N*SYNCisPUNK

Typically punk bands were thought of as only playing underground shows and fighting the establishment. But now bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan are considered punk by some. So what is punk defined as now?

i'm hoping your name is some kind of statement illustrating that if good charlotte and simple plan can be considered punk by some, then its not so much of a stretch to consider nsync as punk. well it is a stretch, a band needs to at the very least play insrtuments to be considered punk.

draw the line for yourself. It's a matter of personal opinion, so form your own opinions instead of leaving it to others to dictate the guidleines to you. You're the one who's so against conforming to societal norms, and so proud of your so called "punk lifestyle", I would think that you'd already have formed your own opinion regarding this matter, you seem to be plenty opinionated on other matters.

Thats a hard question because nowadays you cant help be contradict yourself when you talk about whos real and who is pretending. many of the bands like simple plan and the newer generation havent really LIVED punk like how it was in the 70's. But i guess you could say that punk was about rebellion. But now you have these middle class-rich kids dressing punk and stuff!!! So it's not rebelling anymore.

i dont think you have to live a certain way to play punk music. i also dont think there are guys who pretend to live that way, especially matured adults. you cant say that "punk is dead" because theyve been saying that since the 80s. punk music is coming out in abundance (more so now than ever), and it may not be as good as the old shiiit, so if you dont like it, then maybe you should stick wit the bands from the past

whenever anyone tries to 'define' punk someone always ends up getting mad because there just is no 'definition' for it. My thought is Good Charlotte and Simple Plan are pretty much only considered punk because of the way some of the guys dress and how things like MTV are saying it only because stuff like that sells.
