What do you think "real" punk is?

Question

I think it's:

Adolescents
Dead Kennedys
Bad Religion
Social Distortion
Descendents
Black Flag
Bad Brains

I wanna see how many stupid people come in here and call Fall Out Boy punk. Those people sicken me. No MCR or Panic! either.

Answer 1

All those bands are old school punk rock and they rock harder than any of these new wimpy emo-punk bands. That being said... even though they suck, Fall Out Boy do play a type of punk rock. Just like any genre, punk rock has branched off into many differenty styles - some good (skate punk), some bad (emo-punk). Of the bands you listed, Adolescents are by far the best band. Bad Religion's new cd's have all been pretty bad (IMO), and Descendents have also gone down hill... I've never been a big fan of Black Flag... Bad Brains never really appealed to me... Social Distortion rock, but their style of punk is not what I usually listen to (a bit slow for my taste -- but they are still an awsome band).... Dead Kennedys, well... any band that has a song called "Too Drunk to F***" is awsome in my book.

Anyway, yeah... this new emo-punk crap is terrible and I can't listen to it without throwing up a little bit, but it's still a style of punk rock.

By the way... SLC Punk came out in 1999... it was just about the 80's punk scene.

Answer 2

Check out the movie "Salt Lake City Punk". I think it's a Sundance film from the 80's. It is true Punk!!

Answer 3

I think you are soooo right. Dead kennedys, black flag, and all those other great bands, that is true punk and nobody has the right to say those new emo bands like Panic at the disco and All american rejects are punk.
