My favorite song of them is "Sex and Violence"!

SLC Punk ftw?

I personally like the Ramones, old Green Dayz, the Clash... never got into the Dead Kennedy's sad to say. I guess I listen to more pop-punk than old school punk. Though i do enjoy my Rancid and Dropkicks.

*ahem* I only bought Dookie when I was seven along with a poster of the album cover.

No one's mentioned any proto-punk bands, what about The Velvet Underground and Patti Smith? >:

[Johnny Stooge]

I got to see Bowling For Soup, The Vandals, Sum 41 and Pennywise a month ago.
It was awesome.

I'm also a bit partial to Anti-Flag, The Living End and blink 182's sweet, sweet brand of pop-punk.

[Massive Attack]

Also ... Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes.

Making bands up? Hell I wish I could say that I made something up as amazing as Blitzkid, that would be awesome. But even I, with my love for all things horror and decent writing skills, couldn't write anything like the lyrics you find in Blitzkid's songs.

Why do I get the feeling we've already discussed this? Oh yeah! Because we have. Fall Out Boy is NOT punk. They've got very catchy songs, this is true. BUT still not punk.

So hey, uh, could I be so bold as to call 3rd wave-ska punk?

If so, then Streetlight Manifesto and Reel Big Fish are at the top of my list.

[aquaVen]

Im gonna be honest Im not a very punk person...however i do listen to pop punk!!!

[Snow Candy]

Then that means I must come here and find out about New Punk music out...Old AFI was awesome, pop-punk, cool...hey would that include Boys Like Girls and Yellowcard?

While there are some confusions concerning whether a band is powerpop or pop punk/punk, in this case I think that we can be a bit lenient with our definition of genres.

For example, punk is characterized by loud drums and chord-heavy guitars; in that respect, Fall Out Boy is a form of punk.
