Are you ready for the rebuttal? Their self-titled is 10 years old. I wouldn't consider it modern as of this day and age. That being said i do agree it is very late especially for their style, it sounds more old, maybe because thats because she was married to Tim Armstrong. Besides, there was still some good bands playing at beginning of them millennium, most spilling over from the early years. I guess what i'm trying to say in a wordy way that would make Mary Shelley seem short, sweet, and to the point is that it doesn't matter when the band came out, its what style they cling too.

That's exactly why I would describe them as "modern".

In a way, the Offspring was one of the bands that got me interested in all music. My dad and I use to listen to the Offspring when I was little around six or seven (lol) so once I was a little older I got into Green Day (eh.). After listening to American Idiot a thousand times and realizing "Man, there has to be much better music out there." I was around twelve at this time and I searched for more and more bands, thus starting my musical addiction. I got into Metal first, but once I found Metal I started getting into bands like Black Flag because Hardcore was what everyone suggested I listened to being a Metal fan.

So, I guess, The Offspring, Green Day, and Black Flag. haha.

*Green Day being Punk is subjective, yes, but they did have strong influence on my listening to Punk so I added them anyway.

My tastes have changed since I first got into Punk, yeah. I now listen to literally a little of everything in the Punk genre, and by many many more bands obviously. Its most Hardcore and Crust for me now, but still.

10 years isn't really modern. Thats a long feckin time ago, I hardly remember it. Modern for me is like last 3 years, and they don't sound modern.

10 years is modern? Cheers, now I feel REALLY ancient! I'd consider that pretty recent too, old punk is first wave, everything else in new...

Punk for me started with Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Damned, The Clash and the like. Still not heard anyone to compete with The Clash for actually understanding how music could be used to inform and politicise.

I'm sure I'm not the only person to say this, but for me it was Bad Brains.

Tim Armstrong is a douchebag of highest order, Brody was/is much more talented than he is, and he wasn't the reason for her sound. You'd know that if you knew your ****, Sourpuss, her first band sounds pretty much like the Distillers, and that was before she even met Tim. Also, it IS modern, the Distillers were a MODERN punk band in the same way that most of the Hellcat bands were and while they released the s/t in 2000, Sing Sing Death House in 2002, and the last, Coral Fang, in 2003, they were still technically around in 2006, which is four years ago, since they didn't make it a public breakup.

Good Charlotte, Green Day, Sum 41, and Blink 182. Those are the bands that got me into punk. They great!

I want to lie and rattle off the name of an obscure 80's Hardcore group, but I can't. Honestly, not unlike Charliecurlyfry, I got hooked on punk by first listening to early emo (Weezer and The Get Up Kids spring to mind) and pop punk (NOFX and Lagwagon to name a couple). Eventually, by virtue of my growing interest in the genre, I went back and did my homework, but as a kid I was at all the pop punk shows--One of my first shows was Weezer, Jimmyeatworld, and Blink 182.

I wonder who would win in a fight--the fourteen-year-old version of myself who was listening to "Pinkerton" or the sixteen-year-old version of myself who was listening to "Kick Out the Jams"? Answer: They're both pussies, so it doesn't matter.
