that something new... 😂

cheers!!

Personally I like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan ✅
I like a lot of thier songs.

I also like Good Charlotte...First album Good Charlotte. That album is what got me into punk. I don't give a **** if you say they are not punk. I couldn't care less. I got into Rancid because of the patch Benji wears on his back. Tell me, Rancid IS punk, right? Yes...now, Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederikson are both good friends with Benji and Joel from Good Charlotte. Tim has said on numerous occasions that he wishes he could sing like the twins(Benji and Joel). If Tim has their back, I don't see why anybody would not call them punk. They may be popular, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sex Pistols are immensly popular now, as are The Clash. That may be because it's trendy to like punk now, but that's regardless. So technically, punk in itself is now popular and mainstream.

Tell me...there are different branches of Rock & Roll, but they all lead back to the original title of Rock & Roll, right? There's alternative, punk, heavy metal, hair metal, etc... Pop-punk, emo-punk, hardcore-punk, and ska are just branches of punk that lead back to the original title of punk, and the original title of Rock & Roll. Good Charlotte is pop-punk, but that doesn't mean they suck. That is ultimately your opinion. Just because you don't like a band doesn't mean you have the right to criticize them or call them posers or whatever. If Good Charlotte is playing the music they want to play, then what is wrong with that? I hate country music and I hate most rap, but I can still respect the people as performers.

No, actually....punk is pop gone right

please don't define punk, defining it is what makes schisms and turns punk to crap. there's nothing worse about punk nowadays than the fact that everyone sounds the same.

eveybody doesn't sound the same. There are different branches of punk, each with their own original sound, but it all ultimately goes back to punk.

to people who hate punk-
well you dont like punk i'm... fine with that i'll just rip off you head and thow it in a lake you punk hater i crap on you if sid wasn't dead he'd kill you, you know.
have a nice day now.

SAtown_punk i love you 🙂

Rancid is punk damn good punk
and benji is hot damn hot

there shouldn't be "branches", try listening to TSOL's beneath the shadows or Joykiller's Three, or even Nirvana's Bleach. those are still punk albums.

I love TSOL. But why should there be no branches? Ska is an amazing genre of music, and it's probably my favorite. But I also like poppy-punk, such as Millencolin, old Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, NOT SIMPLE PLAN!, but stuff like that. But I also like hardcore punk like Minor Threat. Even emo/screamo like Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Finch, and Matchbook Romance. Having different branches off of one general genre is a great thing, because it gives people like us the chance to experience different things.

I think a lot of people don't like punk because they've never heard it.......

I get the feeling that alot of people think that : Blink 182, Green Day, The Offspring, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Avri Levigne, etc. are punk bands.........they are not people. Those are pop bands. If anybody here dislikes punk because you think those pop bands represent punk, you are mistaken. Please seek out a few punk bands, listen to them......then feel free to criticize the genre.

You mean in the mainstream?

Half you cats honestly don't know what real punk is, or the fact that it's been dead for a few years now, atleast to most people. Let me drop some names for you, if you're looking to get into the genre.

Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
The Cramps
The Damned
The Ramones
New York Dolls
The Smiths
Pennywise
Bad Relgion
Operation Ivy
Propaghandi
Iggy Pop + The Stooges
Sex Pistols
Minor Threat
Rancid
Agnostic Front
The Vandals
Dropkick Murphys
The Misfits
NOFX

I mean, I could go on and on. While I do think that punk is dead, there are plenty of what I guess you'd call "punk" bands that are underground, and thrive locally.

It's all fast music, with political themes, so it's hard to distinguish, but if you like that sort of thing..go for it.

A lot of people don't like punk specifically BECAUSE OF PUNK FANS AND THEIR ELITIST PUNKER THAN THOUGH BS! THERE'S NOTHING I HATE MORE THAN SOMEONE WHO EXPECTS YOU TO BE JUST LIKE THEM OR THEY'LL HATE YOU!!!
AND BY BRANCHES I MEANT THAT IT'S WRONG TO QUANTIFY MUSIC. ONLY THE ARTISTS WHO PLAY IT.
