oooooookay....
etc

taken to calling them punk-rock as I ignore her attempts at calling it straight punk.

Am I completely in the wrong here?? :confused:


hi btw :p:wave:[/QUOTE]

id call them punk-rock (which is a nice way of trying to explain to pop-punk people that what they are listening to is pop-punk.)


hardly anyone seems to grasp the concept of what punk actually is... although saying that they do have their similarities

mate i just answered that

i like most genres a lil but not rap though.

[QUOTE=dave grohl]what do you like then?[/QUOTE]

punk, ska, pop-punk, hardcore


[QUOTE=duffroxmysox]ok, but what would you categorise tham as then?

just to get evryones opinions...[/QUOTE]

pop-rock

[QUOTE=bobbass4k]:eek: how can you hate metal?[/QUOTE]

just don't like the music or the vocals :p

decent solos though, musically wise

[QUOTE=Untitled258]Id say Pop-punk, and i hjonestly think the whole "not punk if signed to major record" is crap, cuase if they want to have there music heard then theyll have to be, you cant get big off a small label. Thats one of the things that pisses me off about the whole punk thing.[/QUOTE]

Punk can't be popular, it goes against what punk stands for

Man, that's a long post....................

which is why pop-punk exists

it certianly is.

Thats what pisses me off about it. And as soon as a band is in the charts they must be "sell outs" etc etc.

cheers everyone and James, I'm liking the long posts- they take ages to do but you feel a sense of achievement after......:lol:

Hi james (short post).

and what makes it even more gay is that all bands end up with a cd in the charts eventually so that band goes down the drain and then the next and if the bands dont get popula some times they dont feel apreciated so its like lose either way pretty laim if you ask me!

[QUOTE=apacherosepeacock]which is why pop-punk exists[/QUOTE]
thats what I find annoying about the genre title

pop-punk= popular punk, however pop-punk is [I]really[/I] a term for poppy punk imo so :confused:

[QUOTE=apacherosepeacock]which is why pop-punk exists[/QUOTE]

Pop-punk is just a melodic version of punk music. The pop doesn't stnad for popular with the meaning of "well known". It means that the music is likely to have features associated with pop music such as melodic vocals. I could name sooooo many of these poppy bands that people will never have heard of.

Calling a popular band like good charlotte "punk" is an oxymoron

[QUOTE=apacherosepeacock]i was in many bands, narrowed it down to one now




do we all play bass??[/QUOTE]


I think most of us do :eek: :cool:

good charlotte should not be spoken it makes me cringe!

[QUOTE=Untitled258]Thats what pisses me off about it. And as soon as a band is in the charts they must be "sell outs" etc etc.[/QUOTE]

Not at all. Selling out is changing your music in order to make more money. For example Blink didn't sell out as they were already popular

[QUOTE=dave grohl]Hi james (short post).[/QUOTE]

Hello ........ :wave:




I've got long-post itis :upset:

[QUOTE=Untitled258]Thats what pisses me off about it. And as soon as a band is in the charts they must be "sell outs" etc etc.[/QUOTE]

yeah..... the reason for that i think:

-everyone wants to not follow the crowd, so as soon as a band becomes really famous, they decide they dont like them anymore.

but now pop-punk is a style more than a watered down version of punk

good charlotte good charlotte good charlotte hahaha sorry!

[QUOTE=liberator of squeezy cheese]good charlotte should not be spoken it makes me cringe![/QUOTE]

Haha me too, i can't stand the wankers.

[QUOTE=dave grohl]good charlotte good charlotte good charlotte hahaha sorry![/QUOTE] not funny im emaberessed for both of us

[QUOTE=liberator of squeezy cheese]good charlotte should not be spoken it makes me cringe![/QUOTE]

good charlotte is a really really bad swear word so i emplore everyone not to say it.

I think that there is only a very few pop-punk bands. **** *********, Blink 182 and Green Day.

[QUOTE]Not at all. Selling out is changing your music in order to make more money. For example Blink didn't sell out as they were already popular[/QUOTE]
I know what selling out is, its just thats what people are like.

[QUOTE]yeah..... the reason for that i think:

Thats exactly what im on about, its almost like some punks are scared to like a band if they go mainstream.

dont forget HIm.

[QUOTE=Untitled258]

to be fair..... punk isn't just about the music... however, "real" punk barely exists, and so all those people are just posing.

HIM are plain crap, some guy i know weres a HIM shirt everyday, i think the reason he likes them though is cause we all hate them, he trys to hard to be different.

GC- I dislike 'em but still, they are better than westlife, in a way, so you have to at least thank them for playing some kind of instrument and not sitting on a stool every friday night on totp and clogging the number one spot for weeks on end with every song


hmmm.....I also hate the fact that I liked Joel and Benji's made hoodie so I got one but I cant stand the band :upset:

I'm a power metal nerd these days :cool:

But I'll listen to anything, the latest compilation cd I did featured Fatboy Slim, Black Sabbath, Goldie Lookin' Chain, The Streets, Ensiferum, Bob Marley and The Deftones.

So I'm an all rounder for music.

/late

I dont really like Him. I just dont like the way he sings IMO. Just not my sort of thing.
