POP/PUNK is dead

bob. · 08-02-2012, 06:43 AM

first and foremost...joy circumcision did not add a single word to your mouth....all he added was a couple of genres that would obviously be added to you weird genre breakdown list

second thumbs up to Holerbot6000

before i go off on your points...i have a question....what is the punk movement?

the "punk is dead" bullshit started nanoseconds after the where did punk come from argument started

but i would love to read what your idea of the punk movement is before i state my case

in closure

this is a band called 7 Seconds...they were from the shitiest redneck, backwoods town in Nevada....Reno

this song was first released on a comp in 1984 by BYO records....and basically sums up my argument

but please enlighten me as to what the punk movement was and why it is dead

Using a song to express your opinion about something? This isn't Facebook bro.

Also, I already stated in my OP what the punk movement was and why it's dead. Did you only read the title of this thread?

You're seeming a bit ignorant here mate

Actually you didn't explain what the "movement" was, all you did was say that it was a movement. Did you not read your own OP bro?

This is the OP's argument as I interpret it:

"I have an arbitrary definition of punk rock as a movement and I put its arbitrary ending date at the end of the eighties because that's when the hardcore movement died, which is the last leg of punk rock according to my arbitrary definition of what it was as a movement - a definition I refuse to present for critical analysis. Now explain to me why I am right under my own definition."

"But OP, there are competing definitions for what the punk movement is. For example, I would say..."

"NOPE. Discuss as I stated in my OP IS punk, not this false "spirit of punk." Punk be dead!!"

OP, it's difficult to take you or your topic seriously when you make up these non-falsifiable definitions and have no elasticity of opinion, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that there was some miscommunication on someone's part, so just provide for everyone a couple things to debate over:

1. What is your definition of punk rock music as a movement? Include sonic influences, cultural values, etc. Why is your definition better than everyone else's?

2. If your definition is superior, then extend it into other major umbrella genres such as prog, metal, and psychedelic rock - are these movements in any way dead because they have their own offshot descendents in the form of subgenres?

3. What does it really matter if punk is dead or not?

No it's okay. I'll just **** off back to where I came from. You obviously all hate me and my ideas are retarded so nevermind. Sorry I wasted everyone's time

^awesome...so i don't have to write my winded argument about underground music and how you should get off you ass and go look for it rather than sit around an internet forum and bitch about how Black Flag was the end all of punk rock.....

If only there was some kind of filter we could use to weed out idiots like this before they join forums. Then we wouldn't have a problem.
