Pop stars who want to be "cool"....so they pretend like they are punk......

Avril Lavigne is the perfect example

Im so sorry to butt in so late but this off what you said ages ago! Johnny Rotten did not wear teddy boy clothes that was Malcolm WaNKER MCLAREN!
I do agree that pop bands with guitars reckon there punk when there not, and if anyone here lives in the uk its like saying Busted are punk cause their just like good Charlotte!

then they grab the mic and bust into a pop song.......whining about this......singing about crap 12 year old girls care about......all while keeping on key to their crappy little pop melody........

ok..now im 14....close enough to 12 and all my frends just LOVE gc, blink 182 and all dat otha crap.give me a couple of sex pistols, misfits, and germ cd's and ill be happy...Punk today sux!!!!

Avril is another "mall-punk"...

They're always gonna be pop to me,no matter how many piercings they get or what colour they dye their hair or whatever clothes they wear,its the music that counts and theyre pop,they can say what they want and try to fool all every1 but i think even their fans realise that theyre pop

Avril 'must die' Lavigne!

Well, it's true. The people that mainly influence the music charts are the tweenyboppers that get their parents to buy them things all the time, not the people with, well, y'know... taste.

i like good charlotte cos they sing bout their life and they GENUINELY dont care whether people think they're punk or not. its not their fault they're popular. dont penalise them for it. if you were in a band and suddenly you went from being a group of nobodies with guitars to having a bit of success you'd like it wouldnt you? just because theyre popular doesnt mean theyre crap. metallica are popular arent they? slipknot are popular. red hot chili peppers are popular. they get played on mtv. doesnt mean they're not rock tho does it? think before you make stupid accusations. im totally on 113's side.

the ones that really get me are New Found Glory 😒

god i hate them....

New Found Glory is my favorite band, and they have never called themselves punk. I also like Good Charlotte because they got me into punk.

Avril is not punk, she's a damn country singer.

But thats the thing, GOOD CHARLOTTE IS NOT PUNK! the one band that I hate most out of these crap bands is Simple plan. They piss me off so much.

They are not, That is why there is a genra called pop-Punk.
I do howvever have a soft spot for Blink because they got me into Nirvana And Metallica.
But I think that every genra of music that sow talent deserves respect. Pop-Punk does show talent, Maybe not how we like to see it but talent, so does Country and Rap, But Straight up Pop...No talent=no respect=End of story

Good Charlotte will always have a place in MY heart because they got me into punk. And Benji is a punk. He has a genuine love for the music, and to me that is what constitutes a true punk.
