Any one listen to real old school punk: The Casualties, Circle Jerks, The Adicts, Mistfits and psychbilly: The Horrorpops, The Creepshow, Tiger Army, Zombie Ghost Train?? we are 138
I listen to more modern punk, rise against, senses fail, green day, but if I had complete freedom of style, I would definitely dress punk.
I'm not dressed like typical punks or psychobillies, but the music is good. But I'm not so much into this old school punk stuff, I listen more to modern punk. I like Psychobilly The Horrorpops are awesome Other bands I like are Demented Are Go and Nekromantix.
How can you have a punk thread and not mention The Sex Pistols or The Dead Kennedys? Shame on you all~!
Yep, I love old punk: MDC, Dead Kennedys, TSOL, Flipper, Crucifucks, Buzzcocks, Butthole Surfers, Crass, Reagan Youth. Was a great era in music! There seemed to be a lot more to rebel against, in that dark era of Reagan/Bush. And also psychobilly/rockabilly: I especially loved The Cramps: got to see them a few times before Lux Interior (lead singer) passed away; amazing shows. Hasil Adkins was also a lot of fun, RIP, Hasil. I still have a punk flair to my look, never gave that up, never wanted to have to look all 'professional', whatever that means! I see a guy in a business suit, and immediately, my defenses go up, like he's a businessman or political con-artist who wants to screw me over somehow, and get my money/vote...To me, 'professional' looks make me think you're some kinda scammer, and not to be trusted...
When I was younger I loved Punk. I was totally obsessed, never liked the Misfits or Ramones, say what you want, but music evolves over time and I don't have to auto enjoy bands that pioneered something and don't follow "rules" of enjoying genres of music The distillers [youtube]nFuP9FXLF8Q[/youtube] Social Distortion [youtube]_NWjehpGSO0[/youtube] The Clash * THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SONGS OF ALL TIME, MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. Most people know the riff from MIA's song, and I actually don't mind that version either that song has a lot of meaning [youtube]bkyCrx4DyMk[/youtube] Rancid [youtube]uQuAL7kCgLk[/youtube] and The Transplants; by far was my favourite band when I was younger, like favourite overall band [youtube]I9lWfAemdNg[/youtube] There was a lot more this is all I can remember. Fucking loved Dj by Transplants when I was a kid like so much, it reminds me of my childhood so much. SO much different than what I listen to mainly; hip-hop and electro. Everyone's godda grow. ---------- Post added 8th Jan 2015 at 04:01 PM ---------- I'm similarily biased towards professional looks. To me I feel they just aren't individuals and most likely wouldn't get a long with me. I'm very eccentric and don't take myself too seriously, so anyone that looks like they take themselves seriously, seriously turns me off. I liked Punk look because it was non-conventional and sort of shows you that we don't all have to look the same. I think it'd be pretty cool if more people dove into Punk fashion, it's so much more versatile, and says so much more about your personality than a suit and a tie. I think Hip-Hop actually is very similar to Punk in this. Most hip-hop musicians aren't actually into fashion, and hate the idea of everyone looking the same. Same shit 10 years ago I'm doing today And 10 years from now, so don't ask how or even why B-boy for life, fuck a suit and a tie Cuz I'll know I made a difference on the day that I die Aiyyo, I b-boy for life so fuck a suit and a tie [youtube]jiWvfid9GQs[/youtube]
