What band got you into punk and what was the first punk band you liked?
>>65359914
green day
ive yet to hear anyone better in 'punk'
what a horrendous genre
>>65359957
Green day is about as far from punk as you can get. If your whining about the lack of technical ability go listen to nomeansno's album wrong
>>65359914
Bad Brains.
I heard Banned in DC in some Tony Hawk game or something, and thought it was awesome
>>65360045
no, if it doesn't have melodies, it's just 'raw' garbage. green day is more interesting as pop music than any band is as punk music. black flag, minor threat, bad brains, all of it is absolute shite for 16 year olds and man children
go listen to post punk instead
>>65359914
The Sex Pistols were the first punk band I got into. Nowadays I mainly listen to stuff like post-punk but I'll always have a soft spot for first wave punk rock.
>>65359957
What horrible taste. There are countless punk bands that are better than that middle school
>>65360162
>middle school
trash.
>>65359957
Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, Buzzcocks, The Damned, The Stooges, the list goes on and on and on.
>>65360152
There's tons of melodic punk. Green Day is shite for 12 year olds.
ITT: People who don't recognize the genius of American Idiot as a deconstruction of the punk genre both lyrically and musically. "It's trash because teens liked it!" nope.jpg
>>65360517
Bullshit, it's pretentious rock opera trash and the core message of the album is "FUCK BUSH!"
i don't remember. IIRC I got into Descendents, Misfits, Agent Orange, and a bunch of other shit around the sane time from a variety of sources
current favs are NASA Space Universe, Jeromes Dream, Iceage, Wipers, and Mayyors.
Fear
Everybody needs to believe in something, i believe i'll have another beer and such
>>65360152
>punk
>no melodies
>post-punk
>melodies
lol
>>65360517
ITT: People who have deluded themselves into thinking American Idiot is genius because they loved it when they were in high school.
>>65359914
Ramones, i listened to their all their albums on daily basis when i was a teen.
Also whatever was on Tony Hawk games.
my mum showed me black flag back in middle school, so they were my first.
>>65360538
Only a few songs are remotely political
Yes, it's a concept album but the point is it takes a stereotypical dumbass rebellious teenager and shows how fucking stupid he is. it points out the stupidity of the subculture while simultaneously marketing to it.
Nirvana got me into it
DK were my first favourites, saw NOFX and Lagwagon last summer so good especially because I live somewhere with literally 1 good show a year.
>>65360152
>says raw music is shit
>recommends post-punk
You aren't making any sense, senpai. Your average post-punk album is less melodic than your average punk rock album.
Heard Ramones on THPS3
>>65359914
Descendents
Used to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 all the time as a kid and it had "I Like Food" in the soundtrack and It was my favorite song ever back then
I had a roommate that said he was really into punk. The singers in his music sounded like they were out of highschool musical. Then it turned out he only liked emo and "hated" pop punk.
had a phase where i listened to nothing but london calling and NMTBITSP when i was like 14
>>65360677
I can assure you there are plenty if good shows where you are, you just don't know about modern punk/DIY culture
dead kennedys
>>65360720
I had a phase where I listened to nothing but the Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Clash.
>>65360740
>>65360740
>>65360740
Were the girls hot? Do you have pics?
>>65360805
No / No
>>65360757
I had a phase where I was really patrician, now I only listen to [your favorite bands].
>>65360517
>a deconstruction of the punk genre both lyrically and musically
Some of the songs are generic pop punk and some songs have more instrumentation than your average pop punk song. If you seriously think that's a "deconstruction" of punk rock then you're retarded.
>>65360983
Damn...
Punk is the only type of music edgier than metal :(
>>65361094
But black metal is edgier than any form of punk rock. I don't think any punk musicians have ever killed people or burned down churches.
>:(
Why are you frowning?
>>65361157
The singer from gang killed his girlfriend and sid vicious killed his girlfriend
>>65359914
first punk band i got heavily into was from ashes rise
but i think what got me into punk was probably green day
who /ceremony/ here?
>>65361204
>The singer from gang killed his girlfriend
Who?
>sid vicious killed his girlfriend
The jury is out on that, senpai. There is a ton of speculation that Nancy was killed by some drug dealer.
>>65361218
all of those bands are bad
>>65360092
Proving Ground, I remember the same thing happened to me. I played that game a ton and the song pumped me up
>>65361228
Sammy town from fang. Kurt Cobain was a fan of fang
>>65360990
I was talking conceptually and lyrically but anyway,
There are maybe two "pop punk" songs on there, the rest is alt rock or actual punk (American Idiot is more of a punk song than anything the Ramones did)
not sure why Green Day is always lumped with actual trash like blink, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte, they're way closer to "real" punk and The Who
>>65361228
you still have to admit though, Vicious was a total cunt
>>65361353
Your delusional. The ramones were punk. And who in the fuck calls the who punk?
>>65361353

>>65361412
He was a dumb cunt but I don't think he was a murderous one. He was just a drugged up idiot who jumped on the punk bandwagon because he wanted attention.
>>65361484
Ya he's was an attention whore
>>65360677
>Nirvana got me into it
Yeah this.
>>65359914
Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown EP
Honestly this should be anyone's intro to punk. The fact that the whole EP was just five minutes and how to the point it was really stuck with me.
And for fucks sake stop feeding the Green Day guy. He's pulled this shit before. You guys end up looking new and retarded when you fall for that shit.
>>65361543
That's pretty common. Nirvana is choice
>>65361353
>actual punk
Bull fucking shit, every song on American Idiot is overly polished rubbish.
>American Idiot is more of a punk song than anything the Ramones did
The Ramones always had a pop sensibility but their early material was pretty raw.
>>65361611
God that ep is fucking great.
>>65359914
Was introduced to the genre through Green Day, but later on when my taste got less shit, I really got into punk through Black Flag and Misfits.
>>65361412
who cares the sex pistols blow ass
WAVVES
>>65361945
never said they didn't, ya cheeky cunt
>>65361353
kek holy shit m8, I hope you don't actually vocalize these opinions IRL with people around to hear you
>>65359914
The Sex Pistols
>>65361418
You tellin' me The Who weren't a punk band? You don't know what the fuck punk is. Even The Sex Pistols covered Substitute.
>>65362310
That doesn't mean they were a fucking punk band. Proto punk at best
>>65362505
Nah. Let's face it, The Who were punk as fuck.
GUILTY OF BEING WHITE
First punk band I really got into was the casualties, but since then I've drifted into more Oi and hardcore stuff, my favorite band as of now has to be Bound for Glory.
Red Hot Chili Peppers played a Fugazi song at their Live at Slane Castle show, so i checked them out and got really into Fugazi
you can imagine my disappointment when i started listening to any other punk. i started with the best
more like what movie got you into punk
the answer is this movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsK8fHPjav0
>>65361615
>their early material was pretty raw
you mean their debut album or shit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AO9-HWiYT4
Void
>>65360152
>>65359957
listen to this you fag
Fucked Up and Titus Andronicus are some more recent faves. I used to be really into riot grrrl. Pic related is good too, if you can handle feminist punk.
probably da quincy punx
>>65363564
That album is underapreciated. It's fucking great
>>65363207
what's the deal with these guys? was the only official recording they ever did that split with faith?
>>65363732
yeah more or less, and then some stuff got released later from old recordings
>>65363705
underapreciated? it's a great album and every time i see anyone talk about it it's always in a positive light
>>65363732
Ya other than an ep
>>65363792
It's not as popular as like the dead kennedys or black flag and it should be
>>65363762
that's a bummer. they fucking slayed on that split. listening to the comp you posted, but i'm not digging it nearly as much. i can tell it was recorded before they grew into their full potential
Sex Pistols- Anarchy in the UK on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, I was in the 4th or 5th grade, sparked my interest in music desu
>>65361218
>who /ceremony/ here?
i feel you senpai. i live in rohnert park and that's actually how i found out about them. it's not like they're doing anything new or exciting, but they're really good at emulating the hardcore and post-punk sound
The Clash.
I still love them, and would say they are the only truly great band to emerge from a punk background. They became great though because they embraced other genres starting from London Calling. As good as their debut was, if they had remained stuck in that same sound forever they wouldn't have had half the legacy they now have, and we would be without some superb albums.
Punk "purists" will probably contest that they are a punk band, but I maintain that they always were. I find message and attitude to be more important than conforming to the so-called "punk sound". Isn't punk meant to be a rejection of conformity? The Clash probably lost touch of their punk attitude with Combat Rock's commercial success and when they started playing stadiums, but that is what led to their collapse and eventual breakup. They quit before they could sell out, so to speak. Or at least Strummer did.
>>65363705
not really. it, like most of the socal shit in a similar vein, has aged insanely poorly. it's really childish (in no endearing manner) and boring.
Millions of Dead Cops.
>>65360762
Has anyone watched Into The Night, with Henry Rollins?
Because that guy has fucking asperger's.
>>65363839
the unreleased LP was recorded after the split and sucks ass.
>>65364006
they were a kinda decent powerviolence band at first but their garage rock and joy division albums suck
>>65364850
listen to more music you autist
