punk rawk

The reason people label those "punk rawk" bands on MTV as posers, is because those bands = posers.
Punk died in the 1980s. I wish they'd stop trying to resurrect it. I've debated this over and over. Punk is dead, kids. Get over it.
Now, I bet some of you will ask, "Zack, why does this matter?". I'll tell you why this matters. It matters because the genre is dead, and now the bands who claim they are punk are NOT a part of this genre, they are a sub-genre of pop, which is why it's called "POP-Punk". It's popular to like this new "punk rawk", and quite frankly, the record execs are only making money off this new "genre" they've created.

"But these bands are REAL punks! LOLOMG!"
Sorry, kid. No, they aren't. Punk died before you were born, I'm sure.

I'm not saying that anyone shouldn't listen to this new, pro-found genre of "music", that's up to them.
I'm just saying that punk rock is dead, because it is.

Bands of this new "genre" do nothing but whine their damn heads off. This new "genre" is basically a sped up version of emo music. Oh man, do I HATE emo music. It's not for me. I don't like listening to guys who sound like they got sacked in the nutsack by a football player whining about how their girlfriends left them for the guy who works in the donut shop.
Thanks, but no thanks.

I don't mean to sound rude, but i'm tired of listening to these MTV-watching 12 year olds who think Simple Plan and Good Charlotte are the best PUNK bands ever.

These kids don't know the real punk bands, because the REAL punk bands hardly ever got any airtime on radio.

True punk bands: The Ramones, The Clash, Bad Religion, Black Flag

Posers: Blink 182, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, the list goes on...

neo punk

A neo punk is a modern punk starting in the mid to late 90s and continuing into the 2000s and is still in full swing, neo meaning new and punk being punk its basicaly saying new-punk.

Modern punk varies a bit, but real modern punkers where studded leather jackets displaying bands they listen to what scene they are from, such as NYC or East Bay, also displaying political slogans and views, such as anti racism and very leftist or liberal beliefs. Mohawks and brightly colored hair is common among neo punks especially in the band "the casualties". Other neo-punk bands include Anit-Flag, The Unseen, Time Again, and Rancid(their newer stuff anyway).

Skater Punk

A cross of the calm Rastafarianism and the more angsty Punk Rock idealism. It preaches a laid back attitude usually aided by heavy marijuana use, as well as optional Anti government attitudes. The former can sometimes outweigh the latter, however, to the point where one only cares about skating and women.

Ex: Much of the suburban east cost.

A skater punk can be identified by his long hair, ripped denim, large "skate" shoes, and almost constant use of the word, "dude."

CIRCUS PUNK

Fusion of punk rock and circus music. Usually performed in costume at traditional venues, it has recently experienced an underground transition. Heavy distortion and lack of lyrics characterize this genre's unique and ecclectic sound. While is does lack lyrics, much of the energy and emotion is translated through occasional grunts, growls and giggles. Comedic overtones and enthralling guitar licks have been the substance responsible for the explosion circus punk music.

"Black Maiden is the best circus punk band!"
"That guy may be a punk, but he ain't got the circus."
"Let's go to the circus punk club Saturday night."
"Do all circus punk lead guitarists play flying V guitars?"
