NO WAY DON'T BE COMING IN HERE AND TELLING US AMERICANS THAT THOSE ARE THE BEST PUNK BANDS!!!!

GREEN DAY AND BLINK-182 AND AVRIL LAVIGNE AND G-UNIT AND D-12 ARE THE BEST PUNK BANDS!!!!

GET OUTTA DA GODDAMN FORUM!!!!!!

^ i actually started laughing out loud at that, that was awesome.

devalara, are the stranglers really in the punk genre? they certainly have a unique sound, but im not sure what genre they fit into...anyone know?

I'd say the Stranglers would probably fit in with the punk movement. The Jam wouldn't though. Bunch of mods if ever I saw them.

Boooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys alll suck. thoses arent punk bands. Cheap sex, The exploited, Casulities, A Global threat, ect thoses are punk bands

um...they are punk bands....just...different ones...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Don't even try to make a come back colt45

I'd query Bloc Party being punk. They're a great band but I don't really see much of the punky anger in their music, it's far more celebratory than angry.

The Clash are the benchmark though. Most important punk band ever.

yeah that was so funny...

EDIT: oh i thought you were talking to me...

you guys dont knwo a ****ing thing. You guys call like greenday punk. NO that is POP punk. just like sum41 and link182 there all crap. now im not aruging with you about weather the ramones,sex pistols, and the clash werent punk but punk bands now a days and in my opinion are better then the old ones are
CHeap sex
a global threat
The exploited
the casulities
ect

naw i got 'bitched' at for calling greenday pop/rock we don't all think they're punk ;)

green day is fine, but they are not punk. but i understand why the youngones think they are. when you look at all the music played on mtv/radio, green day is certainly as punk as it will get. same with blink. bands like casualties and the exploited just look like dirty words to them.

^its kind of sad... :(

Good Charlotte!!!!!!!!! Greenday!!!!!!!!!!!! Avril Lavigne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you became so close to being the first person that i banned for listing those bands as punk.

^ i'm pretty sure the blink, green day, avril lavigne thing was sarcasm. or at least I hope to god it was....

best punk bands are.....
 

the casualties, dead kennedys, sex pistols

Black Flag, Social Distortion, Mudhoney, The Germs, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Buzz****s, Iggy Pop and the Stooges

thats in no particular order

good charlotte ****ing sucks

wow! well i dont care if you guys think these bands are ****ing punk or not cause i dont give a **** and im sure they dont either. good charlotte, green day, mest, rancid, simpl plan, minor threat, social d, sex pistols, the clash, evanesece (or however the **** you spell it) but i know 1 thing forsure, avril ****ing lavigne is not ****in' punk. shes the bigest poser and sellout i have ever seen besides crazytown!!!! shes a bitch who thinks shes all that. well sorry bout all that.
~ peace ~

thats nice, I think Avril Lavigne is very talented, and she happens to be one of my favorite Artists.

~Sk8er Boi~

YEA!!! AND **** ****ING ****ITY ****ING **** **** ASS DAMN ****ING ****Y **** ****ER! HRADCORE PUNK ANARCHY FOREVER!!!1!1

^ :rofl:

nice

ramones social distoration generation x sex pistols rancid some of the clash . The dammed are good to me more gothic rock. A.L. I agree she's a posure and I would consider regular pop/rock light rock that is. She may have some talent but not a punker just cause she dresses in black and looks kinda dark in style and sounds angry in some songs. Punk is a rage and statement and anarchy & not giving in and just letting loose. Green day is good because their music is catchy sounding but I think they are more alternative rock/pop sounding to soft for true punk but then again I think placing artist sounds in genres is not always good. Being creative is a personal things and all style can be good at times. Not to sound hypocritically but its more like one person likes is not anothers. :shycouch:

^ sorry but i really dislike people who try and define punk as being anything besides just music. i would like to think that punk is not just about rage and anarchy. but, at the same time, i would also like to think that rap is not always about guns, bitches, and 22 inch rims- though on the outside, it appears that way.

yeah punk isn't AnArChy!12@!!

thats just what the new 'hardcore' hot topic punks think.
