What the hell happened to punk music?
 

Please note:i'm talking about bands that play themselves off as punk to sell records, but the occasional punk music that has a reason to be.
I was shuffing through "nevermind the bollocks..."today, along with "give em enough rop" and was suprised that the drumming was good
With did punk drummers decided that the would stop playing hard and would stop playing hard and would rather play like they have snare-torettes?
Ps.(if you don't what any of the references are to, please don't bother responding to the thread)

What are you talking about?

Lol what's the weather like up there on your horse?
Great things happened to punk music. Post punk, riot grrrl, what have you

The poor grammar and sentence structure made me think this person was from another country but then I saw "Virginia" as the location and all made sense.

For real, if you think Sex Pistols are a good band you have nothing to say about anything.

Go **** yourself for several reasons.

The Sex Pistols are a trash band with legendary charisma and moxy. Their a story not a band. Also, I only pronounce "Virginia" as "Vergina" irl...

**** your ethnicky jazz and five grand stereo.

Dafuq? They were musically tight as lesbian vagina

For real my setup is like $500. I have Klipsch powered bookshelf speakers like a bitch. Nice Technics turntable though.

Nevermind the Bollocks for me is a 2.5 on RYM. Total f*cking bleh.

Nevermind the Exo.

Omg cash me ousside

You’re lost, son.

I'll fight all of you.

A nut sack should never pick fights.

I went to see them play live when they did their 1996 reunion tour. I thought they were surprisingly tight in a live setting. I went to the show expecting them to be rather sloppy but they were just the opposite.

The Pistols were definitely a fascinating phenomenon, and McClaren a fascinating fellow. No matter your opinion on them I think we can all agree that they were in a way one hell of a—successful—social experiment of a band.

At least 50% of everything anybody says about Sex Pistols is true but it doesn't matter cause they were the ultimate right place right time band to be legendary and supremely important.

You are right, though. It really was the perfect storm.

Neither groups were necessarily "put together" by them; they were more like collaborators, using each other's work to promote each other's work. The Pistols, on the other hand, are more intertwined with McClaren than the VU were with Warhol thanks to the Pistols' short time span of existence and the sheer emphasis placed on the fashion, the commodification of the punk aesthetic.

And I wouldn't say that making headline news, topping the charts, and making coin was a failed experiment.

Yeah, PIL had some good stuff. Seeing the poster boy of punk rock get more experimental and weird would've been interesting to witness in real time
