Is Old School Punk an actual genre? (techno, hardcore, jazz)

ObiSobi · 02-17-2008, 12:03 PM

I've asked this question to several punk rock fans. The ones who were green day fans said no. The ones who werent said yes.

It's easy to see the connection here, Green Day.

Some see GD as "New Punk", along with bands like Blink 182 and Sum 41.

Others think that punk hasn't changed enough to create the "Old School" subgenre.

What do you think?

Green Day is music for 13 year old boys. Green Day fans are usually wrong about everything.

That made me chuckle, even though I listen to Blink 182.

Don't assume that I just like this commerical, near-powerpop of pop punk. I do listen to the real raw too. Descendents, Bracket, Lagwagon, MxPx, and Millencolin have all found a spot in my musical taste.

Blink-182/Green Day haven't even been pop punk in a long time (though blink was really only pop-punkish on like their really early stuff) and Sum 41 never were.

I don't see any of that as 'new punk' though, or punk rock at all......so I'm not a Green Day fan, but I still don't see 'Old School Punk' as an actual genre or anything.....a band is either punk rock, or it's not

No punk is punk and they aint punk. Punk is a historical concept now. Too many other influences now merge it and it isn't punk anymore as punk is an ethos that was taken up by rap.
Punk was a concept and is now no more.

Punk was the seventies. It is no more.
Those other bands are like early morning school holiday tv what is your favourite colour jelly kids.
