Punk music? Music will never die.

**zajac** · 07-14-2004, 12:24 PM

punk isnt dead..... there are too many punks out there as fans for the genre to die... i mean... disco kind of isnt even dead yet.... kind of.... lol

Poltech · 07-14-2004, 12:27 PM

Nope, as long as one person listens to the music in the whole world it isn't dead.

shatskater · 07-14-2004, 02:32 PM

YA PUNK!! it will never die, EVER!!

Kenzya · 07-14-2004, 02:46 PM

Why would you even ask? If you just glance around you'd know it's not friggin' dead. Like I said before.. Music can't die..

Well, REAL punk is nearly gone. But cheesy and shitty pop punk created by the posers known as Blink 182 is thriving quite well. Fuck Blink. They're posers. Metal rules, go metallica, I have spoken.

Cool my first post on the FFR forums.

There hasn't been any music made since the early eighties which is easily classifiable as punk. Anything made recently fits into such catagories of emo, pop-punk, ska, and many others. Therefore, punk as a genre is dead. However, there are still people living the punk lifestyle as well as people imitating the punk lifestyle (ie poseurs). So, in closing, punk as genre=dead, punk as lifestyle=alive.

oh yea...

Rock on. I never really ever listen to Punk, so I don't follow it's status. Dead ot not, I couldn't care less.

I don't listen to it much either. I always have Metallica and AC/DC live and such blasting on my stereo. If anyone thinks that Blink 182 is a serious punk band, I want those people to suck my balls or listen to some better band like Led Zeppelin or Metallica.

I think you can see that I truely am A metalhead.

Sorry for the language and such. I might be apalogizing a lot. 8)

Think of it this way. Punk was dead and buried. But these new punk bands come by and dig up the coffin in which is lies, pull down their pants, and spray the rotting corpse with their hot, steamy fecal matter, hoping to breath life into an old fad. But instead, they ruin the image that once was punk. They ruin the scene, the music, the style, everything that made Punk "Punk." All ruined by these god damn teeny-twits with their 89 dollar plaid shorts full of holes and zippers and 30 dollar Ramones T-Shirt they got at the damn Hot Topic.

**lightdarkness** · 07-14-2004, 07:56 PM

Punk was never alive to begin with.

I <3 Slipknot. And the "punk" music nowadays sucks ass.

Y'know, Jewpin is right. Punk in the 80's (I think it was the 80s) was alot better, and much different then Punk now. Punk now just sucks. It's a bunch of posers trying to look like they're punk. Sort of reminds me of some child living in a two story house who tries to act like he's from the streets just because he listens to G-Unit, only punk, not rap, and these are nineteen-twenty whatever years old.
So, punk is dead, and the stuff right now is it's brother that was kept in the attic.

Punk was alive a good 20 years ago when it was real punk. Now the world is being taken over by the bassy beats of 50 Cent and the shitty pop-punk of Blink 182. I don't watch music TV channels anymore because they don't play anything that I like. In my 13 years of living, I've seen the Enter Sandman music video 3 times.

Plus, being a metalhead, all the CDs I want have already been bought so I don't have to pay shit. I only had 2 Metallica CDs, 1 was my dad's and the other I bought. Then I got the rest burned 8)

Just because what you see most of the time you don't consider punk doesn't mean there isn't punk.
Hell, that's the same case for a lot of things. Just because one "fake" band exists and is shown often in the media, does not mean another "real" band doesn't.
But punk, shmunk, funk, dunk, sunk, hunk.

Punk, Shmunk.

jewpinthethird · 07-15-2004, 03:58 PM

No, "real" punk bands just are bands without any talent.

Tasuke · 07-15-2004, 09:02 PM

What about the people that used to live
Punk back in the 80's they are (probably)
still alive and possibly living on with the
Punk way of life.
