the definition of Ska and punk although really different genres really becomes blurred in alot of situations I find, I think its safer to say punk/ska rather than one or the other in alot of cases...
But I think i'm pretty much going to agree with amlap there, someone finally knows somthing. although 1976 was really were punk/new wave began.
but thank f*ck for amlap, somone in here has a brain.

Its a ****ing Joke. I would prefer to talk in a horse sh!t forum if there was at least one person with a clue about what horse sh!t was.
Actually, SAtown is one of the only people I know that doesn't think that what you wear makes you punk, that it's really not only the music, but a way of life.
But I like how you think that you know him so well based on what he posts on some message board. 🙄
I am punk music, I live for it, and I play it everyday.
I am punk, I go up to rappers, they describe themselves as P.I.M.P's, I introduce myself as the P.U.N.K
I listen to REAL punk such as The Clash, The Ramones, Sex PIstols, and even The Distillers.
I am the person Pop/Punk rockers envy, I am what materializes punk music as the world's staple.
Yeah, Propagandhi are awesome.
Actually, punk started in the 50's and 60's, with the Velvet Underground and the New York Dolls. That's where the idea began to arise to question authority and take a stand on issues that you consider important and that you want to be addressed.
If you don't like the bands that play "punk" nowadays, then I feel sorry for you, because it is some of the most creative and fresh music that I have ever heard. I love the majority of the bands that are labeled as "punk" today, and I have no problem admitting that. At least everything isn't just power chords and breakneck fast drum fills. The bands today have a love for creativity, and if you can't see that, and see that they are doing something truly good, then you are completely blind. The majority of the bands that are considered punk today do not even call themselves punk, and I said I've said before, the Sex Pistols NEVER called themselves punk, and they never wanted to be called punk.
I beg to differ. I think there are many bands who will make a place in history, because there are bands in every generation that have a place. The Beatles had to start somewhere. The bands that will solidify a place in music history may not have emerged yet, but they will. They always do. And to quote Pereira, "The music now is an evolution." And a good one, I think.
