actually, that is the worst fucking part! It sucks that Nirvana did the same thing for all of the crappy post-grunge bands from Blink 182 up unto Fall Out Boy.... god it is terrible, and the ignorance of all these youth makes it even more sick. but they are incurable, but as Peter Tosh sang, "you can't blaim the youth when they go wrong... and you can't fool them" once I was eating mushrooms with this dude across the street from me, and at the time he was dating this like 15 year old chick (we were 21) which aside from being creepy enough, he had 'fake' dreads and I had 'real' dreads, he was some dude, I was ras and he was not, and so around 4 something in the morning his young girlfriend says, I want to get dreads too, so he proceeds to get out a dog comb and some rubber bands, well I was a disgusted as an acoustic bluegrass purist at an eurotrash electronica festival, so I without much convincing, cut off all of this girls hair, and sit there watching him natt up her hair with a towel while smoking cigarettes until the sun came up... the next day she combed out all of the knots, but at the same time began to promote the "authentic" dread method so to speak, and within months all of these kids were running around looking like gutter punks with real natty dreads, but they knew NOTHING of ras or dread culture, and to boot, were checking and punking other kids who had "fake" dreads.... the whole thing was rather hilarious to myself, and so the point is, kids will always miss the point. only a few bright young souls will ever get it, but I suppose that is same with everyone, adults, elderly and my fellow Americans included... |
What a load of self-righteous, pious and convoluted bullshit that post was. Very well done.

Punk was a term coined after the stooges...there you go. punk wasn't even a genre of music when the stooges were around, so why go back in time trying to label them something they were never to begin with? people have their ideas of punk. me, i grew up in skating and hardcore, so for people who never were really into hardcore, punk or skating, their ideas of punk seem to be more homogenized. |

crass was one of the better uk bands for sure. i thought the sex pistols were a bit overrated. they had some good songs but some really boring songs too. ramones came out earlier and had much more intensity and energy. sex pistols music really was just rock 'n roll. i guess i always got the feeling steve jones tried too hard to be thunders, which always irks me when i hear the pistols. influence is important but ripping off is quite another. |
la la la
there's nothing wrong with the sex pistols if you forget the "politics" of it. forget the image, forget mclaren, yeah yeah yeah all that bullshit, whatever, just LISTEN to it for fucks sake and if you dont like it SHUT UP |
Lily. Now now. Don't be rude.

your point being? |

Suicide were the first band that I've thought of when I read that question. Also, somehow, early-Jesus and Mary Chain. Not that the term punk isn't mentioned when people write about them, but you get the impression that they aren't considered a punk band as such. |
ive always thought of them as punk.

Quote:
I guess they were a bit late on the scene. But they were a breath of fresh air in 1984/5. |
I always thought of jesus and mary chain as soft ass wussy proto-shoegaze, not punk by any means.
|
If one band had the 'fuck you' attitude of the best punk rock, it was them. At least when they first started.
|
I will take yr word for it.
I have never been a big fan. |
And before them.......and after them.....

Fuck off. You don't even know what you're saying. |

Maybe in the US, I dunno. But in the UK in the mid-80s the JAMC, as Sarramkrop says, were definitely something very fresh. The problem as to whether they could be considered punk has more to do with the time they emerged than anything else. Either way, they were definitely more 'punk' than a band like The Stranglers, that's for sure. |

There is no argument. You're too occupied by chasing your damn tail for this to ever eventuate into something more. You never see another point of view, or see how contradictory you're being. You just say "Yeah, but I'm Sway! Therefore I am right". Without ever opening the screen door of your... I can't think of a brand of caravan. |

This is a very good point. I vehemently disagree on a series of points with Mr J above, but he's not running around playing the passive/aggresive game and thus is not, immediately, a prick. Of course, he's posting on a messageboard, so must be an execrable nonce, but that's hardly anything like a decent insult herewise. |
