Casualties, Rancid, Total Chaos and the majority of the "street punk" bands have lost alot of their credibility in the scene, its just a fact even if they do have some good songs. most punks see these guys as jokes or post card punks as we like to call them. Dont get me wrong, I like alot of street punk bands older albums, hell i own albums by each of the bands Ive listed and still give them a spin every now and then. I was a street punk when i was a teenager and it was a fun experiance, and i remember when it became obvious that bands like these were only feeding the stereotype of punks as nothing more than a bunch of rowdy drunks with funny hair. I like more substance in my punk. Its like comparing Sex Pistols to Crass, on one hand you have these guys that fit the punk look, and on the other hand you have the punks that want nothing to do with the look and instead focus on the matters at hand. What side do you think Casualties fall under? I think its pretty obvious.
