Punk.

[the raggot]

As i believe that i have a fair understnading of punk and its factors ( different types, true punk, fake punk ect ) i was wondering all of your thoughts on the topic, just what u know about it, what you feel punk is and who is 'punk'. because i hear the term used so loosely these days it annoys me, i hate the kids in younger years who die there hair black yet have never been to a gig in their life..not that would mean theyre punk, but if they were serious about the image they want to put on, wouldent they try and discover more about it...but then again punk isnt an image is it? sorry if this doesnt make sense to half or 3/4's of you, im tired and am not checking my writing...moderators feel free to delete this post...cheers farkiners...

p.s wondering if u could list 5 bands u think are punk and what u think punk is, i may be wrong you may be wrong, i dont care i just wanna hear thoughts n stuff about it...


Bands

1. Sex Pistols- probably one of the first few bands to be recognised and start the genre of punk

2.Ramones- a more stereotypical, love rebellion american punk band.

3. The business- awsome 'Oi' band with bad bass lines that get you movin

4.No idea - only melbourners would no this, as theyre a local punk band, mabye some other people in australia would know them ( from aussie punk collections )but theyre an oldschool band that are taking aussie punk to another step

5.uk subs - another back bone of english oi, good listen

i believe punk today to be an image, but its what YOU think it is symbolizes, some think of it as rebellion, some think of it as suicidal death - which is fucking annoying-( dumb jocks ), some think love ( ive actually heard it from some emo's ) and others just think its a genre. i believe its a genre mixed in with rebellion, people wanna be recognised as rebellous and original. its not about the clothes you wear or the colour of you hair, its about what you support, disaprove, fight and mostly of all listen to :D

but the main topic i wanna talk about is peoples feelings towards it, feel free to discuss relating genre's e.g ska, reggae, crass punk, ect ect...

A guy walks up to another guy and says "what is punk?" so then he goes over and kicks a trash can. Then the second guy goes over and kicks another trash can and says "so thats punk?" and the first guy says "no thats just trendy"


anyway not that i am the biggest "punk" fan i would have to say my all time favourite "punk" band would have to be BAD BRAINS

Bad Brains kicks arse ..

[the raggot]

true that my friend, to both statements;)

[sxereturn]

There's only one thing worse than a kid with a pair of Chucks and bad mohawk who listens to Good Charlotte, and that's the people who think they know exactly what punk is or isn't.

I listen to a lot of Dead Kennedys, Danzig, Misfits, Sex Pistols (trendier than Good Charlotte these days) etc. I also listen to Michael Jackson, Two Up, and A Perfect Circle.

[konasaurus]

I never said i knew what punk was ...... i just think that is a cool quote ..... and bad brains is a great band


i listen to barely and punk bands

when i do it is bad brains .. at the drive in .. Ramones and some HC stuff

there is to many good bands out there to limit yourself to one genre of rock or metal whether it be punk or fucking Doom

[the raggot]

yeah i listen to way to much music, everything except amrican black rap/hip hop, eminem, and any type of trance... i also fear the exposure of good punk bands to the public, i mean theyve ruined ramones, theyre ruining dead kennedies, whats next, i saw an exploited skull in a surf shop ... IN PINK !, i mean WTF ! im just worried about stupid generations, but hey, i am apart of one i guess ay?

[FR Drew]

In around 1991, a German Punk band called "Die Toten Hosen" released an album called "Learning English"

Hosen had been around since about 1984 or thereabouts and when younger had grown up listening to the original wave of later 70's early 80's punk.

Learning English was a tribute album to all the bands they'd grown up loving, some of whom are household names like the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, some of whom are lesser known like the Lurkers and the Vibrators and some of whom most people have never heard like the Flys. They got a key band member (usu guitarist/vocalist) in to help them do covers of some of their fave songs.

If you want to get a taste of Ramones, Boys, Lurkers, Sham 69, 999, Radio Stars, Vibrators, Adverts, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, Rockafellas, Chelsea, Wreckless Eric, Damned, UK Subs, Flys plus a few others, it's a damn fine place to start investigating what was out there the first time punk raised its head. Well worth tracking down.

I think many folks who'd like to be punk are missing the point. I think a heck of alot of people back then who wanted to be punk were missing the point too. Funny how the Ramones and Pistols for instance never seemed to be strutting around with mohawks. Maybe this indicates that a mohawk and a safety pin aren't what make you punk. Neither is swearing or spitting on your audience or playing badly.

Personally I think punk was a certain thing at a certain time in a certain mix of social groups and set circumstances. Certainly music of a similar style still exists, some of it can be amazing, some of it can be unlistenable dreck (as it was then too I guess, the Pistols Live at Trondheim cd certainly sounds pretty shitful, guess you really had to be there and maybe that's the point).

As with any genre, there are greats, there are also rans, there are one hit wonders with a 2 song flash of genius.

I don't think Michael Buble or Robbie Williams are a patch on Frank Sinatra. Nonetheless they can croon and rake in the dollars. But that's good marketing, that's not being like Frank. Same with "new punk" Some is brillant, some is a passable attempt and great fun, some is crap.

What is punk?

I got no idea.

[RCOH]

Arrrgh. I am too tired & jet lagged to properly reply to this. Let the topic sleep.


Blink are punk (S. ;) )

[steamfrog]

Exploited, Agnostic Front, crass, Generic Dolphin, Milkmen, Dead Kennedys.

Good old days of business shirts with 350 safety pins in it, leatherjackets with right arm completly studded, Exploited skull on the back.Jeans with dog chains and tartan..


HAHAHA the good ol days.

Ok, I never get the clothing/music thing.
I mean why? what's the point?
Is it to be different? all it achieves is you look like part of another GROUP.

I mean I listen to metal, industrial, death metal and so on. You won't see me wandering round in black jeans and an Opeth T shirt. Or with coffin makeup on... I like dance and trance and stuff, you won't see me dressed up in fluoro vinyl flares. I like stoner rock, you won't see me in tie dye shirts smokin' a doooby, maaaan...

I just never understood the whole thing, about how liking a style of music leads into a whole fashion and lifestyle change.

And I hope nobody will try and come at me with that bullshit "if you have to ask you'll never understand" line, because "if you can't tell me you are a mindless sheep who doesn't understand it themself".

[October26]

Want to be really cool?

You need some sort of piercing or tatt! Come on be original!

lol

[steamfrog]

pfft.. I was doing this back in the 80's not this new wave of kiddie punk crap..
Probably before you were born or out of primary school.
I dressed to please my self, there was no punk fashion it wasnt on rage MTV or whatever and sure as shit wasn't trendy. We dressed the way we felt, I was unemployed and drank alot, whatever people expected I did the opposite not because it was punk to do so because that's how I was, I really didn't give a shit. I made my own clothes to express my disatisfaction with societys expectations hence spray painted shirts safety pins blood and vomit. The more vile the better.

[johnny]

Fashion is a social crutch for those that don't have a style of their own.

Just because some one's style is fashionable, doesn't mean it's not their style.

VON DUTCH = VON FASHION VICTIM.

[scottmeister]

Tom, I think you are the only real punk around here, I mean, you're just so hardcore man! I wish I liked Good Charlotte, they're such a good band. Ever since Blink 182 broke up I don't know what to do with my life; I'm considering listening to Simple Plan a bit more often now then. :eek:








Von Dutch shits me.

If there was a point to that post, I must have missed it....... :confused:

5 bands eh? Well I might just list the few "real" punk bands I listen to:

1. Bad Religion (really their old stuff is the punkier style, the recent stuff is more political rock)

2. Sex Pistols, but hey, how "punk" can a band be when they had image consultants and producers manufacturing them........?

3. Dead Kennedy's/Lard. Shouldn't even have to go into the whys and what fors of Jello!

4. The Wiggles, nothing gets more gritty and angst fueled rebellion of authority than the skivvy crew!

[steamfrog]

Lard! Ride the flume. Mudhoney - Superfuzzbigmuff not punk though.

[the raggot]

dressing has nothing to do with it, i dressed the way i wanted when i was tarten legs...i couldent afford all these brands and didnt want to, i loved the scared looks i got from people in flinders street station when my mohawk was rippin, i was called a punk but i was just doing what satisfied me, i got heavily into the scene and enjoyed the music i was discovering, so i listened to it..alot. it aint no fucking fashion so deal with it,

[Rexy]

the punk thing at the moment is just stupid in my opinion, surfie clothes are considered "punk", good charlotte and simple plan are considered "punk", everything that doesnt involve eminem or a homie is considered punk almost

I mean, i get called a punk, the only things punk about me is my hair (well before it got shorn off), high socks, dunlop vollies and a few scattered saftey pins, on occasions i will have a studded wristband on but thats it. I only own one sex pistols cd and know just a few ramones songs. Not exactly what i call punk, those things can hardly be considered "punk", i dont think people understand what it even is any more. Ask anyone on here who has rode with me im not a punk at all, but i still get called a punk by mr so and so on the street.

To me, some of the seattle bands from the 80's are what i call punk, none of this good charlotte shit, every second person is a punk now according to things, i think this new style needs a new name, hows "pfffft" sound?

[Disco]

lol Rexy... if they call you a punk then what do they call me? :P
I Listen to punk, and progressive. But to me, punk is an attitude not a style of clothes or soon to be ikea range of furniture. Punk originated from this attitude being expressed in music, ie. Sex Pistols "Anarchy".
And whats the deal with some of the WAFR (WA Freeride) dissing it?
[Rexy, Dave, Will, Lachy you all get my drift]

Michael

[bazza]

bands like the sex pistols where getting snuck into gigs by the ramones. the sex pistols have nothing apart from an image and an attitude. come on one cd. thats hardly anything to be memorable of. ramones where one of the original bands out there with that kinda attitude. i mean it really did all evolve from rock n roll back in the 50's. wihtout the world would be a very very very different place. than i mean you listen to the difference between say the ramones or the saints and than listen to a band like finch or bouncing souls. now all of them are classified as 'punk' but the sounds are so different. classifying stuff is just a way to make us feel more secure.
but my fav band would have to be the misfits. forrr sure, awesome guys even if danzig was a dick but hey what can you do. but the punk scene that really came out around 1996 was pretty cool as well. back when rancid, nofx, bad religion and pennywise all made fairly big break throughs. up until than there wasnt really that much of a change sinceeeee back in the day when the ramones first started getting heard. and than this started to change with the emo/screamo/hardcore thingo which came out like 4 years ago (im sure it was around but it only really started to get big about than). now look at how messed it is. i think the word should be better left to crappy clothes company that want to plaster it all over there shirts just to be 'cool' and we should move on from it. its all just music anyway. we listen to it we enjoy it and that should be all that matters.

[konasaurus]

If your a true "punk" you will know who you are so what are you fucking worrying about .....

[bazza]

mmmmmmmm bad brains, circle jerks, black flag etc etc etc. that was just freakin nuts. ahhha your post reminds me of a black flag song called 'six pack'.

[awesomninity]

punk is MILLENCOLIN .... need i say more!!

[Dicky]

A guy walks up to another guy and says "what is punk?" so then he goes over and kicks a trash can. Then the second guy goes over and kicks another trash can and says "so thats punk?" and the first guy says "no thats just trendy"

yeah, something like that.

I think I know what punk is, but then everyone's got their own take on it. You might think my idea is wrong.

I'm damn sure of what ISN'T, and I think examples of 'not punk' are a lot more obvious and easily definable.

Metrosexual sheep types wearing Von Dutch and ready-made ripped jeans. Yeah, they shit me too.

Wannabe emo kids that listen to all this manufactured new wave crap, and pretend to be as depressed and opressed as the lyrics suggest, just to be "cool" and get noticed, when they've got a good family and a happy home life.
They've never had someone they love move to another country, never had to go to their best mate's funeral.
The worst thing that's happened to them is a detention, for talking back to the teacher to look hardcore in front of their mates.
They're no different to the pop princesses and the commercial R'n'B crowd.
[/blatant generalising stereotype]

Fucktards...

(I have a good family and happy home life, for the record)

Punk is running the remote lockout lever / compression adjuster cable for the cross country fork on your street bike through the steerer tube, so you can still barspin - but you're not doing it to be "punk", just to make it work the way you want it to.

Maybe punk is simply interpreting the environment and culture surrounding you as you wish, not some other person/corporation/trend telling you how.

Maybe it's the elusive "being normal"...

[cressa]

Personally for me, these days i feel punk is an attitude, mindset and a lifestyle... to be anti-mainstream and pro-individualism.

I am a young family man with a 9-5er, mortgage and all that white picket fence stuff but i still consider myself a bit punk, although i would NEVER EVER EVER claim to be "A Punk". I am made sick when i watch video hits, i vomit at most tv soapies, i like to try and dress individually (no safety pins here), i can see straight through most news reports and mainstream media in general, and most of all i have a saucepan on my head that stops the mind conditioning radiation that seeps from the bowel of our society and government turning us all into mindless masses.

[fastrider gus]

i loooooove the dead kennedys! i dont listen to much punk but DK just make me wanna go nuts, jello has the madest voice which makes them stand out. i got an old D.O.A. cd with jello biafra on vocals and you cant tell the difference between them and DK.

Dead Kennedys
Old skool offspring
AFI (if that can be called punk)
erm... im blank.. go listen to some hip-hop or death metal people!

<---- Ticaaaal!

[dj jedijunglesnow]

Arguing about what's punk on an internet forum definately ain't punk.

[bighitter184]

Punk now is so much a convaluted term for a genre that has so many different facets.
Fugazi,The Melvins and Helmet can all classifiy as punk under this banner.
but also fall into the Alternative heavy Rock area too.
The term heavy metal was first used to describe a Jimmy Hendrix concert
put Jimmys' stuff next say Pantera and which artist is more heavy metal than the other by todays standards.
So punk can really throw a curve ball at you when shit like Good Charlotte and A Simple Plan consider themselves part of a movment.
Blink 182 are now considered lame and the fashion has associated itself with the skater so much so that we have corporate punk,ie: Globe , DC,Atticus etc etc
My Opinion will differ form the next,but I think it comes down to what you were exposed to in your youth and sought after.I allways thought you should listen to Ska as well this the Yang to Punks yin.
For me it was The Clash,PIL ,Elvis Costello(Hard to believe)Drunk Injuns,Dead Kennedys,Bad Religion,X,The Saints,NOFX,Pennywise,Lagwagon,Sex Pistol
Fugazi,Fudge Tunnel(Hate songs in E minor Rocks) Helmet,Toe to Toe,One Inch Punch, Massappeal,Blitz Babies,The hard Ons,Jim Carroll band,Suicidal Tendencies,Ramones and Hillel fulled RHCP even though they were funk/punk.
NOw I have moshed, slammed,stage dived and gotten in the circle for all of the above except The Clash,I'm not that Old!
And I allways thought that Courtney Love was Punk because she Pissed on David Geffens desk when he was dicking them around before they(Hole) were signed.He was sitting at the desk too.

[scblack]

[Rexy]

Disco id say "uber punk" or "badass" would be what they would tur and say to you after calling me a punk hehe.
I think the wafr forums general feeling about punk is what the general public feel about it, they think punks are weird loners who are crazy, and just dont understand it.

[at the drive in]

Everyone seems to credit the sex pistols as being punk pioneers but is isnt really the case. The whole idea for the sex pistols was thought up by a guy called micheal mclaren( many claim he was copying the ramones) he claims he wanted to create a band which sang about rebelion. Any way he gets the group together it is claimed they could barley play thier instruments. He then get his girlfriend who went on to become a famous fashion designer vivian westwood to create clothes which represented rebelion and anarchy. The sex pistols are born. They were all about image.

[dj jedijunglesnow]

Qoute from Mick Jones from The Clash,
"...and then I saw the Sex Pistols and I realised that I wasn't alone in the fact that I couldn't play too well."

[punk_downhiller]

there are many great punk bands out there today, one of the best, but have broken up would have to be Blink 182. but other than that i would say, Brand New, The Used, New Found Glory, My Chemical Romance and MXPX

[Captain Blake]

1) Gravedig
2) Blink 182 are not punk nor are they good/ever good
3) You need to go back to the old school, sex pistols is where I direct you.

[Jacko Wacko]

i recently went to a gig in melbourne callled 'Punk Fest' and i saw No idea play, their pretty good but 'Behind Crimson Eyes' are better :D

[Arete]

Punk is taken way to freaken seriously.
The Sex Pistols were indeed manufactured by Mclaren, to promote his fetish clothing store.
Punk actually began to arise from the US with Bands like the New York Dolls, the idea spread to the UK where it really took off.
Fast forward 30 years and it's still a fantastic way for middle class kids to feel hard done by. Emo/screamo/hardcore/metalcore/fruitcore whatever, it's just music and fashion.
My favourite "punk" bands include the Betercore, Parkway drive, Converge, the Hope Conspiracy, Fugazi, Rites Of Spring, Alkaline Trio and others. I also listen to industrial, metal, faggy art rock and smatterings of other stuff.
I get called punk fairly often. But anyone who perfectly fits into a scene or genre is pretty lame really.
So in reality, it's fashion and other people's creativity adopted and taken way too seriously by insecure wankers.

Funny that, I was just listening to Fugazi.

Anyway, punk shmunk. Punks not dead, just a little bit tired.

[donthucktoflat]

ramones, sex pistols, the damned, the used, area 7 to an extent, as with older living end.

punk went through a resurgence of sorts during the 80s/90s with bands like the offspring and greenday, who sort of redesigned the image and public acceptability of the genre and lifstyle. now i love both these bands equally (old stuff, like anything before smash) but if you REALLY want someone to be blamed for the rise of pop-punk.emo etc, i reckon it is these two bands. (of course there is the media whore thing as welkl but even that wouldnt have happened without the help of these two bands (probably others as well)

my top 5 punk bands of all time would have to be (not neccesarily in order):
propaghandi: hardcore political punk. these guys are fast, aggro, loud and hate everything and everyone. (listen to "the only good facist is a very dead facist", nation states

Dropkick murphys(DKM): irish folk punk. fast, drunken and awesomely good. also awesomely funny at times (listen to the pub with no beer and the spicy McHaggis Jig

The clash: mellower sounding almost reggaeish sounding, very dub like (listen to london calling and the guns of brixton

Sex pistols: what more can be said. just read the posts in here (listen to god save the queen and anarchy in the UK

Bad Religion: heavyer sounding band. a little slower and more melodic but still f***ing awesome. (listen to punk rock song and atomic garden)

i am not at home atm and cant think of what else to write without a little inspiration but yeah, that should give you something to chew on

[Captain Blake]

Propaghandi absolutely rock. Nation states would have to be one of my all time favourite songs.

Drop Kick Murphys are godlike. Irish drinking song is just pure fun.

Bad Religion, well, what can I say, AWESOME!!!!!!

[Cheazy]

pfff i laugh at all of u with all ur pussy try hard "punk" bands.... simple plan 4 life! respect

[at the drive in]

Old school punk is where its at. Im loving bands like Fugazi, circle jerks, bad brains, black flag, henry rollins band, dead kennedys, the exploited, the buzzcocks, Adam and the ants,iggy pop and the stooges at the moment and minor threat

[Bjern Fita]

Fast forward 30 years and it's still a fantastic way for middle class kids to feel hard done by.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[wombat]

Say I was to listen to whatever I want to listen to, and wear whatever I want to wear whether it be fashionable or not; and then tell you to take your judgemental, elitist opinion and jam it up your arse.
Would that be "punk"?



Now, where's Rod? :)

[snotty]

One punk band member was asked in an interview how he could get away with wearing Converse skate shoes during a gig - "did he think they were punk?"

He replied, "I got them for 10 bucks... thats punk."

I don't know if I agree.. but I like black clothing.. I like what has been classed as punk music (along with a lot of others) and I find this arguement comical.

[mtb1611]

Punk's not dead it just deserves to die, when it becomes another stale cartoon.....

Chickenshit Conformist, Dead Kennedys.

The sex pistols were punk pioneers, as a band the help to create awerness of punk and with out them other bands like PIL, The Clash, The world famous surpreme team and Joy Division would all have never been and all who were far better than the pistols.

Regardless what you think of Malcome Mclaren he has had far more influence of music and culture than many other people in the music industry. He was one of the first poeple to try and get a hip hop act signed with Africa Bambata he then latter signed the world famous supreme team (buffalo girls). Even the clash were formed by an employee Malcome Mclaren as a rivalry to the pistols.

I cant belive there is a punk thread and know has mentioned The Saints. One of the first punk bands and from Australia, they were punk before it called punk, a true revolutionary band.

[roasted]

I love the saints.

I need more.

There's only one thing worse than a kid with a pair of Chucks and bad mohawk who listens to Good Charlotte, and that's the people who think they know exactly what punk is or isn't.

I listen to a lot of Dead Kennedys, Danzig, Misfits, Sex Pistols (trendier than Good Charlotte these days) etc. I also listen to Michael Jackson, Two Up, and A Perfect Circle.
what he said...
Raggot, sounds like your trying to justify your 'punkness'...Who gives a shit...Listen to whatever you want, wear what you want...If you're trying to define 'punk', you're as bad as those kids you are talking about...
ps- No Idea have done heaps of tours in Sydney and are quite well known...
pps- CLash, Operation Ivy, US Bombs, H Block 101, Buzzcocks, The Jam
ppps-please kill this thread

[konasaurus]

This is a very "un"punk thread

man i've had too much coffee to read this but i still wear my old steel toed docs and my dirty old leather jacket (not one of my studded ones too heavy and wanky) but any way there's too much bull shit with that croud like if i listen to the exploited i could get beaten up for having a crass patch, something that only someone with noledge of the music would understand why blah blah blah..........

....i'm glad i found mountain bikes :D

i still like crass - PUNK IS DEAD the song they released in 1984
