What Is "Punk" Anyhow?

Swing swing swing from the tangles of my heart, it's crushed by a former love, can you help me find a way to carry on again.
Wish cast into the sky, i’m moving on sweet beginnings do arise she knows I was wrong, the notes are old they bend they fold, and so do I to a new love.
Sorry, random post, I just read your sig and remember the song! I haven't heard it for about 2 years!
And Jen, you're the type of person I'm talking about in my earlier post.

I dress diffrent than everyone else, and I can't take it when people judge me. I also say that my parents can't tell me what to do... I will make mistakes and I want to learn from them.

Haha what a poser.

That was mean dude.

Im not huge into punk, but I do like some. I really hate the people who hate green day just because of their music now. Some people even think they are posers :p They arent though. Look at them back in the late 80's early 90's. Not original, but not posers.

Oh man, I hate the people who didnt know "I fought the law" was a remake. A remake of a clash song, which was a remake :rolleyes:

Every remake is like that. Thats why I am starting to hate remakes of songs, because everyone thinks they are new. No one at school believed me when I said 99 red balloons by goldfinger was a remake, until I showed a few of my friends online.

Ok, here are songs I got annoyed by because people didnt know were remakes:

I fought the law- Green Day
99 Red Balloons- Goldfinger
Behind Blue Eyes- Limp bizket (Or however they spell it)
Im a believer- Smash mouth

Ill think of more

Haha indeed! and people are even more shocked when they find out that 99 Red Balloons was a german entry in Eurovision song contest...
Behin blue eyes = a great song, but I think Limp bizkit totally wrecked it.

99 red balloons is a great remake because they made it their own. In the behind blue eyes remake, it was just a different voice singing. It was cheap

Im too lazy to read the whole thread but Good Charlotte have never labelled themselves as "punk" So when you all say "bands like Good Charlotte aren't punk!!" you're absolutely right :)

Once again, thank you.



Punk is not just a dress sense for one, and how can you learn a lot about punk from Good Charlotte when they aren't even a real punk band?

People thought Greenday wrote I Fought The Law? They must be ******ed.

ok i agree blink 182 n greenday ect are sorta pop-punk bands and i dont like the real punk cos all they do is sit there scream and shout into a mic with rhyming words and in every sentance they swear atleast 2 times.

thats the difference to me
