As a new poster here I think the site is great. Their aren't many websites out there that you can truly "talk" music with people that have tastes as broad as the members here. I have already been turned on to some great music by some of the senior members here!

i will stand up and take half the blame for this site going down hill.. haha :p:
and your all talking about how there's to much fighting going on here.. well thats where the action is. if everyone stopped doing that this place would pretty well be dead because all of the fights gets everyone in motion and then everyones posting and more people seem interested and come back more offten to see whats on the go.. then post some more.. when it comes to who's a good poster or not, it doesn't matter because everyone who post other then myself and MURDER JUNKIE (know most of post are pointless and we just wish we could talk about porn haha jk) think there post are worth reading and think they all have good opinions on things or they wouldn't post.. NOBODY GETS ME me so funny! haha sense i've joined this site back in dec 05 its been slowing down a lot here and i make less and less post, but i still come here about 100 times a day and chect in on things.. there's just nothing much going on here anymore. i find it really strange that there are so many members to this site yet there only seems to be a steady 25 posters give or take.. i don't mind it cause i'm used to everyone here like when i was in school i would get used to the people in my class and it would just seem strange without so and so.. well its just like that here... wether i like you or not it would be strange without some of you.. its true and i know a lot of you see it that way as well.. i mean if bill left so would a lot of the entertainment.. get my point? |

Most likely, yes.

If that were out of the way then we'd have friendly arguements :) |

If everyone comes to grips with that then it'd hopefully solve the problem of these silly debates. |
Punk can be a loose term, just because a band isnt really anti establishment or whatever or because they're very popular, it dosent make them not punk, the fact of the matter is, Green Days songs follow the standard punk rock format.
Nasally, smirky vocals? Check. Substandard rhythm section? Check. Very distorted, downtuned guitars? Check. Simple 3 and 4 chord riffs? Check. Lyrics that have elements of nihilism, anti-social sentiments and social satire? Check. Catchy verse/chrous/verse style pop songs? Check. Sounds punk to me. |

Don't forget about how punk can be more arty e.g Joy Division. Bands like Greenday revitalised punk, changing it, hence why there is now the term punk-pop. |
You know, I have read in this thread, more than once, that there aren't any 'new posters'.
When a new poster arrives, he/she is promptly held down and beaten. I don't know if it's some sort of gang mentality or what, but I have seen it several times. A new poster starts a thread, and instead of getting: " We already discussed this topic, here is the link. Have a read, and add your opinions. And welcome." They get: "You f^ckin' retard newbie, if you would use your G.D. brain, blah blah blah..", followed by a handful of other posters, jumping in and taking their shot. Is it any wonder we don't have any new posters? After a first impression like that? The only ones who stay are the ones who are just as rude as the people who were rude to them. It doesn't cost anything to be tolerant, or have a little patience with someone less experienced. |
If you can't take jokes or insults you shouldn't be posting on a forum where you're obviously going to come across many different types of personalities.
|
That's fair enough, I suppose. I'm simply saying, if the first thing a person encounters is being attacked when they show up here, more than likely, they're not going to come back.
I personally don't think insulting people is a constructive way to spend my time, so I don't do it. I don't judge others, because I don't walk in their shoes. I certainly would never attack anyone I never met. |

Pop punk has punk it its title for a reason, its a certain type of punk, in other words, pop punk is punk, dumbass. |
Ramones didn't revitalise rock and were never about being poppy. Of course punk-pop is related to punk. Heavy Metal is related to Death Metal, do you think they're the same?
punk-pop ≠ punk. |

Their music is practically pop with loud distorted guitars....Johnny and Joey were pop enthusiasts. Quote:

It would be nice if almost every single thread didn`t end up with either a genre arguement or Don & Boo Boo going at it yet again.
Or in this case both. |

Especially as we have a forum in the shape of the song of the week forum that is never used anyway & has never been used in the year & a half i`ve been here. |

so how about we change the name of the song of the week forum to album reviews?...of course it wouldnt be genre specific because who wants another 15 sub forums so it would basically be like a very unorganized record collection, i still dont see the problem with reviewing records in an already existing forum..if people cant behave themselves on those, i doubt they would anywhere. |

Your sentence structure was atrocious, your argument was laughable, and your arrogance rivals my own. I wonder sir what degrees you actually have and what institution gave them to you. Let’s just take that first sentence out behind the wood shed for a moment. They aren't subjective? Perhaps if someone better versed in punk than I listed 30 bands you would be able to accurately decide whether or not they were punk or "other." And unless they were obnoxiously obscure, you ought to know them since you prance around this thread with the air of consummate punk fan. Instead, how about you list us the definitive criteria for a punk band. |
They have to do something different and be original. If that fails they have to have a mohawk and sing anarchy.

I'd just like to say that if Don does reply to this I'm going to laugh my ass off. I can already guess what B.S. he is going to pull out of his ass. |

You aren't educated in music well enough to call me the "dumbest person" on here. You couldn't even come up with a rebuttal to my reply in the DT thread. And yet you said my "argument was laughable?" That's sorta funny, seeing as though I wasn't even arguing. It would help for you to actually know what one was before you make outrageous claims mocking my intelligence. Regarding a “definitive criteria” for punk (or any other rock style for that matter), I believe boo boo summed it up well, but this wasn't the point of my post. I was merely pointing out that such things are pointless to argue when everyone definitions of a particular concept differ. You didn't even understand my post yet you said my “argument was laughable.” You know what's laughable...? roflol |

I think people if you are bored of this site, then leave or make it interesting instead of telling others to. Music banter is what you make it. You have to work together. Oh and lets face it, some people are arrogant, and I think it's good, brings a little excitement into the place. |
Long time, no see:)

Hey honey, how have things been going with you? :D
