As you can tell by my post count and join date, I'm a newbie. That being said, I came here because I was searching for a forum that I could learn about new music similar to what i already listen to. You can read my intro thread to see what sort of music I like, if you so choose to.

I have no idea how to classify music, I was under the impression that Sum 41 was punk rock for the longest time, as was Blink 182, Simple Plan and the like. But hardcore Punk activists want to bash these bands, that i like very much mind you, and say that no they aren't punk but bubblegum pop bullshyte. Whilst, I don't agree with this approach, I've since then stopped calling them "punk" but just plain "rock".

So my plea to you all on this forum, who are so knowledgeable about music, and yes i'm serious, most of you are fairly intelligent. Most. Anyway, my plea is that you help me about getting into new music and with this whole classification of genres.

Some of these members' favorite bands are some that I've never heard of in my life, and I've searched for, and can't seem to find their music anywhere.

Anyway, I would like to ask that you don't flame me for being a newbie and not knowing a whole lot about music and just help me out, but somehow, knowing the nature of forums, this request will go unheeded.

Thank you to those that do help. I appreciate it.
