Folk Punk

A musical revelation that began on November 27th, 2012. It is widely attributed to the band Modern Baseball but that implies any band since them have been able to capture the same spirit of Folk Punk they were able to on their first try. Many ersatz attempts followed in their wake and, while it will never be achieved to such a pure degree again, their sound still reverberates through the movement.
Mathew Uychich: "I want people to understand how we've wrapped all our angst into a hatred of New Jersey and a love of weed but I can't afford the copay for therapy." Brian Sella (takes off headphones with tears in his eyes and an obvious erection): "What if we tried playing folk punk music, as popularized/invented/destined by the band Modern Baseball?" Mathew Uychich (even more erect than Brian Sella): "We're going to have to even though we'll never achieve their melodic, emotional honesty and pure sexual charisma." Both start singing: "New Jersey is only the right size in my rearview mirror and also weed is rad."

pop-punk

A really shitty music genre that's still going strong in the 2000s. It was good in the 90s but bands like bad charlette,simple plan and new found glory had to ruin it. Its just pop-rock. The second wave of this crap is boys like girls,all time low, and we the kings. To play this music the lead singer has sound like a 5 year old boy, the guitars have to be very lite, isen't that cute?
Teen: How do I start a pop-punk band. Indie rocker: oh just ripoff blink-182. You'll make it big man. Teen: okay cool!!

punk republican

An oxymoron. YOU CANT BE A CONSERVATIVE PUNK. Punk is about freedom, free expression, rebellion, and LIBERALISM. Not the pussified liberalism that was started by republicans in order to cast a bad light on us; the REAL liberalism, meaning that we put the right of people above all else.
Heywood Jablomi: Hey did you hear about Mike Hunt? He's a punk republican.

Mike Oxlong: Shut up dumb-ass, thats not fucking possible.

punk music

MCR = Punk AND Emo
Old Greenday = Punk

Avril Lavigne = NOT PUNK!

I AM a punk. Yeah, I'm sitting here telling you this because I feel like it. This is our music. You outsiders who're trying to tell us what we are can go **** yourselves.

Listening to our music doesn't MAKE you a punk. It just supports it. It's mostly about the music. It's not All about the music. It's not all about the appearance.
Punk isn't just a look. Its a state of mind.

Fake Punk: I listen to punk music, so I'm like a punk now!
Real Punk: NO.
Fake Punk: Prove it!
Real Punk: Can you touch your elbow to your nose?
Fake Punk: Yeah! *does it* so I'm a punk now?
Real Punk: No, you're double-jointed.

emo-punk

the medium between pop music and hardcore rock. for the little ppl who haven't yet developed into real rockers. Haven't u heavy-metaler's realised that u went thru the emo-punk stage before u became hardcore?? tis the beginning...yes the lyrics are very "emo-tioally charged" and the music is pussy-weak but it's in the middle of pop and rock. it's the transferal stage.
eg.1: i still have my Britney cd's but i found a new band called Good Charlotte that i like now.
this leads to moving to similar bands such as taking back sunday, simple plan etc... then u move to ur metallica, eighteen visions etc..

pop punk

Pussy sellout punk imitators, who stole half the clothing style and made crappy music and called it "punk". Nothing but whiny wannabe hypocrite weaklings, most of which with no music talent. See poser.
Pop-punk such as Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne, and Sum41, all suck very much.
