Punk Rock

[Jayson]

Nowadays, it seems most punks are into politics, lol.   Anyway, though, back in the day, a lot of people felt rock was too elitist and complex.  They wanted the garage band stuff like when Buddy Holly started out.  In that case, they flat out rebelled against the music establishment, making their own music independently and playing simpler, more aggressive songs.

I am not much into Punk Rock even though I have listened to Green Day

I never liked GG Allin until I heard his early stuff. Shame he went all weird because they were great catchy punk songs like Don't Talk To Me, Unpredictable, Dead or Alive...

The God saved the Queen Symphony, Complete Control are two punk music I love mostly, up to this day, I listen to them.

I don't really know any bands I listen to that are 'punk rock' but then again I don't care for genres, I just listen to what sounds good haha.

Most of the original punk artists were into politics, just look at stuff from the Sex Pistols and the Clash. The two bands that people cite as being the “originals”.

I’m a big fan of the genre, but I’m not a fan of the community behind it. It’s full of a lot of gatekeeping and people flaunting their “street cred”. There’s also the fun aspect of when someone does something new, the punk community initially writes it off and says it’s “not real punk”, and then several years later your legitimacy is questioned if you don’t like that previously hated artist.
