Punk Music (especially Bad Religion)

Okay, this is a thread to discuss all punk music and the "punk movement". Don't come in here talking about how you are punk because you wear badges on your Value-village shirt...that's fashion, nothing more.

To start, I want to clear up some things about my favourite band, Bad Religion.

www.badreligion.com

In my opinion, the "bad religion" isn't say, Christanity, rather it is ignorance, presumed superiority, selfishness, etc.

I'll also post the links to the lyrics of a few songs that could be taken as anti-religion. You decide for yourselves.

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Smile Empty Soul, A Name Unheard, AFI and Thrice are all high up on my list right now.

I was talking to a punked out(bondage pants, metal dice hanging from a Kyle Katarn style sweater) Distillers fan today and she hated Dashboard Confessional. Think I may be in love. :P

Punk rock wasn't and shouldn't be about talent. You want talent go listen to Eric Clapton or Eddie Van Hallen. Punk rock is more about ideals whatever they may be, screw the system, change it, drink as much as you can while doing these things, screw with other people, etc., as well as friends and others that feel and see things the same way. A good punk rock band doesn't start with "Hey, let's form a band and sound good so we can mass market ourselves to make money". Most of the time it's just a few friend's who just want to play music because others have and why shouldn't they. Who cares if we sound good? If you agree with them great. If not go ---- yourself. It's about comraderie and voicing you're dislike of the things you see around you in every day life. Oh yeah, sometimes it's just about times you've had and people you know or even completely random things. Punk rock is not a state of fashion it is a state of being. Good or bad it's just who you are. No mohawk necessary, although I miss mine dearly.

PS. Who can tell me the begining of the use of the word PUNK. In so far as Punk Rock is concerned.There's a cookie in it for you. HINT: it has to do with the RAMONES(the original punk rockers).

PPS. Has anyone checked out the Turbo A.C.'s yet?

Screamo is screaming emo :o Jeez. The bashing has begun. Anyway, for screamo check out bands like Vendetta Red and Finch. Yeah, I realize the Ramones defined punk, doesn't mean they are talented :P

I have heard lot of lyrics that I like and dislike. Personally, if I hear a guitarist that can eat up a riff or a bass line that is downright awesome, lyrics could matter less. :D Thats my two bits. :)

second, screamo if i remeber correctly, is like a cross breed between emo whiny b.s. and wanna be punk sound. so that means it sucks.

third, the ramones still rock and always will rock. Jello, im sure the guys wearing the ramones shirts are total fakes but thats still no reason to hate a great band. they started punk and honostly very few bands have ever reached their level.

Although I like all music, I usually listen to punk, gothic, industrial, and some rock/metal.

I've been listening to this stuff for years and, like my other main interest, paintball, I hate seeing it become infested with idiots.

I shake my head when I see someone buying a plain black t-shirt with a band name in white...and paying $30 for it.

Politics is a huge part of what punk is.

imo, Punk is freedom, equality, intelligence, selflessness, and a big "Go **** Yourself" to the figures that stand against these valuse.

The first generation of punks were rebelling against their hippy parents.

PS: Avril is COOL! :o

I like punk, mostly newer stuff. And Punk/Emo or Screamo too. Everyone hates me for this, but oh well. I like some old stuff too (like operation ivy). The Ramones... well... frankly I think they suck. One note solos? come on! They are punk, their music just sucks ass. Half the kids at my school wear a Ramones shirt and instantly they consider themselves "punk". Its about attitude, not clothing. Anyway, yeah, some of my favorite bands include: Gob, Finch, Brand New, Suicide Machines. And yeah.

*Open for music flaming now :P*
