Green Day is my favorite band! I don't know if any of you consider them punk but I also like The Offspring. :)
:band:

btw, i don't consider green day punk......i dont consider the offspring punk either........over all i don't use the word punk much because the media twists its meaning......and the kids at school.......

maan

ashanti
50 cent
bach
ashlee simpson
the bee gees
and led zepplin

wooorrd so punk rock

50 cent aint punk rock actually none of them r punk rock

I smell sarcasm. :yikes:

yes, very good.

if you didnt notice it was sarcasm, and i layed it on pretty damn thick.

almost none of the bands anyone said were punk. so i thought id add to it.

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.

I like quite a few Millencolin songs (mystic Reptile, In a room, Nosepicker), I love NOFX, I also love Strung Out. Some other bands i like are Rancid, Lagwagon, SOME Rufio (xept the vocals which can get annoying at times).... I also like a lot of older bands like Anti-flag etc., it's just that most of the time, I wanna hear something fast, to get the blood pumping, u know, mosh pit action LOL. That's what i like about NOFX, If u buy a cd like say, White trash, two heebs and a bean, you get ska, fast punk, slower punk, like a song for every "mood". Just my opinion, or uhm, something.

if you like fast music, then why are you listening to those bands? to be honest i had my stage of rufio and lagwagon, many years ago. but that was when double plaidnum was a new cd...aka, a long time ago.
if you like fast stuff then get into bands like thrice and atdi-relationship of command album. theres heaps more stuff out there. a lot of better stuff too, if you dont mind me saying

I don't mind, thnx for your reply.
Yeah i know there are faster bands and stuff, but i like Strung Out and Bigwig for example, because they take all the best parts of metal, and combine it with the best parts of punk (ok my opinion)hehe.. and i like the zeke song "evil dead", basically fast stuff with sick solos, but the thing is i prefer the way the bands i listed sing over the hardcore/speedmetal type of singing. Anyways, which other bands can u recommend to me?
