Oh there have been many misconceptions alright. The ones that get me really pissed are people who think that Nirvana is punk or emo... oh those make my blood boil...
...People think Nirvana is Punk/Emo?
...Pfft XD

Half the world is saying that Fall Out Boy is "Sooo00oo punx0rz!!111" And it's driving me off the walls. X_X

Alot of people have a very odd idea of what "real" punk music is, but now im past caring, I know myself what it is and if all these who think that Green Day, Blink 182, Linkin Park are punk then whoopty to them.


Some of my favourite punk bands are The Decendents, The Mad Caddies, Mixwitch, Rancid, Black Flag, Shellac, Therapy?, Whitmore, AR*****, The Casualties, Strife, Bad brains...*mutters on for about an hour*
I do not have enough time for PC anymore, it is a sorry affair but I haven't been active in a long time. I do not have many friends still here at PC but if you are one that is still please feel free to contact me via msn.

Please do not compare Green Day to LP and Blink, as it is very offending. kthx.

Rancid! I love Rancid! <3 And I have a Mad Caddies song and they're really good too.

Mmm, those 3 are all just as bad as eachother.
Love, not hate. I highly disagree with that. I highly doubt you can compare Dookie to Blink 182's Enema of State. It's like comparing a lemon to a lime (Kind of sort of not really come from the same roots, but you still can't exactly compare them- Okay that was a bad comparison...whatever XD)

But yeah...I might as well post what I think is real Punk Rock- Of course this means nothing:

Against Me!- Not really a local band, pretty good and I saw them live at a Green Day concert.

Alkaline Trio- Chances are you know this band. They're kind of dark lyrical wise, but I still consider them Punk Rock.

Anti-Flag- GO LISTEN TO THEM, FOOL! They're the best political band out there.

The Ataris- Mmm, 'dunno if you know these guys. Pretty good.

Dropkick Murphies- I just wanted to note these guys, because I think they're from Boston. I could be wrong.

Green Day- Go ahead, flame me and see if I could care any less. These guys have been punk since 1986. If you want to start an argument, don't get this thread locked- Message me or something.

Jimmy Eat World-*gets stared at* Okay, okay, they're more what idiots would call "Emo" but I wanted to mention them ;-;

Kisschasy- <3! Australian band, and they're amazing.

Man Alive- Amazing band, not enough credit. They sell their new CD at best buy, go look for it. It's called Open Surgery. They're Israeli, by the way.

No Use For a Name- Yeah, you probably don't know these guys. Been on tour with a few of my favorite Israeli bands...

Operation Ivy- For some reason, these guys are compared with Rancid wherever I go. No clue why xD They're also called Ska sometimes, but I wanted to bring 'em up.

Rancid-Pwnage band, go listen.

The Unseen- Probably 2nd best political band next to Anti-Flag. They're from Boston, and they're amazing.

Useless I.D.- Israeli band, which WILL make it to the top one day because they have so much freaking potential.

And finally, we musn't forget the start of it all: The Clash, the Sex Pistols, etc. etc. ^_^

...I do not wish to start a flame war, but I will say that Green Day are Punk. o_O If you want me to explain why, PM me or something.

No, MCR aren't Punk at all. They just aren't.

I generally divide Punk into two seperate categories now, XD

There's 'Original Punk', stuff like The Ramones. Stuff that basically defines the genre.

Then there is 'Modern Punk', which is stuff like Blink 182 and Green Day. They can be classified as punk, as they share more qualities with punk then any other genre, but don't stay true to all of the qualities that 'Original Punk' had.

I'm a Ramones and Clash fan myself.
