BTW I like the Dead Kennedys especially the debut album, the post was a guess at somebody else`s possible choice.

Everyone was just so enamored of the uniform and the archetypal image it seemed to exude that post-adolescent boys would do anything to keep their Doc Martens laced and their heads freshly shaved, and their bomber jackets on while vehemently denying the implication that they might be a racist. It went so far as the SHARP movement (SkinHeads Against Racial Predjudice) which to me was nothing more than a bunch of whiney white kids struggling to justify their own outdated image.

Firstly, anyone who bases their life on music is contrived and annoying. Punk, however, is filled with these *******s - whether it's kids with Mohawks and leather jackets (even though they lack a motorcycle) as though it's '79, or whether it's a Skinhead pretending that it's the late 60s.

Crust punks, however, are the absolute worse.

Presumably he doesn't like bands who are offensive for the sake of being punk.

Me neither.

I like a lot of the artier bands that punk and hardcore have to offer, but I'm not opposed to a band who just likes to make fast, angry, passionate music. It's when they cross the line and become about machismo and 'toughness' that it offends me. That attitude, in my opinion, has no place in the punk scene.

On that note, here are some more bands I think are awful:

edit: this may actually be the worst band to be at all associated with punk

I can't stand hatebreed. I can't believe they ever got the chance to tour with the deftones.

Personally, I prefer to think of them as hardcore, not nearly worthy enough for the punk title.

Does anyone actually call Hatebreed punk? I mean, I wouldn't really call them hardcore, either...

I remember in high school, 'I Will Be Heard' was like THE anthem for all the ~misunderstood~ kids. I never got it. I feel like every Hatebreed song sounds EXACTLY the same. Slightly different lyrical similes that all mean the exact same thing.

I saw Sick Of It All once. Their live presentation seriously made me want to die. But then I'm not a huge fan of the whole "lead singer stands on the monitor and tells everyone to GET THAT ****IN' MOSHPIT GOIN' RIGHT ****IN' NOW MOTHER****ERS" schtick.

Starting in the late 80s/early 90s I think hardcore evolved in a direction so far removed from its punk origins that it had become a distinct style of music and no longer simply a type of punk.
