I appreciate the reply. And might I ask if you also find it ironic that in disagreeing with the “punk” label, I’m being hive-mind downvoted by those defending the ideology and nomenclature of a movement that would stand against such behavior?
It’s almost as if these kids don’t get it. Which kind of makes my point for me.
No, what I’m saying is that in the 70’s, what we know now as “classic rock” was simply called “rock” music. I thought I explained this pretty well already.
Similarly, in the 70’s punk was called punk. What we have now that is calling itself punk- in my opinion, can’t be punk. Because punk WAS. Like how classic rock WAS.
There are no NEW classic rock bands. Ergo, there are no new punk bands.
Calling one’s self a punk band doesn’t make it a punk band. And again, find me a band on bandcamp that describes themselves as a classic rock back writing new material.
It’s a failing on your behalf for resorting to petty insults because you don’t like someone’s opinion. And for the record- it’s people like you that are driving people back to Reddit. Because when people see that they can’t post their opinions without being insulted by people who can’t accept that others think differently- they go back to places like Reddit- where even though there are even more people like you there-
At least there’s more content to enjoy.
Going to block you now as you clearly have nothing of value to offer any future discussions I might find myself in.
And I said in my original comment that this is my opinion. I’m not going to apologize because it bothers you. If you don’t like it or agree, you’re free to move along. No one is forcing you to debate this.
You’re not getting my point. Classic rock wasn’t called classic rock when it was new. No one in the 70’s were calling Pink Floyd a classic rock band. They were just a rock band.
Punk (music) was a thing that happened, not a thing that IS happening.
lol…. They’re essentially fighting a holy war. The IDF is just the military wing of a religious based government. So while they themselves may not be a “religious group” like how the American navy isn’t a religious group- they’re defending their country’s government which is involved in a holy war.
I’m 51 years old, you clown. I remember these bands when most of them were still touring- and was at a Pink Floyd show as a child back in 81’. I have MANY first edition vinyls from a lot of them as well.
The fact that you came out missing so hard on such a big swing- shows how much you’ve yet to learn about talking to people you know nothing about.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve always looked at punk (the music, not the ideology) as a thing that was, not is. Similar to classic rock. As in… there are no new classic rock bands. No one says, “hey. I’m forming a classic rock back and we’re writing all new material!”
Punk was The Ramones, The Dammed, The Sex Pistols. Black Flag, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, etc.
Just like how classic rock was Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, BOC, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, etc.
Again, many will probably disagree, but this is simply an opinion on the matter.
No, I was asking to see if there was else here that felt the same way. What people like YOU seek are echo chambers. Because you’re only here to argue with me because I disagree with whichever side you’ve chosen.
You must have missed the part where I explained that. Let’s try again and see if this helps. So, what I was was:
Can I get a show of hands from the people that think in a larger picture…. BOTH sides in this conflict are the bad guys?
Hmmm…. It seems I was asking to hear from people that think there’s enough evidence and history to suggest that BOTH sides have been bad guys in this. Now, clearly, one with a decent enough reading comprehension skill, present company excluded- would extrapolate from this that I wasn’t looking to have people crying about how “my side is the good guys tho!”
Because no one calls it “classic punk.” Greed Day and Black Flag are NOT the same type of music.
