Recently I got a good split CD by the bands "Warfare 88" & "Forward Area". The

Any other fans of these bands?

I dont think a bands political affiliation should matter, especially in Punk.

I hate politics in music. That's not why I listen to it. Obviously a lot of punk is politically driven to the left, but I listen because of the catchy riffs, simple chord progressions, good vocals, etc. I stopped going to the Warped Tour (after 7 years straight) simply due to half the bands vomiting their political propaganda on stage, instead of picking up their guitars and rocking out already!

As a Staunch Midnight Oil fan from waaaay back, i do believe there is a strong place for Politics in popular music. From it's very beginnings it made political impacts and often, whether intended or not, had political impacts... look at how polarizing Elvis was and how conservatives reacted to him... it was nothing short of a gigantic outrage! So whether or not you like it, if you impact the public in a massive way, you're bound to enter the political realm in some way.... it's because politics is about people and how the world is governed and what communities deem acceptable...

And hey if you have a great positive message why not use your unique place in the public eye to do some good... prove you're not some scrubby kid whosse head is full of irrelevant stupid thoughts... I'm ok with that.

If you don't like bands having thoughts, just tune out and go buy a beer between songs... or start listening to throwaway pop tunes...

Just want to point out a couple things. First, I dont believe for one second that any teacher taught that blacks immigrated here and became slaves voluntarily. Unless this person went to school in the 1800s, I think that was completely made up.. Also, alot of blacks owned slaves themselves. In fact, blacks were slaves in Africa, owned by other blacks, long before white folks got involved. Doesnt make it right, Im just sayin.

I dont think anyone is trying to argue that slavery was right or that it didnt have a great impact on future blacks. However, I find it very odd that immediatley following slavery there were ex slaves that did well for themselves. Owned property etc.. Also, they generally were very family oriented and spiritual. Now 100+ years after the end of slavery the black community is in shambles. Dont you think that over time the situation for blacks should have gotten considerably better, not worse? What we have here, and its not just on the part of blacks, is a society that wants everything handed to them. They dont want to take responsibility for themselves or work hard to achieve. They want to cry about past wrong doings and make claims that someone, or everyone owes them something.

Everyone should read the book "black rednecks, white liberals" by Dr. Thomas Sowell.

I mostly agree, however I can tolerate these hippies screeching about animal rights and how oppressed they are.

I'm not sure thats what lefty punk is touting.

Its cool in concept but I don't think Right-wing punk is interesting enough to make me listen to punk. Is it a small government thing?

duga · 01-21-2010, 02:43 PM

^

punk gained popularity through its politics. especially left-wing (oh god i hate saying left and right wing) "politics". i just think punk celebrating the government is a paradox...i don't know how else i would describe it other than listening to it would severely upset me.

its like christian death metal...sure you CAN do it...but why?
