What is Punk (country, pop, rock, American, member)

Hairy McTouch · 04-25-2005, 04:52 PM

I am Irish and young (but musically educated). We must remember to be very carefull about what passes for punk. Punk was born in Thatcherite England when they really had something to complain about and a reason to be angry. The Pistols, The Stranglers, The Clash and the rest rallied the masses. Irish punk bands were the next to follow as the country was (and still is) at war with England. It takes real issues to create real punk music. I hate to see all these American cry-baby bands whinging about there mum telling them to clean their room. Its only pop with intsuments.

I hear ya man...I hear people on this site all the time telling younge people that they are too late for punk and that they missed it....but as far as I am concerened....just cuz you were not around when the music was made don't mean that you don't love it just the same...and my friend,,,that is what punk is about. it ain't where or when it affects you, it's what it means to you and how it affects you.

Ugh, not another one of these kids. Ok listen up hairy. Your not original, your not unique, making this thread dosnt make you any more punk. Look at how many people have come and done this exact same thing. Show up start thread on the "real punk movement" and then leave a while later feeling fullfilled. Im not going to be careful for what passes for punk because I dont care. It sucks that these bands are trying to make a quick buck off of my subculture of choice, but thats life. The same thing has happened for a long time. Use your music education to look outside the spectrum of punk and grow up a little.

But the stranglers were good

the clash were the first ones to bring politics into music and were the reason many bands started.
