I cant stand Cash.

Come on man, JC rules! His music is so melancholy and depressing! I love it!

Whenever you are feeling depressed, just throw on some Cash, or some Swans....

PS - I can't stand ska... ...and pop "punk" just ain't punk. Pop maybe, but in no way is it punk.

[JHarris1385]

My opinion on JC is slightly skewd but that is only becuase I heard one of his cd's over and over and over while driving to vacation one time in my past. I think its purely annoying.

...Yeah alot do not like ska and I only like the bands that hint on the punk side (Less than Jake mainly). Punk in my terms is doing what you will at anytime with no restrictions (going against the flow). If a band plays punk themed chords but comes across as on a pop note they are doing what they want. My mind changed a couple years back about pop-punk when I read an article debating calling it punk at all. If I can locate it im sure it will show the light at the of the tunnel a little clearer.

Yeah, I guess for me punk vs pop punk is the style of the music itself, not just how the band rebels or goes against the mainstream. I mean, to me, there is a "punk sound" for sure. I'm just old school I guess. There is nothing like some good, polictical, aggressive punk to get your blood pumping.

I think I once read an interview with Green Day about how they never considered themselves "punk". It was a label they just somehow acquired. Its funny, I love stories like that. Its just like The Sisters of Mercy. I read somewhere once that they never intended to be a "goth band". But as it turns out, they are like one of the most notable goth bands in history.

Funny how genre labels really mean nothing.

I used to like Green Day back in the Dookie days and maybe a little Nimrod too, now they too annoy me.
Im guessing punk to you is anti-flag sound?

[nfpgasmask]

Fav punk bands:

Misfits
Minor Threat
Dead Kennedys
D.I.
The Vandals
Reagan Youth
Ramones
Subhumans
7 Seconds

But for me, my heart is 100% with mid/late 80s, early 90s industrial. This is the era of music I cannot live without. Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Ministry, REVCO, TKK, KMFDM, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and all the various side projects and spin offs of these bands....I'll never get sick of.

Some may have considered Frank Zappa a genius....he certainly wasn't boring.

I didnt know anyone still used Limewire.

Fer serious, I haven't heard of anyone using that in ages. Last time I was on there it was nothing but viruses and spyware...

Old enough to have seen all the acts listed (first live music was Hendrix, and I was trippin) but I was raised by wolves, and on my own pretty young:grinr:

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I figured you were old, crusty and ancient! LOL, jk. You just threw me off with your video game thread, cause gaming is typically a sign of youth, or relative youth at least (i'm getting old and crusty myself...well, I've always been crusty).
