I’m a huge fan of punk, but alot of new punk is really making me barf. Whats with the “im not fu%&ed up than you” thing. Its really anoying me, not just top40 punk _don’t even touch that_ but pretty much all new artists who call them punk now in general.
I’ve developed a new rule of thumb when looking for 2002+ punk. If they say they are, they are most certainly not. Compared to Johnny rotton and the ramones, nobodys pumping out good stuff anymore

Well I’m not sure if you got the memo, but punk is dead… sorry it had to be done like this.

I’ll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I’m a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don’t know if it gets any better than when he sings “When a Man Loves a Woman”.
…oh wait your talking about punk…sorry my bad…

Bad Religion comes out with something good every once in a while, but other than that, yeah - nothing compares to old school Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, TSOL, Anti-Flag, Black Flag, etc.
New punk != punk at all.
