To punks-in-my-blood: Eww...Something Corporate? So far from being punkrock it's not even funny. I don't get how you could say that. Also Sublime and Thrice aren't really punk either. (oh, and to set everyone straight, I'm speaking of only the "real" punk, not the overly broad genre that it has become today)
To Iamalejo: I agree with you that that list of bands (not counting Social Dis.) is a list that kids think are cool punk. While that's true, that doesn't really take away from the fact that they all play pretty damn good music. You say that the best bet is to just stay in the local scene, but that really kind of limits what's out there to listen to. I know what you mean and everything, but not listening to bands because of what genre they are in or how popular they are is just as bad as listening to music just because of that. I personally think why should anyone not care whether or not a band is the popular thing to listen to. If the music is good, than it's good.
Oh and for everyone: good "real"punk bands = subhumans, nofx, NUFAN, propaghandi, SNFU, Christ on Parade, millions of dead cops, TSOl, vandals, DOA, reagan youth, DRI, bad religion, Good Riddance. Just a list for everyone.
