I know I like punk, that much I can say.... I just can't tell what is and what's not. So I wanna ask...
Is Papa Rouch, Disturbed, Killswitch, Lords of Acid, Pink, System of a Down, Punk?
Not a single one. You have mentioned bands from the metal, numetal, and industrial genres.
Anyway punk is pretty much dead again. All the new punk songs on the radio are about homework and parents. Pop punk may have killed off old-school punk, but this new-school punk makes me want to vomit.
And the fact that the punk trend is so marketable right now, what with Avril and all those other poseurs, is ironic considering the entire idea of 'punk' used to be 'fuck the man, fuck the corporations, fuck money, DIY'
