MCR and Blink are obviously shit, but you don't need to go in the polar opposite direction to find good music. I'd even argue it's a horrible idea; Eyehategod is the kind of stuff my noise band friend sends me so I can tell him it's good and close it in 5 seconds. Never mind that I consider them less punk than a lot of popular bands who were never even trying to be, like early Thrice, early Say Anything, and recent Brand New.

K. Here's some punk rock then. Easily my favorite punk rock band ever, but there again, LOTS of metal influence.
