A lot of punk sucked ass. Probably most if it, actually. But when it worked it was great. At least for a time.

The best punk ever was the pre-punk 60s garage rock. A lot of it sucked, too, but that's the nature of music.

These ladies...OK, I give them credit for effort and copying stuff that isn't as shitty as most popular modern music. They're aren't bad. I don't think I would ever obsess over their catalog, but hey, you never know. I get on some weird kicks sometimes.

Punk rock to me when I played it was more about the attitude. Also it’s remarkable when a band has a 3 chord riff that carries a entire song. It made me feel as a guitar player “hey I can do this head bang and maybe get a message across”. But I love all music and can find good in all of it even Jojo siwa that my daughter and I listen to constantly. The dead Kennedy’s were a great band and one of the first punk bands I heard and I was fucking hooked!

Bogey, I think you're the only one in this thread who gets punk.

Punk isnt about attitude or rebellion, though a lot of punk bands have done that. Punk is 3 chords and the truth.

Linda Linda's are adolescent girls writing about their cats, friends, and experiences at school / not being at school and putting it to fun simple riffs people can get into. Thats punk as fuck.

Buck - with all due respect I think the point of punk was for dudes like you to hate it.

Dudes like me, also known as people who like real music, from blues to jazz to R&B to rock ‘n’ roll to progressive and so on. From world music to classical. I’m not a musician. Punk is the only musical form I’m qualified to perform. Tell me why that’s a positive endorsement of the genre.

like every crotchety white guy rapping about... putting bologna in his macaroni to illustrate that hip hop takes no skill, I guarantee that your punk music would suck even to those who appreciate the genre

 

I think I would have liked the Sex Pistols had I lived through that time but I didn't and I don't particularly. The Ramones are fun and the Clash are fucking great.

 

These guys are fun. I'm not super into their music and think the social media blowup is maybe a bit out of proportion with just how cool they are, but they are fun and awesome. The singer understands that a singer in a rock band is well served to understand it as a "performance" first (and is literally never a demonstration of technical vocal ability first). Rock on girls.

All of this.

In sum I'm stoked to see 1) young people expressing themselves in a rawk format; 2) having fun doing it; and 3) sharing that fun with the rest of us.

The rest is just so much...noise.
