Just gotta say scanning through this thread gets me all worked up ! lol
I see the word "punk" and then people post shots of Black flag and dead kennedys junk?!
When the hell were these "hardcore" record nerds ever punks? jello barfia and miss rollins are the biggest blowhards around,getting kids that dont wanna go home at 9 o clock to spend their parents money on their vinyl diarea.
with the exception of the incomprable and only band that seems to be getting better ( so far ) Social Distortion the rest of the junk on this thread is 7-11 skateboard angst ! lol
Well FEAR,X and the GERMS are ok but all that american hardcore crap belongs in a porta potty on the way to a landfill !
But dont get all blocked up,I have this discussion with alot of people, and I think that unlike TIKI it is not open to interpretation ,PuNk is one thing and one thing only ...either it is or it isn't and most aren't qualified to catagorize.
Some dude in a crew cut and hawaiian shirt with manicured fingers and a 15 dollar coctail is not an old puNk!
" a used to be never was "

Well, aren't you all fired up? Any interpretation is always open to other interpretation. Of course, there are many different factions of punk, but to say that Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys are not punk is extreme at best. I don't know if you're just trolling or what, cuz you're not really defining what you think is punk and what bands fall into your definition. Anyway, this is just a circular argument that will probably only end up with crappy things being said.
It's really like trying to argue about what "jazz" is.

And as much as I dig SD, going to see them next month, there are a lot of folks that would argue with you about them being punk.

So, why don't you post up some of your stuff or something? ADD to the conversation rather than just put other people's shit down or buy me a damn manicure and one of them $15 cocktails fer christsakes!
