let's talk about punk rock, hardcore, everything under the punk rock umbrella.
PUNK ROCK
what do you define as punk rock?! everyone has a different interpretation these days.
Mmm. I'd jump in and say that it's awesome, and start listing a few bands, but I'm cautious about how widely, or narrowly, other people are going to define it.
the reason I ask is because like Country music -- there is really good and really bad country. before I get too emotionally invested in this thread I'd like to know what type of punk we are talking about...
When I was a teenager, I listened to these particular punk bands:
Mxpx
Frenzal Rhomb
Blink 182
Propagandhi
Good Riddance
Strung Out
Seraphs Coal
One Dollar Short (local band, got a bit of international recognition before disbanding)
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
I had bits and pieces of a few others which everyone else seemed to like but I never really got into:
Millencollin
Lagwagon
Dogwood
Ten Foot Pole
Green Day
Plus several others...
I still listen to some of the first group at times... Mainly Frenzal Rhomb, Good Riddance and Mxpx. I listen to Strung Out sometimes still, but the only album I really enjoy of theirs anymore is Twisted by Design and you can only listen to the same album over and over so many times before it gets old
.
I used to play drums in punk bands a bit as well... I learnt a whole lot from punk drumming. It really helped with my timing and building up my chops really early on as a drummer. Of course, you're limited in your development by the genre so you can't just negate the rest of your drumming and expect to develop quickly.
These days I listen to more laid-back and heavier stuff... Symphony X, Porcupine Tree, On the Virg, Dream Theater, Planet X, Shadow Gallery, Kamelot. I love well written, good sounding music as well as some simpler pieces, and I love SOME technical stuff. Punk music tends to get old really quickly for me these days.

Jeah but he doesn't mean that umbrella. He means everything what fits in the genre of punk rock.
I dont listen punk rock much, because I don't like the genre. I listen it sometimes, when it comes on the radio, but I shall never search for a punk song

Nice. I love Lagwagon. Saw their lead singer at a random bar in San Diego. My friend started heckling him because he was "covering" Lagwagon songs. He later was ashamed to realize he made a fool of himself.
The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first punk rock group. All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", though none of them were actually related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell show and disbanded. A little more than eight years after the breakup, the band's three founding members—lead singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone—were dead.
The Ramones were a major influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and the United Kingdom, though they achieved only minor commercial success. Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania. Recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now cited in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone lists of the 50 Greatest Artists of All Time and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only The Beatles. On March 18, 2002, the Ramones—including the three founders and drummers Marky and Tommy Ramone—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I saw a Youtube video of Avril covering Basket Case...quite possibly the worst cover I have ever seen. She's bad.
Avril isn't punk, and she's not good at it either.
She's just another 'alternative rock' act, just like all those faux-punk bands.

true -- she's SkaterGirl poser
recent bands i like is Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals. combining Pop-Punk/Melodic/Hardcore genre into their tunes. therefore their sounds are very fresh.
yea, but I can't stand their voices -- they sound like little girls or they are singing through an electric keyboard.
