Yeah they did that at Punk Rocks. Getting their Cold Play on.

Were there any punk bands there? Like REAL punk bands?

ya, i was wondering when The Offspring was considered Punk?

[Devaclis]

the Offspring are not Punk. Goldfinger is not Punk, Green Day is not punk. Those are bands for kids who want to feel punk but do not want the hassle of actually being punk. Poser fucks.

[salsashark]

Agreed...

pop punk =/= true punk

While quirky and fun to listen to (I still think Dookie is a great album), I consider bands like Dropkick Murphys to be more punk then these guys.

[Devaclis]

Sure, fun to listen to, and it is music, everyone has their own tastes. But bubblegum punk is not punk.

Sorry to sidetrack.

[dirkterrell]

This is Punk.

THAT is punk^^^

Rotten still does not give about shit about anything other than himself. I like it. Hell, Sid could not even play guitar. He sucked and was faking it at every show. When you have a group or working class guys who grew up under the foot of the system and were beat down by it at every turn, you have the beginnings of a punk movement. Be inciteful, rebellious, fight your ass off so you can do whatever the hell you want. I really like that aspect of punk music and the culture. Very much like the straight edge groups of the early 90's. Don't let anyone tell you how to do what you do.

Regardless, it's still terrible music.

Your Opinion

My Opinion, 3 green day songs are ok. I like Offspring but musically they are 5 year olds. The Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols, Descendants, the Ruts, and others play horribly but their message is pretty pure. If you don't like us or what we do, go fuck yourself. And that is what I think about my opinion.

[Devaclis]

LOL I was listening to teh DropKick Murphys the other day (Lindsey turned me on to them) and I was thinking that I really like these guys. They are a little hard, good lyrics, nice message. Then I thought "I must be getting fucking old" I really do like them tho, thanks Linds!!

[Matty]

Minor Threat, Decendants, Misfits, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Social Distortion (Rockabily, but still punk), Dead Kennedy's, Circle Jerks, just to name a few.

Man i miss being in high school.

[Matty]

Then there's modern day punk, which i like to call, "Surfer Punk."

Pennywise, NOFX, RKL, Rancid, AFI, Tiger Army, Strung Out, No Use For A Name, Lagwagon, Unwritten Law, and Authority Zero.

I do agree The Offspring really isn't punk but really didn't know how else to put it.


But The Vandals were there.

Good term for Pennywise, surfer punk. I love pennywise!
