I love a bit of punk music, but is it dead? I haven't heard anything game changing in a long time.

"I love a bit of punk music, but is it dead? I haven't heard anything game changing in a long time."

So what’s punk about? Tell me. You’ll find the answer in there somewhere. There’s more to Punk than a sound.

How the hair metal going, you know, your favourite sun category of music, the same one you didn’t know much about.

Have a read

It’s an idea. A support for humanity and calling out the bullies. Believing people are people regardless of race, belief, or origin.

So yes it isn’t dead. On the other hand, it’s never existed in you. Trying so hard to get something back that was lost the last time you tried trolling.

You do you. All stick with the good ones. Don’t get too lonely

Sure, that’s what you asked wasn’t it. Wait, oh no, you didn’t. So what are you trying to say Mr Bitter?

So...what you trying to achieve. Why’s it so important to try and belittle someone? Firstly, you need to know what you are talking about before you try calling someone out. Secondly, I’ll leave you with this

Trying to blow someone else flame out, will not, ever, make you shine brighter.

Sweet dreams, hope you can accept yourself for who you are so you can stop the bitterness,

But I’ll humour you. Anti Flag, Propagandhi, Agnotic Front, distruction unit, need more I can go all night.

Now. The previous message answer your question. This one answered the change in direction you made, unfortunately that depicts weakness.

So I’ve done what you asked. Now, I’m off to bed. Hope you find someone to accept you as you are, and more so, you accept others and try respect.

No, it's not dead.

I'll be going to HRH Punk later on in the year. Its normally a brilliant couple of nights of new and old punk.

In some ways it's evolved and become many more things that some classic punks might frown upon, but there is still plenty of bands out there.

These have all released something recently and I think are all a form of punk:

Idles

Strike Anywhere

Kill Lincoln

Anti-Flag

Suicide Machines

Be Well

No is nowhere near dead, it may not be mainstream anymore now it's 45 years on & all the trend followers & poser's are not into it anymore, but it is still alive & kicking, there are a lot of new bands along with some of the original 70's bands, there are still a few punk gigs going on (if there wasn't this virus) up & down the UK every weekend & Blackpool is normally full of punks the 1st weekend of every August for the 4 day Rebellion festival & that's where I normally am every year, there normally is 6,000 plus.

It's like if someone you knew from school moves to the other side of the world, Just because you can't see them or hear from them doesn't mean that their dead.

There probably doing very well & the only people who know that are the people are still interested who make the effort to find out.

so you can't dismiss something you have no interest in or take the time to look into.

Wow that was confusing!! I didn't understand the anger.

I don't think punk is dead. Things are ever evolving. The attitude with punk was a big fuck you to everything. I had a mate who was there when it all started and he said you could turn up in a three piece suit if you wanted. Just so long as you made your statement as that's what it was all about. No rules, no fashion etc.

Find the bands that say fuck you and mean it, then you have punk I'd say.

Also, the Kingcrows are a really good band to check out (not mine)

I remember being thrown out of school cos l completely covered my uniform in staples and paper clips, that would be around '72.Seems everyone at the time was pissed off about something, schools were single sex still then , youth clubs a joke, music was shite ,des oconner, val doonican ffs. Kids needed their own stuff, Nottm when l was 18 was brill, the Sandpiper in the lace market area had lots of bands that became famous, maybe someone could remember ,my memory is crap. Every one gobbing on everyone else ,british bulldog fights across the dance floor, smashing the place up ,dont know how we survived, punk always there in one way another, went mainstream l suppose for a while, all a blur to me ,what ruined it for me was the drugs, only tried it once, hallucinated, and threw myself off a fire escape when l saw l had a dustbin lid for a hand at end of my arm , thanks previous op for reminding me about Rebellion Festival, must go again though nowadays l dress like Hilda Ogden .

Funny that.

I think the spirit of punk moved on through Techno and came back with bands like Sleaford Mods and Sla\/es.

Not so much a sound as an attitude.

IMO, of course. I know there’s a modern pastiche.

Punk is definitely not dead.

Just before the first lockdown, the Alternative Festival at Butlins was ace with thousands of people attending, old and younger people. The bands including The Undertones, Angelic Upstairs, The Members were brilliant.

New band as well with lots of energy and the older bands with their experience putting on good shows. You also got the feeling that the band were pleased and wanted to play which doesn't always happen.

I've always loved punk.

Good Charlotte ain’t the best example I feel. Not the best of modern punk, offspring aren’t really that new, Smash by Offspring still today is one of my favourite albums, they have unfortunately lost their depth. But the offspring, Ixnay, Smash and ignition are incredible albums and Dexter is a remarkable human being. Professor, pilot, genius, and was a partner of a record label

Agree, but new sub categories are born. They sit in a genre. Blues, jazz, swing all influenced ska, but aren’t a subcategory of these. It influenced a new genre, if you follow

then punk is a sub categories of pub rock if you think that way because most 70s punk bands were just that amature pub rock bands so why not say pub rock is the main categorie ??

any way theres enough punk in this house with the rockabilly psychobilly ska blues swing country 60s garage and even gospel lol hubs has over 9'000 albums + 1000s of singles from his gig days lost count of cds well over 5000 i guess ... but we will still all think differently about what punk is...

You don't think punk was primarily a cultural movement? Ah right, your limiting it to just a sound... understood. I think others, like the person I quoted, were taking a more rounded view but I'll moderate my input down to the appropriate level if you want to start chatting to me about it. Sure, there are some bands which do punk music

You assume a lot. Read the thread, you’ll see it’s lesser about the sound and more about the belief/outlook on others. You brought it down to one single thing. People fighting for humanity, not doc’s, tartan and Mohawks...that was fashion, not sure why you are so demanding in your point.

Free world, free minds, freedom to be as you feel. It feels condescending, patronising and confrontational, but it’s misguided nonsense you’ve pushed.

Please get a feel for the conversation before saying it’s not just one thing when stating...well it’s one thing. No one else has done as you have.

If you don’t appreciate punk, say so. That’s cool. Then it’s said and done

The movement came after the birth of punk also. MC5 for example, read up, look at your dates. Even the Ramones came before the movement...move on

This, though we are not going to enter the antagonistic side of the debate. Punk was still around into the 8os, and still relevant today. Yes, its a music genre (and yes music genres evolve) More importantly its a way of thinking.

Look at our pics, spot the trousers, still going strong and doing new stuff after 43 years from when they were first bought

"Punk was over by 1977.

It’s cultural impact still resonates though.

This. Actual punk, the real deal cultural movement, wasn't meant to last. Anything after it is imitation or homage, or something else like punk-rock or whatever.

Real deal cultural movements were mentioned by anyone asides yourself. Punk is the topic, Punk

Look at our pics, spot the trousers, still going strong and doing new stuff after 43 years from when they were first bought

Not going to enter the antagonism... that's not very punk! Haha! Seriously though, I see punk as this eruption of energy which happened and ended, but which left that incredible legacy both directly through elements like the fashion (cool trousers!) and the sound, but also through the post-punk reaction and DIY culture which ensued. While you can pick out strands which continued, that original chaotic energy which was punk, seems to have ended in the late 70s.

So that’s punk to you, not what is punk. But you thought is that punks dead, because something you weren’t a part of doesn’t exist these days. What if I said it does, it’s just not fashionable. These people, beliefs and passion exist, just not in the media’s reporting due to fashion.

Punks not a thing to you, I see that. But that’s you. What is your music preference? Ideas and beliefs? Unlike yourself I allow you to think, express and support anything you want, because it’s for you, so I encourage it...Punks still alive

Kind of over chatting to you about it. You've got your narrow definition. I've got my broader cultural definition which encompasses your narrow definition. Clearly you can go on and discuss these things as you see fit. I was responding to a previous poster, not you. Good luck with your chat though

The threads about me my man. I’m PunkAintDead, believe me I’m very much into all that’s Punk. Search the negatives, my uncles band, John Peel adored them. I’ve been around it all my life.

You said it was purely a movement and energy. I objected to your “single minded words” I have openly throughout this thread stated the contrary. What’s your goal? Schooling people with your off target words.

Listen, if you want to cause friction, you are talking to the wrong guy. Your opinion is important to you, as are others. Ultimately what’s important is hearing as well as saying. What’s your music? Your outside ideas of your judgment on something is not to be forced on others.

Punks alive, the idea, they way of life and thought. Schools out dude, go rest. Next time you troll, bring facts and thought out perspectives.

Punks not your thing. Cool. You’re not mine, respect is, I’ve tried, you ignore it. So maybe try a different thread, one you can respect and actually understand

Ahhhh!!! It’s all suddenly clear. You’ve seriously got to move on. You’ve caused a argument with me many a time. Damn, and you still find it important to battle...then there’s me, who forgot all about you.

Ah right, I thought the thread was about punk... not some random dude from Bradford who's uncle was in a band. Understood

No friction from me. I was agreeing with another poster, and you came after me for some reason! I'm sure you'll note that I'm far from the only one who says punk died in the late 70s. It's a fairly common trope. Some say punk has died many times and been re-incarnated... it's an interesting debate, but a sophisticated one that is probably to be had with less aggressive posters...

Sorry mate, not sure what this means. I do remember one time you PM'ed me off the back of another thread and hassled me for a while, but it's against rules to go into that.

Yeah, sure. It’s against the rules to “try” and bully. So I’ll help. I’m going to nothing your words, is saddening your thirst to belittle...again, as before, it did the opposite.

Bye bye sweet child

Not sure if it is dead as nothing's come along to kill it like it killed pop, disco, and rock n roll at the time.

At least it was honest.

Personally I never got into it, although I appreciated it's energy and took in it's message but didn't identify or relate to the angst.

I witnessed the Bill Grundy interview as it was broadcast. It had shock value but still didn't grab me make me want to jump on the wagon.

With another 10 years of Tory goverment coming it might kick off again.

Very interesting read.

Obviously punk music isn't dead. It was just a controversial title to get the debate going haha

All music will live on as long people keep listening and it will keep evolving.

The personal attacks are absolutely disgusting.

Reminds me of Donny Tourette storming off the buzzcocks. Disgraceful behaviour.

If you think acting like that is punk then you are sadly mistaken.

"I love a bit of punk music, but is it dead? I haven't heard anything game changing in a long time."

We just bought Gary Crowley's punk and new wave. It's not new stuff but I gave it a listen and it's really awesome. I found a track on there I heard as a tweenie which brought back loads of memories

Indeed op and as for the personal attacks it’s best just to block report and ignore and let the mods moderate.

Best of luck.

Classic, they also invented dance music 2 years earlier with ‘Tomorrow never knows’, which still sounds like the future.
