Poll: Pop Punk or New Punk?

[Zantos]

I'm usually into things that are 80s and british, but at the minute I'm listening to a lot of Dropkick Murphys and ska punk stuff.

My dad listened to a lot of punk when he in his late teens and he still does to this day, when I was a kid he would always have the Clash on, especially the London calling album



as well as bands like The theatre of hate, Stiff little fingers and bands like that, so I prefer the old punk stuff because that is what I grew up with. I dislike Greenday and these pop-punk bands.

 

[Klarinette]

Ska punk! I don't know, I sort of move between different areas of punk... I don't sit on one genre because the bands I like don't, either.

here's the punk I listen to.

EDIT: im big into the so cal punk scene, well what's left of it...

I really, really want to like classic punk, but I'm afraid that I just don't think it sounds very good. I do really like the kind of music you describe as new punk though, so that's kinda cool I guess. I've never really thought of it as punk before though.

As for that pop punk stuff, it's not my cup of tea, but it's not actually bad or anything, I'm just kind of curious why they chose to call it punk. As far as I can tell it has absolutely nothing to do with anything else even remotely punk related.

I like Billy Talent and Rise Against too (although I'm starting to go off Rise Against), but I'm a bigger fan of stuff like The Bronx or Cancer Bats.

Classic and throwback only, and mostly US punk (and more evolved from the 80s DC punk scene rather than the SoCal punk scene). I hate the fucking Sex Pistols. Bunch of diva douchebags. Seriously, punk is a whole lot about principle. The Sex Pistols were/are frauds. I do love The Clash, though. No matter how big they got, they were still a great bunch of guys. Joey Strummer is a legend.

I like the Minutemen, Fugazi, Sonic Youth (I really consider noise rock a form of punk), Minor Threat, Black Flag (the very early stuff), Bad Religion, Husker Du, and that sort of punk. The Dead Kennedys were great too. Jello Biafra would go out of his way to help artists he believed in. Punk is a lot about the community that supports itself to me.

More recent bands I like are Ted Leo (he's been with a few bands. Right now, it's Ted Leo and the Pharmacists), No Age, Fucked Up, Titus Andronicus (holy shit, is The Monitor an outstanding album or what?)...

Edit: I feel like linking to a Titus Andronicus song because it is amazing.

Pop Punk is of course the mutant offspring of Punk and Pop, made to appeal to "hardcore/punk" Middle Schooler.

I guess I'm just a hardcore middle schooler then.

Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Veara, A Day To Remember, Four Year Strong, New Found Glory.

I don't know, man, all of this shit is much better than anything I've ever heard. I don't think its fair for you to say its for middle schoolers.

Music is a taste, don't insult people for liking what you don't.

 

[RanD00M]

Hardcore punk is really the only punk I listen to regularly. I enjoy such punk groups like The Dead Kenndys, Black Flag, The Misfits(Danzig era only), early Beastie Boys and the Bad Brains.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Post-punk is where it's at.

 

[General Ken8]

I'm more into Pop-Punk, primarily The Offspring's older stuff, Anti-Flag, The Unseen, and a few others, but I also like some classic and new punk.
I think I'm getting more into classic punk though, Pop-punk can get old after a while

 

[Aetera]

Oh, and may I just say, thank you, thread, for making me feel not so alone with my constant "I swear punk isn't completely dead yet stop looking at me like I'm crazy" mantra? This gives me hope. <3

 

[General Ken8]

The stuff OP linked is some of the worst music ever, and any band that sounds like that is a terrible band.They are a bunch of whining pop pussies.

How diplomatic of you.

I lol'd

 

[bluepotatosack]

As far as pop punk goes, I do like some of it.

Spoiler: Pop Punk

Usually I go for something that's more towards hardcore or peace punk.

Spoiler: Like so.

Or whatever else that I am too lazy to categorize further.

Spoiler: Other

Billy Talent and RA qualify as pop punk. A lot of what I listen to can qualify as pop punk as it's fairly popular for punk. NOFX, Bad Religion, a little Pennywise. If you want true new punk don't listen to your radio.

Ok, what I consider true new punk are acts like:


A nice ska influence in that one.


Gotta support my local groups

Didn't think anyone knew the have nots (plugging new album pride. =P ) Also you have folk punk:
Defiance, Ohio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JbEGQLmOzo
and also gypsy/polka punk
Gogol bordello
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elyQ4ShVw-Y
and killigans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRhDcrCDN3s

Calm down.

There's quotation marks there for a reason.
I didn't say anything about you, especailly nothing bad.
But you can't deny certain music is geared for certain age groups.

Nice list too. Not neccesarily my top 6, but still good.

All of it?
