id first like to say something. somebody mentioned earlier in this thread that they "dont know punk because i live in australia". to you, i would like to say....YOU ARE A ****ING IDIOT. i live in australia also. the radios and channel v and rage and that that bull**** dont know punk, they dont play punk. the vines, greenday, whitestripes, blink....all these bands get air time in aus. and they are attempting to portray themselves as a genre they have no idea about. the presenters think they know a bit about music. the guys on channel v do, but the radio guys are ****s. i hate the radio. if any of you guys visit aus, listen and youll see what i mean. iamalejo and david frost, to me while reading this thread, appear to be the only ones with a distinct knowledge on this topic. no offense to anybody else, but these guys do know what they are talking about, and everyband they have mentioned that iv known, i have at least liked, and if i didnt know them then id check them out. somebody was also bitching about the punk princesses. who gives a **** what these young girls wear and want to think? get over it. the punk movement is dead. what we are shown is the standardised musical "skills" and to-cool-to-care presona's of bands mentioned at the start of this thread, and a large number during it. i do not mean to offend the other contributors to this thread. a few good bands were mentioned. a few great bands were mentioned. the main thing that ****ted the **** out of me was that aussie chick saying that crap. punk is here. there is a very strong punk scene in every state. it is just not expressed to the masses via the demeaning popularised forums...such as commercial radio.
