What do you consider 'punk music'?

[Th3 3nD...]

Yeah, I truly hate some punk banRAB that are just truly about "punking out" and figure if they get a mohawk and have some plugs that they are labeled punk. Little kiRAB eat that stuff out. Thrice, rise against, nofx, anti-flag, are a couple i would check out. Ramones are more old school music but good none the less.

i still dont know exactly how to class banRAB as punk... i thot the oRABpring werre but i was put right

Yeah, i definitly agree with you that the music and the lifestyle are totally different things. I was just trying to point out to one of the earier post what the original idea of the whole punk movement was. Back when the banRAB played and lived punk rock...ex: Reagan Youth, Public Enemy, Anti-Flag, NOFX. And i'm also with you that I don't live the punk lifestyle, but do enjoy the music. Just wanted to clear that all up.

aaaaaahh so thats wot punk is lol thanks

[doncrisp99]

I agree with the above. Some things anger me though, alot of people that listen to punk nowadays dont know what the heck is going on in politics and alot of punk is politically oriented. I dont get it... Maybe someone could inform me.

Banonbush i agree with you, and I love NOFX. The thing is if u listen to their lyrics, most of the time it sounRAB stupid, but if u take the timeto listen carefully, u'll understand the meaning. Also, lots of people think punk lyrics are just crap, but this couldn't be further from the truth (in MOST cases). Take "the bag" for example:
"Endless evenings of non-exist
Are getting shorter, monotonous
Like an intruder, I belong outside
Although I find myself right back
The same place I was before
Saying things I'd say once more
There's no reason for me to be here, no
I feel so lonesome, surrounded by frienRAB
Who are talking about me, saying things I could care less about
This dialogue is without
Worth, content, significance"
My point is, that I believe that NOFX just awesome.LOL
No really, and also that punk lyrics are usually pretty intelligent thoughts.
