It's hip hop with a punk attitude.

Not really, but kind of. It's hard to explain, just check it out.

''who really decides what the essence of a genre is''
I mean, I know it's subjective. I know it's just some people who would catagorize certain bands based on certain simialarities. But it just surprises me how often there's these bands that play pretty much the same kind of music aren't called Punk just because they're popular, have changed elements the result of which they don't like, or a band is awful. It just feels arbitrary, and hell, narrow minde/limiting, like Punk has to have this very specific sound or something. Anywho, Garage Rock was a derogatary term for amateurish rock n' roll bands, implying they're youngins who practice in their parents garage.. Punk Rock was inspired by said Rock N' Roll bands, and well, look at the name, it means something similar. Punk is slang for young and inexperienced. It just started as simplified, straight to the point, fast/brief rock n' roll mostly by young amateurs. Ofcourse as it developed, it has attained more characteristics/conventions, including, typical sounds. As it's so simple, you might notice it unlike metal making blatantly new sounds inspired by some previous ones it tends to blatantly mix with other genres. It's not easy to make very different sounds while still capturing all the charm of punk. Death Grips has Punk aggression/energy/attitude and rawness and tensity we'd really get when Hardcore came around. It's hip hop in punk spirit, but it's not really hip hop mixed with any of the punk sounds, it doesn't really make any use of punk conventions. It's hip hop and electronic music through and through. It also doesn't have the amateurish/straight to the point/simple aspect to it though, but neither do some actual punk bands anymore. |

Metal genres have riffing styles. Punk genres have riffing styles. They both use power chords, one more than the other, but often in generally different ways.
I don't think nevermind is a punk album, though, Territorial Pissings is 100% a punk song. (Don't remember much songs off the album tho, maybe there's more). |
