Punk Rock

Punk rock (often referred to simply as punk) is a rock music genre and movement that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United Kingdom, United States and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: The Living End

If Green Day, Offspring and Bad Religion aren't punk, what is punk? (Yes, there's a lot of shit like blink-182, Sum 41 or Simple Plan, but the top 3 bands are really punk) [-1] A band with such a faggy guitarist-singer can't be punk. Johnny Ramone laughing nao.

Yes that's right, punk is dead, It's just another cheap product for the consumers head. Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors, Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters. CBS promote the Clash, But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash. Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me. "Punk is dead" - Crass [2]

bad religion is one of the gratest. but where is ramones, sex pistols and the clash? answer, people who are users of last.fm listen more to blink182. and that's a shame. blink 182 do have some good (old) songs, but i dont think they have conddition to represent the punk rock style

OK, someone needs to work out if punk rock = punk or not, seriously. I always get a dozen different answers. Genres are so fucking confusing :|
