Do you like Rap Music? Should i flame you for not being openminded to them? I give some groups credit.. such as "something corporate" where the vocalists are just that.. they sing.. in tune. Re-read my post.. and realise i said people who scream dont merit talent. If its all about the music.. and getting your message across.. then let me hear the message.. i cant decode the screams. Flame me for my opinion, and be just as close minded as you claim i am. Thanks to People Who could answer my post without picking fights. ~Rb2k1

i never meant my post to be a flame, and i never meant to be picking fights. sorry if i came off harsh... i'm just saying that by judging the entire genre of music based on the garbage you hear on the radio is wrong. the 5 bands that get on mtv do not represent punk music... people should look deeper into a genre before saying that its all screaming, or that its just a bunch of whiny boys crying over girls... that's not ALL punk music is. don't you guys get mad when people use sandstorm, or alice deejay to represent trance??? of course... there's more to a genre then the mainstream material.... you're all just scratching the surface of punk music, so don't form an opinion of it til you've really heard it...

Just like DJ Sammy and MOS "trance" compilations give trance a bad name. Also in response to that "drunk" comment, there is such a thing as straight edge punk/hardcore, with bands like Chain of Strength and Minor Threat who have songs about respecting yourself and not following the crowd. All I'm saying, basically, is you wouldn't want people to judge trance on a couple of crappy stereotypes, so don't judge punk when you don't know everything about it. My two cents. This isn't directed towards anyone in particular, just towards the general public.

sheeeit... that's exactly what i'm trying to say, =D...

i'm not really down with punk these days.... sum 41, blink, and stuff like that... but that's what people are judging punk music by... everyone go listen to some old school punk, operation ivy, bad religion, nofx, youth brigade.... check that shit out and THEN make an opinion about punk...

Might I remind you..most of the stuff you're judging your hate toward punk music is played on MTV? And MTV isnt real music. :P Punk owns, I like it as much as trance. I'm not talking about shit like Blink182 or whatever, I mean underground artists that none of you shits ever heard of. So stop juding things you know hardly anything about until you've heard real punk. Besides, people who listen to rap and punk may think the same way about electronic music. So flaming a genre you don't know anything about, and believe me you don't otherwise why would you spend time learning about it, just to say it sucks, makes you as just as closed minded as them.

Exactly! That's what I'm trying to point out. The shit you hear on radios and MTV is not real punk, but rather shit to make money off. And about the not following the crowd thing, hell yeah! I hate stupid fucks who just have to follow the trend and wear all the "Exco" shit or whatever, and the whole bling bling thing, it's stupid! I'm myself, I don't follow any trend or shop at expensive stores and wear exco, or wear what everybody wears or listen to Ja Rule or Nelly. I fit in the whole "skater or punk" group of people as most people tend to group us. So like TheTornado said, don't judge things when you don't know everything about it.



Whooooooooeyyyy time to eat pizza
