all the threads with punk in the title have posers and hippies ragging on punk. (and they wonder why punks hate hippies)so i just wanted one thread that we can talk about punk. and not have hippes and posers ruining it and making us pissed off.so forewarning just stay out if your a poser or a hippie. if your a hippie dont rag on fucking punk. you should be hugging a tree or protesting since you say punks only sing about it and dont act..... so anyways i like old a new punk. my favorite bands are: GBH, circle jerks, sex pistols, casualties, cheap sex, varukers, lower class brats, One way system, defiance, the havoc, oxymoron, conflict, distraught, blitz, blitzkreig, disorder, peter and the test tube babies, toy dolls, the virus, unseen, anti nowhere league, angelic upstarts, a global threat, exploited, dk, funeral dress, chaos uk, the defects, antidote, discharge, instant agony, uk subs, blanks 77, english dogs, krays, crass, abrasive wheels, bomb squadron, cropknox, action. what are yours? what else do you want to talk about?
Yes, as you just said, you are a poser. Punk is a high school freshman fad at best. And yes, I like the Velvet Underground. They were one of the greatest bands in history. "Cheap Sex" was/is not.
60's garage rock with elements of avant garde and proto-punk. They're surely not a "punk" band. You see, The Velvets actually had skilled musicians and a great lyricist, unlike most, if not all, punk bands. Haha, you know what's funny? In another thread you called someone an asshole for calling The Velvet Underground punk yet you're now doing the same thing. You do know that you're an ass, right?
for your information not one other person at my high school is punk. everyone are gangsters and goths. im the only punk yet somehow im following a trend. and like my sign. says. IF YOUR NOT PUNK, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT PUNK IS SO YOU CANT JUDGE IT. motherfucker. and i dont like velvet underground. i dont know where you pulled that out of.
all punks are poseurs. if you think you are doing it to be a rebel, or go against the normal crowd, you are truely wrong. For there are alot of punks out there who think they are doing their own thing, when in all actuality you all are following a label. True punks are against labels, and if you even consider yourself a punk, in essence you are a poseur. plain and simple. why cant people be an individual?? not follow some damn fad. I dont consider myself a punk, a hippie, a goth, nothing..... I dont follow any damn fad. most people can't figure me out, which is a good thing.
I think you should watch SLC punk, if you havent already. maybe youll think differently about punks in general.
For someone claiming to not follow a trend, you sure are acting like the usual 'punk'. And I know you've heard this a thousand times, but whats with all the lables? do punks have to hate hippies? is it written in stone somewhere? Stop taking orders from Jello Barfria and Scott Ian, and stand up for yourself. Say "I was an arrogant little hormoin driven angsty teenager, I'm sorry god. Especially for being a faciast, but to confuse southerners, we'll say punk instead. Your not fooling anyone. And support music for what it is. Not what it looks like. I listen to awesome technical metal bands. And I dont have spikes on my wrist, and a black band tee shirt and jeans everyday. Punk lacks balls. -TEC
Actually, SLC Punk shows alot of important moral, ethical, and spirtual values, which is something you could really learn from.
