Motorhead, The Outsiders, Sex Pistols, Crisis, Pure Hell...

Ah... damn.. My little bro wants on......

I'm only going to be on a few more minutes.

Edit: You feel pretty strongly about this, don't you? ^_^

Motorhead is not punk. They are a British heavy metal band. I like the Pistols, so I'll give you that. I havent heard of the others. You need to do your homework on punk rock dude. Really, I could recommend stuff that would blow your mind. Still, I AM THE PUNK ON THESE MESSAGE BOARDS!!!

Okay, Suggest away. But blow fast because I don't have much time. Haha. ^^

Edit: Come on, Blow my mind! I love it when that happens!

Okay, I am being kicked off, I will return tomorrow. (Or possibly later tonight)

Ok young apprentice, listen to the master. Here we go: British Hardcore: GBH, Abrasive Wheels, The Varukers, Vice Squad, The Exploited, Drongos for Europe, English Dogs(only the early stuff)

American Hardcore: Minor Threat, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, The Germs

Anarchist Punk: Crass, Conflict, Subhumans, Anthrax, Zounds,

Crust punk (this is REALLY hard to get into):Amebix, Antisect, Doom, Misery, Nausea

I could list about 75 more bands but time is short. I am the guru, you have questions, you ask me.

FYI, "gothic" is an adjective pertaining to architecture and literature. "Goth" is a label, and maybe not even then, as no one can ever seem to agree on what exactly it is.

Also for the record, from what I understood, the punk movement was not about "being yourself", it was about being pissed off at the world for being the fucked up place full of assholes that it is, and (in the case of the bands) expressing that anger through music. Of course, I could be wrong, so SoD, feel free to correct me.

Yes, I would agree with you Breathless Horror. I'd also add its about DIY too. LOTS of DIY. How do you think we make our studded jackets? Hell, I put all the studs in by hand on my jacket, all 250 of em.

>.<

Don't get me wrong, I really like As I Lay Dying, I LOVE Atreyu, I like Adema, Saliva, Aerosmith, Fallout Boy, Creed mostly, AC/DC, and Queen. But if you call yourself punk, please make at least 50% of the bands you list punk, or even close to punk.

True enough, a LOT of DIY, but I'd say that stems from a) a lot of the original punks were working class brits, who couldn't afford pre-fab stuff, and b) There wasn't really anything catering to thier tastes, so they had to make it themselves. I'm sure the motivation behind it now is more aesthetic, but I'm pretty sure thats how it started.

Demonstrates submissive tendancies through strong interest and enjoyment of being patted on the head. ^_^

You should probably brush up on your definitions. From what I've read, I don't think you fully understand the following words and/or phrases: gothic, punk, metal, emo, industrial, closed minded, different.

That is all.

Good apprentice, you too shall learn the ways of a punk rocker.

*starts gasping for air while stumbling over words figuring out what to say next*......Blasphamy!!*collapses*

I cannot believe you just implied that any of the bands you listed were industrial. Please read up on Stormtrooper's list - and you might want to find out what "metal" is, also.

And, in my opinion, punk may have to do with going with what you believe in, but it is first and foremost about loving, living and breathing punk music, just like goth is first and foremost about loving goth music. 'Tis simple.

Welcome, and I hope you learn a lot here.

It's times like these I just end up saying that I like a 'variety' of music, saves me the trouble.

Anyway welcome to this wonderful world!

*hurriedly whips out oxygen tank and rescusitates (sp?) *

*blink*

Do I need to get my eyes checked, or did you really write that Emo is mostly Industrial?

In regards to flaming...it looks like you might have sparked something by mentioning 'punk'..but welcome!
