What's a guy whose current kick is 30's and 40's music supposed to do? Where's our advice section? Does no one care about the elderly these days? :mouldy:

dime-a-dozen emo and goth kidsWhew, I guess I'm safe, as I don't even know who or what "emo" is. Sounds like a doll that was a fad a couple Christmases ago.
;D Got into a verbal spat with a 18+/- yr old punk/goth/emo(just not sure) at Starbucks, after he exclaimed there we too many "norms" sitting here.
He got a really distressed look on his face when I told him I had a pair of Dr. Martins exactly like his, while I was in high school... in 1983!!! He then said he dresses as he does to be different from others, while sitting with 4 male and female carbon copies of himself...:confused2
I was about to tell him I could find at least a dozen "different" people just like him around the mall this Starbucks was attached to, but my friend told me to stop playing with my food!;D

California Punks are just that Punks, they have no idea what the bands they listen to stand for, and if they do it is only because they read it in a book and didn't actually experience it. These kids are the ones who piss me off. they think there book knowledge is going to get them buy in life and they just keep regurgitating the same info... when are they going to learn...?
The worst part is most of them are rich kids who have had everything they have ever wanted…. But yet the complain that they have the worst life ever. Just $%^&$ grow up!

Punk started in the 70's, as a counter-culture with attendant music. The music attracted many people who had no interest in the attempted culture. It was my opinion that the music was made by people with limited artistic ability and very little in the way of musical skill, both voice and instrument. I thought the 'culture' was people with drab lives looking for a purpose. I think the only punk band I liked was Devo, and only in small doses. "Punk" today? I have no idea what it is and probably won't even recognize it as compared to the 70's and early 80's Punk.

I drove past a concert venue in Albuquerque a couple of weeks ago, and I almost drove off the road I was laughing so hard. The band's name was "Bullet for my Valentine" or some such. But the string of people lined up around the corner were all wearing black. Every single effing one of them. Different, like everybody else.
I wanted to put on something really colorful and stand in line ;)

I never tried to be punk. I listened to the music but never portrayed myself as a true punk...

You can't "try to be punk" because that isn't punk. You either are or you aren't. Punk isn't about your dress code. I have more punk in my pinky finger than half the kids with liberty spikes and a Clash t-shirt.

Punk was more of a movement.. .I know this. Just because I was born in the 80's doesn't make me clueless of the 70's and 80's many of the Punk bands that lead this Punk movement were still very much around when I was young and my older sisters were all into it. Still to this day a few of the oldies still linger and play shows that are usually sold out... Music had been my life and still is in away I am just glad I got out of where I was headed...

uh how would you know?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauterize -> punk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink182 -> punk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashboard_Confessional -> Indie Rock Emo
as for Bullet FMV, they're a MetalCore as described by wikipedia.

unfortunately, the original punk, was way before i was born. so i guess if you're attempting to be politically correct this is "neo punk"
you spoiled the fun you know.

Wiki articles aren't written by music critics.
I still don't get emo, but I also don't get Scientology. WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!?!!

Wiki articles aren't written by music critics.
Music criticism is an opinion. Anyone can be a music critic. Period. Some people are just obnoxious enough to get paid for it.

I think we need to have some strict rules for all types of music. Groups should be forced to pick a style from an approved list, then rigidly adhere to it, as approved and defined by a government-appointed arts panel. No more of this experimenting with different sounds, crossover crap, etc.
Teh Punks shall play teh Punk, and not the Barbershop Quartet harmony.
Teh Elvis impersonator shall not singeth teh Sinatra.
Neither shall teh hillbilly singeth teh Opera, nor teh fat lady crooneth teh Country.
Disco is right out of teh question.
For as it hath been written, so let it be done. :respect:
I wouldn't really consider Dashboard punk though.
