What? I had to read this sentence three times to translate it.

The "punk rock" that is popular isn't about rebellion. Those guys are too comfortable. They're just having a good time.

There is plenty to rebel against, at least here in the States. Maybe people in the UK have it better. Our government is a fxcking joke. And a lot of people actually like McCain/Palin. I'm scared they're going to win the election in November.

Maybe you should consider paying attention to punctuation. It wouldn't take that long to decipher your sentences.


About Punk: Seriously, a lot of "Punk" (at least they consider themselves to be Punk) bands nowadays are making ridiculous Pop Punk shit a sane person cannot voluntarily listen to (see underclass hero's list above).

For some quality Punk/Hardcore music you should check out e.g. Trash Talk, Gridlink or Ghostlimb. And Punch if you like a female fronted Punk band.

If you look for Hardcore music in general, there are a lot of japanese bands that are freaking awesome. I recommend the "Deny The Report" samplers, especially the ones that contain Foodchain. That's an awesome band indeed.

Nothing to rebel against! - there's always something to rebel against - health and safety measures maybe?

As regards current punk - if you fancy totally accessible, of questionable artistic merit, old style punk and - I'm sorry for using the F word here - fun - try Bouncing Souls, Dogs or even Say Anything.

I did also laugh practically non stop when I listened to the last Gallows album - but that wasn't a good thing

that is true, pointless and offensive health and safty is most definately something to fight

i read and was like wat the hell did i type

but i dont think their's any true punk anymore.

There's potential for true punk listening if you dig past MTV punk.

[briannaballistic:)]

The Bouncing Souls...
and Vampire Weekend (< well, I like them) -wink-

[immortaloldshool.]

Hm.
I don't know much about punk but I'm gonna say try:
Anti-Flag
The Bouncing Souls
The Offspring
and Streetlight Manifesto, I guess they're actually ska but they sound punk to me.
Lol.
