05/21/08, 07:37 PM

Siouxsie and the Banshees, *old* Japan, Bauhaus, The Cure, At the Drive-In ....

EvilQueen · 05/21/08, 08:15 PM

Oh man, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco are like the best punk bands ever! Oh my gosh! And who doesn't love Avril?!

Okay.....first of all...

*gag*

If you don't know what punk is...don't talk about it...Paramore? Give me a break.

How about The Misfits? The Offspring? Pennywise? Now that's punk.

**blinkboy211** · 05/21/08, 08:17 PM

Thats not punk your just stupid towards punk music. Fall Out Boy is the best punk band out there and Arvil is the best solo punk out there. I mean if they arent then let lightning strike me now.

EvilQueen · 05/21/08, 08:23 PM

I guess there's a freak thunderstorm in St. Louis now then. Better hide.

I'm surprised this thread isn't filled with My Chemical Romance, yet.

I've always been partial to The Clash and Dead Kennedys.

Unfortunately, I left my lightning bolts in my other pair of jeans, but make no mistake; you don't know shit about punk.

Well said!!! Too many ppl are FOB haters...

Massive Attack · 05/21/08, 08:29 PM

Actually, the bands that are looked down upon in this thread are pop-punk ... like it or not, it's a sub-genre of punk.

That was sarcaism. Fall Out Boy is not punk. Hell Next thing you are going to say Hilliary Duff is punk. OH yeah lets all rock out to the Duff.

Cameron · 05/21/08, 08:32 PM

I hope you're being sarcastic.

Punk is catagorized by short, powerful songs, usually based off of power chords and not much else, with simple basslines and pounding drums that take center focus. Typically there're some nasally, static vocals, with bareback, anti-establishment or confrontational lyrics.

Fall Out Boy and Avril really don't match any of those qualities. At best, they're pop-punk, but even that's a stretch.

shattered hearts · 05/21/08, 08:35 PM

Ahhh ok... o.O lol
Misfits are good though.
