Blink 182

who decides how is punk and who is not?

punk is a style same with hip-hop and death metal

Who decides who's punk and who's not? Good question, who decides what's rock, and what's hip hop, and what's pop, who decides what genre any band is? It's just like anything, you look at the characteristics of the band's music, and if they don't meet the same characteristics punk needs to have, they're not punk. Is it that hard?

Go listen to some Sex Pistols and THEN tell me blink are punk. (I don't like the Sex Pistols btw 😛)

i know it is about genre but some people say band a is punk then another group says they are not. they is no other genre that bands are argued over like this. it is all opinion. i have listened to the sex pistols and they are great. just because they are better does not mean that blink is not punk. or that they are.

no one decides it is a style

No, I still stand by my original statement... blink aren't punk. True punk is underground music, which just means they don't play it on the radio or MTV, and they rely entirely on word-of-mouth to gain support from their fans. True punk is also anti-establishment, which blink sure as hell are not. Now, there's nothing wrong with not being punk, because tbh I don't like old punk a whole lot. But blink are as far from it as you can get without being flat out pop.

i think blink is great...funny music, enjoyable music and their ya go...my favorite album of theirs is chesire cat

Well they are pop punk I suppose, if a label must be applied. Not very keen on them anyway, bit disposable.

i really like blink 182...and i think it's really stupid the way that people think people shouldn't listen to them just because they're not punk. did it ever occur to you that people don't have to like only one genre of music?

You don't have to like one genre of music.

I however speak for myself when I say I don't choose to listen to lame music. Sadly for you Blink fall under that catagory with me.

saying they're lame is your opinion. i think they're good. we're different people.

word

They're like 40 and they sing about their first dates and other things having to do with Teens. It will be funny to see them with grey hair in a few years whining about some girl that they were on the rocks with when they were 15 years old.

well actually if you listen to their new singles, they have a more mature sound and more mature lyrics.

Ah< i believe it, because look how mature they seem in that sig of yours. I think I see some grey hairs on that guys head on the right.

aah...this wouldn't be the mighty backfire judging by appearance would it?

Of course it would, I do it all the time. I think appearence is one of the easiest ways to judge a person.

I like Adam song But there new stuff good I like it But thats my own opinoin not yours.

my younger brother is more mature and has more musical talent
