If conservatives want to rip it off, then they can call it something else, I think that is what corporate rock is actually. Not sure though, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Pretty close. You could add white supremacist punks and fascist skinheads to that group, too, aka skrewdriver.

Ramo,

Nazi punks, **** off.

I love the kennedy's they rule, but now they broke up, and sold out.
I want to form my own band called the Ted Kennedy's.

Interesting how Phillips from the Dickies said that punks should be willing to listen to all ideas and not censor anything, and then ****kerry @ gopunk says:


Practice what you preach 1st?

It sounds like Phillips is consistent, and so is **** kerry. They just aren't consistent with one another. But they do seem to practice what they preach.

Punk music blows and should be left to the losers on the left who love it so. They can have rap too.

Punk Music:
Cars
Blondie
Talking Heads
The Ramones
Suicide
Television
Nirvana
Elvis Costello
The Clash

And so on. Punk is an attitude, not a style. DIY, baby, DIY.

it's a style, too, che. can't escape it.

i don't see the problem with someone who enjoys "punk" music voting for bush. besides, "punk" music has been bastardized into thousands of sub genres, none of which are what "punk" started out as. too many bands jump on the "punk bandwagon" these days,

They were one of the original bands that played at CBGBs. They opened for the Ramones at a regular gig.





edit: switched Ramones fo Television.

NEW WAVE, che, NEW WAVE. It's a style. It's no more an 'attitude' as rock and roll is an attitude.

The early punks were all consistent that punk was an attitude and not a style.

[Tiamat]

Attitude and style. I still have a scar in my nose from the safety pin I used to wear.

New wave didn't exist yet. New wave split from punk later, just like electronica, goth, psychobilly, and a number of other musical genres. In 1976, it was all just punk, though Hilly Kristal did try to call the whole movement New Wave, that name didn't come to be associated with the particular style of music played by the Talking Heads until the 80s.

Punk music arose from a couple of sources. One, the degeneration of popular music into Carpenters-esque crap and rock into over-produced pompous mega stage productions. Two, in NYC, you only covers-bands could get a gig. The original punk music was nothing more than people writing and performing their own tunes, playnig at the one club that would allow them to do it, CBGBs. That's why such a disparate range of styles of music were gloomed together in one music movement. It was called punk because it was made by a bunch of punks.

Only after Malcom McLaren got his hands on it did it become what we today consider punk.

Ah yes... so everything was punk . Please. New Wave takes more from disco than it does The Clash.
