Answer 1

Punk is predicated on aggressive musicianship and often heavy, angry politics. It has roots in the nihilistic sounds of the Stooges, the MC5 and the Velvet Underground, but Punk came into its own in England in the late '70s as a savage reaction to polished, tired mainstream rock and pop. More than a musical revolution, Punk was a full- blown assault on the soured, restrictive social and political conventions that lingered in England following World War II. Punk's pioneers emerged from New York City's Lower East Side. They blended elements of aggression and attitude with undertones of Hard Rock, Girl Groups and even Rockabilly, turning rock 'n' roll on its head. Overseas, where few people were living England's 'dream' lifestyle of economic security, sophistication, and modernity, bands such as the Sex Pistols -- Punk's standard bearers -- burst onto the scene. Taking their cue from the New York groups, the Sex Pistols' anger and rebelliousness permeated their music, their appearance, their stage presence, and the embittered politics of their lyrics. Meanwhile, faster, rawer, and bitterly radio-hostile acts like Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys were taking wing on the West Coast, even as the more expansive X (from Los Angeles) and the legendary Clash (from the U.K.) broadened the definition of what Punk could be. Punk finally topped America's charts in the '90s, with the Punk-Pop of Green Day and the Ska Punk of Rancid -- both Berkeley, Calif., bands who owed huge debts to the Ramones and the Clash. Nirvana's Punk roots were meanwhile so distinct that the Grunge music they defined can be considered a flavor of Punk. But Punk as music and as an underground culture thrives, especially on regional scenes and through a loosely-knit network of fanzines (fan magazines), college radio shows and all-ages concerts.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Answer 2

most of those bands r like.... "pop punk"
i guess u cud pass Panic! At The Disco off as "melodic rock"
What about true punk bands?? (that started the punk movement)
Ramones, Sex Pistols ,The Damned, The Clash, Dead Kennedys or Richard Hell and the Voidoids. Unfortunately, nowadays, the word punk is applied loosely 2 any band with attitude, which is really stupid

Answer 3

well, its more in the attitude but i guess so. its better than being called emo. and u forgot about the ramones. no one is truly a punk rocker without liking the ramones. also almost all of the bands u named are not really "punk" but whatever, i guess u will have time in ur life to discover true punk rock from the roots. and u will be able to tell the difference between that and the wannabes.

Answer 4

no your pop Nickleback panic at the disco eminem all pop. You got a rock side though you like ac/dc. That is the only real rock band on your list all the rest are pop. Thats cool though. I'm a rocker myself

Answer 5

No, you don't in fact. None of those bands are actual "punk" bands by definition. Besides, even if they were, "punk" isn't what music you listen to or the clothes you wear. It's ideology and spirit deep inside.

Answer 6

No actually my brother listens to almost all those bands and I don't consider him a punk rocker more like alternative

Answer 7

that is called "pontificate (the Duckworth chant)". that's a protection force cadence call used even as recruits are operating or marching. the only you're concerning become reportedly began by using inner most Willie Duckworth; in accordance to this tale, in would of 1944, even as returning to base inclusive of his exhausted unit, he began making a music or chanting the first cadence. As protection force cadence calls can determination in accordance to branch, unit, etc. from time to time the words replace to be extra setting up even if the "i do not understand yet i have been advised..." line is a complication-free first line in "pontificate"

Answer 8

u sound like a rock fan w/ excellent tastes. I like all those bands, and i consider myself punk, but it's more your mind set, not the bands u listen too

Answer 9

No you don't sound like a punk rocker at all. Sorry but it's the truth.

Answer 10

nope not at all listen to some bad brains or some danzig or the misfits and some motorhead then back to me you sound like more of a tool of the mtv machine

Im not trying to be mean though

Answer 11

you sound pretty punkie and a bit metaly really you should listen to what you want and dont let prople pigeon hole you into a certain genre.
