Feel free to bash the posers as there are so many.

P.S. Once and for all,Good Charlotte is not punk.If you want to listen to punk,pick up some sex pistols you pussys!

the term "pop punk" is an oxymoron

I know.I was just using the term that most people use even though it is an abomination of punk.I know that it is not true punk.

Simple Plan has got to be the worst

Nah, New Found Glory is the worst
Good Charlotte takes a close second

I hate Simple Plan and Hoobastank the most Then New Found Glory.

Really? I actually don't mind some of Hoobastank's older stuff. I want to rupture my eardrums with a dull knife when I hear NFG

O God, At Christmas last year my cousin was blasting NFG, It was horribal. But later he put on Black Sabbath so I was happy.

the reason has got to be the most annoying song in the history of time

i highly doubt that hoobastank can qualify for being considered "punk"...they sound like a pop rock band to me...

yea, but they suck so, hey......

NEWSFLASH for all of you Punk and pop both suck

NEWSFLASH ............we don't care about your opinion. crawl back into your hole.

NEWSFLASH for IKnoRapbitch--you just proved that you have no idea what you are talking about.

yeah

anyways... As much as "The Reason" annoys me, Hoobastank beats the hell outta shit like NFG and Simple Plan

id love to watch Hoobastank fight NFG or simple plan....aslong as its a long winded, brutal fight and the last surviving member of hoobastank falls into a coma promptly after

I think Avril Lavigne is pretty terrible myself. She's such a poseur!

She's not pop punk though... she's just pop

Yeah, but she trys to act all punk and crap. so annoying.

Avril is the epitome of punk, she is my rock goddess.

bahahaahaaahaaaaa

Been away for a while,here's my response to everything:

1.Avril Lavigne is simply pop.There is nothing punk about her(maybe the clothes)and anybody who likes her or thinks that she is punk should be banished form this thread by an administrator.

2.Simple Plan,Good Charlotte,and NFG are different from Hoobastank.The first 3 are poser bands whose purpose is no different from boy bands in that they are out to make money while trying to use punk clothing to act tough.It's sad.Hoobastank,on the other hand,is mainstream pop rock,which is basically on the same level.

Well said, slasherpunk.


I can't stand Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, NFG or any of those poser bands Everytime I hear any song of theirs, I want to rip my ears off. Hoobastank's the same way. They suck and their songs are played on the radio constantly and it gets so damn annoying.

Good pop punk: check out THe Thermals

When I hear the reason on the radio or tv,I reach for a dull knife and I prepare to jam it into my skull because I know that the sweet silence of death will prevent me from ever having to hear that poppie crap.But then I remember that I can just change the channel,so I do that.

the reason has the most annoying start ever

damn straight.

But still, I prefer Hoobastank to shit like NFG and GC, at least they don't try to be punk when they know they aren't.

no one's going to check out The Thermals, huh?

hysterical

Never heard of em,but if they are the least bit pop punk or posers(which is pretty much the same thing)I wouldn't like them.

you shouldnt judge stuff before you hear it

Yeah well,this thread is specifically for bashing pop punk.

*bash bash*


done



come on they do it there selves

LOL.Yes they do.

my friend said that Good Charlotte was hard core today scared what kind of bong is she using

Well if you like them they can't be all that bad... I'll check em out

The thing is that they aren't trying to be punk--they are really from the folk genre and they just decided to join a band with a punkish structure. They write very good pop songs to a punk structure, but they don't act punk--because they are trying to be a pop act, not a punk act.

LOL,I don't know what she's smoking but I have to get some!

One of the main problems I have with these poser bands is that they're too winey.

True.



I agree, slasherpunk. Whiney posers. I can't stand those bitches.

Good Charolotte sucks ass. Their pathetic. Their music sounds like count dracula taking a crap.

"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" has got to be the most hypocritical piece of crap I've ever heard. Has it ever occured to you, boys, that YOU'RE rich? They drive a Range Rover for Christ's sake

I agree with I Rule and Darth.Guess their just making fun of themselves.****in posers...

I've decided to add to my last statement. They are idiotic, whiney, bitching posers with no life and shitty music. That goes for a lot of other "punk" bands...Gah.

If you don't like their music don't listen to it and by the way everyone Avril never had ever called herself punk so just so you all know...and by the way it's spelt poseur not poser...

Avril has called herself punk before. Other times, she's said she isn't punk. She can't really seem to make up her mind about that...

"I get all these loser preps coming up to me asking for autographs and all this crap, and I really want to tell them, 'My music is not for people like you!'"

"I'm a chick with edge. I like to rock out, have fun, and 'cause trouble."

"I'd wear baggy size-32 pants and hoodies. I was a little badass."

"I created punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. That's what I do. I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation. People look up to me and want to be me. And that's fine, just don't try to copy the shit I do!"

"Pink's pretty cool. She's just kinda like a poser."

These came from an Avril fansite, btw:

http://www.freewebs.com/avril_lavigne_rowkz/

And about not listening to GC... It's not the fact that they make music that bothers me, it's the fact that some kids actually listen to them and believe they are "rebelling" by doing so. Go out and buy some Dillenger or In Flames, THAT'LL scare your parents.

You are banished Khalla.Goodbye.I will say whatever I goddamn please because it needs to be said.

I listen to GC i never said i was rebelling by doing so. I just like their music. yes now that i listen to GC i am a rebel. cough cough if i wanted to be a rebel i'd run down the street naked yelling STREAKING PARTY

Avril is so full of shit.

I never said YOU thought that, only that there are kids in the world who think so.

slasherpunk>yes, yes she is.

Credibility is more important than wealth,in my opinion.

I was insulted when that guy from Good Charlote, Benny wore a Slipknot Shirt in one of thier videos.

no respect.

I'd like to take this time to bash one that i haven't heard alot about on this thread but needs a good bashing:simple plan.
Can you say posers?

it's poseurs not posers and define the word poseur for me why don't you look it up in a dictionary

god its so annyoing when people throw the word posuer

It's just a commonplace word so get off my back.

when you use the word "poseur" what do you mean by it, do you even know or are you using it because its the cool thing to do.

khalla> It's not "poseur", it's "poser". "Poseur" isn't a real word. The way I like to think of it, "poseur" is the word posers use to describe themselves.

I don't like using the word poser much either, but there are few other ways to describe Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Simple Plan, and Avril Lavigne.

You might want to look that up in a dictionary it actually is spelt poseur and the definition is One who affects a particular attribute, attitude, or identity to impress or influence others. here see for yourself...
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=poseur

so unless you personally know them i dont think you can really call them a poseur

So just because GC has piercings and tatoos and not the right attitude their poseurs...?

Kurt Cobain didnt give shit what other people thought about him and i dont think any of these "poseur" bands care either they all just care about one thing: The Music. So what if they happen to like piercings or tattoos, so what if you think they're trying to hard to be "punk" punk is so cliquey now anyways and most of them know that, but they just want to have some fun, make some music. and thats probably the only thing they care about.

No, they just suck

then dont listen to them

Hey well thats a good idea

I dont

no because they try to embrace every single aspect of punk stereotype, trying to pass themselves off as punks....when, by doing what they do, theyre pretty much proving theyre not

^

Like I said, being punk isn't about looking a certain way. And I really can't understand why GC would want to have so much shit all over themselves except to fit the punk stereotype.

Apparently youve missed the entire point of this thread.We know these people suck.We have heard their music. And we hate them for it. So therefore this thread is dedicated to hating them. if you dont like it then go away, but if you dont then dont ***** about us ruining your crappy bands!


As for hoobastank they aernt punk.They are pop-rock and i see nothing wrong with pop because a majority of rock music in general these days seems to be dominated by a bunch of whiny crybabies. Especially GC! Quit crying about suicide and let them get on with it already! Its not their place to encourage their view on that kind of decision!

Exactly.Punk isn't just a style or a kind of music.It is an attitude and an idea.

BTW,if you poser rock defenders think the term poser is wrong,then i'll throw out another one to shut you the **** up.Fake.It means basically the same thing.But I know you like it in dictionary form,so here's one for ya:GC is as fake as Pam Anderson's ****.
Now leave you "posuers",you have been banished.

^another thing that annoys me... can we please drop this stupid issue? not everyone speaks english...
Katana, Gatana
tomato,tomahto
katar, quatar
chrono,crono,chrno
christ people its the same thing! WHO CARES!?
every country has their own spelling and such...so dont be a conformist ass about it!(im talking to you Khalla!)

I never got mad at anybody for that.

well i did because its not worth talking about!

Yeah,it's kinda stupid.BTW,nice avatar.

thanks...you have a nice one as well...is that from dawn of the dead?


oh yeah...by the way i used to love greenday...but they have whored themselves recently out therefore my hatred knows no limit for them...

yup.What's final fighting fantasy?

yup.

My bad.This computer keeps doing that.

might want to pm me about that one...but anyways...i think im going insane! ive heard so many bad songs that when i heard "linkin park" on the radio it (believe it or not)sounded actually good....isnt that sad people?!

::slap::

Linkin Park is pretty good.

yes because in order to be punk u have to be a punk hence the name PUNK...they don't have that



like these bands they complain and ***** but still doesn't mean that any of it really happened to them, its easy to lie and be fake

in order to be punk you must take your time machine go back to 1980 and shoot heroin into your system

also true

yeeaaap

i thought u liked good charlotte?

nope

ok what the hell is wrong with u stupid bitches! Did you completely lose your minds and forget about yellowcard!!! holy shit the most poser band in the world. your all like "NFG, GC, simpleplan, avril **** them they're posers" well yeah they're posers but that's only like 3 of the poser bands u guys can think of. mannn yellowcard would have to be the worst for me. Also AFI and like alkaline trio shit. Even stuff like brand new is poser. seriously man what about all the hair bands too! The only music that is real rock is like hmmmmm Hendrix he's cool, the who(sum original shit), ZZTop (if u guys havent heard of them u don't kno wut ur missing), AC/DC, H-I-M, aerosmith, alice cooper!!, bad company, audioslave, bad religion, black sabbath, blindside, a perfect circle, THE CLASH, CLUTCH(listen to the mob goes wild. it's orgasmic i swear), cream, crossfade, danzig, the cure, deep purple, dispatch, earshot, janes addiction(haha i love the song jane says), THE KINKS, zeppelin, marcy's playground(sex and candy), metallica but their old stuff cuz they completely ruined themselves recently, monster magnet they've got sum good shit, mother love bone, motley crue(kinda strange), mud honey, nickelback, my chemical romance, NIN, our lady peace, PAPA ROACH!(i love them), QUIET RIOT, screaming trees, senses fail, sevendust, shinedown, slipknot, smile empty soul, soundgarden, soil, stone sour, STP, SUBLIME, lacuna coil, underoath, the used, van halen. I kno they're in alphabetical order, i'm goin thru my itunes list of shit i've downloaded. seriously, you don't know poser rock until you listen to real rock.

punk died in '79 along with John Simon Ritchie (AKA Sid Vicious)

Sid didn't take punk with him tot he grave.Just because the Sex Pistols disbanded,doesn't mean that they were the only punk band!
There was still the Clash!
Even today,Punk isn't ded.
Some people rip on bands like Pennywise and NOFX but compared to Good Charlotte and Simple Plan(as well as Yellowcard) they're hardcore!

I really don't like this whiny American pop-rock thing either.

Bands like Yellowcard, pretty much anything that's trying SO HARD to be punk that it just smacks of commercialism.

"I'm a punk - cos I wear a TIE!"

Yeah, whatever.

If you truly wanted to be punk, alternative or whatever, you'd wear pink flourescent wellington boots, a green tutu, and underpants on your head. Now that's alternative.

These punk bands that think by wearring (highly fashionable) shirts and ties and blazers is "punk", are a frikkin joke.

The bands that think by having a mosh pit at gigs, singing out of tune and jumping around on stage like a retarded bunny is "punk", are also a frikkin joke.

These bands all seem to be copying Green Day. One pop rock band I actually LOVE (and am not afraid to admit it). Just because they were inspired by Green Day, doesn't mean they should downright copy them, and in a way, dilute the scene they pretty much created.

There's a band I'm sure you all hate, called The Darkness. I saw a very fitting documentary on them, where Justin said that it's more rebellious to put your thumbs up - because every band wants to stick their middle fingers up and say "I hate my mum!". They were very funny and downright truthful. People knock the Darkness for all their worth, as it's yet another "in-thing" to do, but I actually enjoy the joke, enjoy their music, and am glad they are a popular rock band that is nowhere near connected with likes of emo.

Be rebellious - like The Darkness, lol

I can't stand pop rock or pop "punk" as some call it.I've had enough of these posers and their whiny music.
God,I hate those ****ers....
BTW,Green Day rocks.

**** YEAH THE DARKNESS SUX ASS MOTHER ****ERS. EWWW WHAT ABOUT STORY OF THE YEAR. THEY SUCK ASSSSSSS

LIEK OMG!!!!11 ur such alosr that you cnt even turn of your caps! LOLOLOLO!!!!!111

Story of the year....

TrAnCeDuO

no one's taken me up on listening to The Thermals

I watched one of their videos on the TV(The Thermals i mean),and I thought it was pretty good.

Pop punk bands suck! i would have made a thread like this but i was too late. the only punk bands that are cool are bands like kid dynamite, the f-ups, and zebrahead. but death metal seriously takes number 1 in my book.

Spicy_Mchaggis you think Death metal sucks???

would sum 41 would be considered pop punk???

i think so.

now what is the definition for pop punk??? and punk???

Pop sucks but most punk nowadays isn't even realy punk.

Punk Rock=A form of music created in the late 70's as a form of rebellion.The fragments of it today can be seen in bands such as Bad Religion and many others.

Pop "Punk"=Pop music disguised as punk but can be distinguished by those who know the above definition to be true.
ex.Good Charlotte and Simple Plan although there are various others.

I still like Black punk the most
(its not called black punk i just call it that)

Okay,I haven't watched MTV in like,a year(cause it's poppy crap).So,i just heard about this band called Yellowcard.
Okay,so this is a "punk" band with a violinist?
A ****IN VIOLINIST?!

I hate Yellowcard. They're just another Good Charlotte/Simple Plan/Avril Lavigne. Posers.

Yeah,but a violin?!JESUS CHRIST!
THE CORPORATE MUSIC WHORES HAVE GONE FAR ENOUGH!

Agreed. Violins and punk bands just don't go together.

It's a clash of 2 worlds that should have never happened.

Exactly.

I think i've bashed most of the peole I set out to bash...

anyone who likes pop-punk can go to hell. pop-punk is a friggin oxi-moron and people who like it are morons themselves. punk cant be pop at the same time. save yourself from a beating and get into death metal. besides no one looks hardcore at a simple plan concert. go get lives in real music.

exactly

Amen to that, Spicy.

Ok... how can u say that all of these bands (not that i like them) r 2 whiney wen that is exactly what u r doing FOR 7 PAGES:

W H I N I N G

stop being so ****ing hypocritical

P.S. the thermals r my favourite band

I'm just stating a fact.And this is not whining.
We're just venting our frustrations about crap rock.
And since we are bombarded by this music whenever we flip to a music channel,I think we are entitled to our opinions.

Just to make sure everyone knows, THESE BANDS AREN'T PUNK:
Good Charolette
Simple Plan
Sum 41
Yellowcard
etc.

first- >>>solo<<< i think over the last 7 pages it has been established that those bands r not punk so y r u pointing it out AGAIN

And slasherpunk18 how is ur opinion a fact? they r OPPOSITES and im assuming that i dont need to provide a link that explains wot that means.
And finally if u dont want 2 be 'bombarded by this music' when you
turn on the tv, hav u ever considered NOT WATCHING IT

Just a thought dumbass

look,all im saying is that im entitled to my opinions.Im not saying I am all-knowing and have all the answers,I am just voicing my opinion.
So leave me to my opinion jackass.

look,all im saying is that im entitled to my opinions.Im not saying I am all-knowing and have all the answers,I am just voicing my opinion.
And if you have a problem with this thread,then you don't have to read it.
So leave me to my opinion jackass.

ppl r entitled to their opinions and can listen to whatever music they desire, however, in this case, i have to disagree with myself lol. random pop punk s**te is not worth straining your eardrums over. and although i don't know what to class them as, but the darkness are at the very bottom of my "let's listen to their music" list. i was quite shocked the other day when i walked into HMV and saw the darkness in the metal section. WTF? lol they don't belong there. they were a few spaces away from dimmu borgir (big contrast in style lol). one other i have to mention NFG - New Found Glory (or should that be No F**king Good?). Get some proper music down yer ears n use yer old pop punk cds as coasters or something (they make excellent frisbees aswell )

u think

NFG are a good band, there songs are more complex than most pop songs and they're relatable to people, also they have been popular for 20 years now so obviously they cant be that bad.

Fall out Boy is the most godawful auditory piss in the history of sound. The sooner they die the better.
