Is Punk Dead?
 

I live in Oklahoma City and there was a band here a few years ago that were the true definition of Punk. I'm talking intense destructive live shows with an after party that was 10xs as insane. It seems as if the lifestyle is gone but prove me wrong, tell me what you think!!

Punk is dead, we all killed it

What is this "punk"

Not this again, hasn't this been going on since the 70's?. Look, there's still ****loads of punk bands being made and live shows being attended, and there's still major once being made. Some of them statistically ought to have such live shoes, and many old bands probably didn't have them as well.

On top of that, there's a BUNCH of artists that play some kind of punk music but somehow don't get called punk. This happens a lot with certain punky noise rock and indie rock bands.

And once more on top of that there's artists with a punk spirit and attitude.

****'s still not dead. Niche? A bit. But not dead.

I don't think the genre can be proclaimed dead, but it certainly doesn't have any ability to shake the establishment anymore.

Not without the right bombs

Never underestimate a good case of diarrhea.

Punk's not dead.
It just sells funny.

It's very much like diarrhea in that way.

diarrhea selling funny:

Spanish bombs?


yo te acuerda!

Punk ain't dead. But it'll be there soon. I'm covered in punks blood.

Of course not, It's a state of mind.

Punk isn't dead, it's just not be marketed heavily by the industry right now.

Give it another five years and the industry will be pushing a new generation of cross-dressing teen scene bands like they did in the mid 2000s

They called that "Emo", not punk. Granted, it wasn't really Emo, but Alternative Rock.

Yeah, it definitely wasn't emo. Nor was the stuff they were calling "hardcore" at that time actually hardcore, but just easily accessible mall rock (Atreyu, Bleeding Through, From First to Last, etc)

When I think of emo, I think of a bunch of bands that had already come and gone by the time Dashboard Confessional brought the term to MTV-consciousness and then a bunch of stuff from the 90s midwest that didn't sound anything like those bands.
