Thats my personal opinion that the punk that is popular today is shit.
And Deathblow, Punk in Drublic was released 10 years ago and is basically the same as Two Heebs but with better production values. It has some good songs and classics. So Long and Thanks for all the Shoes was released 8 years ago and had alot of ska. NOFX is great, but their sound is getting old. How many times do we have to hear about how bad the government is and/or funny lyrics.
What new bands out there are punk now?All punk is now is some genre with sub genres like any other genre. Not like before, where punk was punk. I dont call myself a punk because I was never was. I used to love punk music but I got bored.
And you forget Bigwig, and if people dont call them punk I dont know what punk is. I always thought punk music was about attitude and not how it sounds.
Did you not see the ''like you're some punk veteran''? Clearly not. Why do you people always misinterpret simple similes all the time?
Actually, it was released just over 7 years ago. And it's way better than Two Heebs, the songs were better, Fat Mike's voice is better, the guitar is much better (see Dig) and yes, the production values were better. So Long was released after Punk In Drublic, it's also just over 7 years old, and NOFX ska rules, so I really don't see your point there. And no their sound isn't getting old, like I said their latest album sounds totally fresh, loads of new instrumental, vocal and lyrical touches. And omfg, you just proved you know nothing about NOFX anyway, because War On Errorism (an album you clearly either don't have or have listened to like once), was their first political album. So no, you haven't heard them tell you how bad the government is over and over.
All punk is now is some genre with sub genres like any other genre.
I fail to see how that's a bad thing, or even how it has anything to do with this argument. Every genre ever created has spawned sub-genres.
I didn't forget Bigwig, see:
and one wannabe band who are more nu metal than punk.
Maybe so with the attitude thing, but if that was the case then Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine, System of a Down, Mr. Lif and any number of metal, alt rock & hip-hop groups would be classed punk, so in other words, no, it's not just about the attitude. It would be a ridiculous genre if that was the case. And you clearly don't know what punk is, so please just go back to your weak little Thursday emo bands.
