my social distortion/punk rant
so i saw social distorsion and my preconceptions about punk are back again, i don't know why but when i hear that some band is punk i expect really badass angry music and every time i actually hear a punk band i wonder what the fuck is this...i know they're supposed to be punk legends and they've been arround for a while ( which may explain the lack of agression ) but their music is really far from what i expected, sure the drums are a bit faster then usual but his vocals are just not .....well agressive enough. i think that my preconceptions about punk mostly come from the way punks look , they have an agressive look and that's why i always expect something much more harder then punk ( as i figure it ) really is....and this is what bugs me, when people start dissing bands like good charlotte and green day for being pop-rock, well i would say that punk as a genre is actually pop-rock. and my personal opinion is that the classical form of punk ( a.k.a. the ramones, the clash, green day, social distorsion ) is really outdated, of todays forms of punk the closest thing that comes to my vision of punk would actually be emo ( as in my chemical romance , yes, laugh if you will, but i think it's true ), really fast music and agressive vocals......
oh and i found it really funny the way the punk kids were throwing themselves arround like it was ATDI that played, and not social distorsion....
