Any of you phuckos here partake in listening to this particular brand of music? It's quite enjoyable. I have no problem admitting that I listen to Blink 182(new album great BTW), or Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, etc. In my opinion, bands actually get better when they are more commercially appealing. I wasn't a fan of Blink 182 until 'Enema' came out and thhey became worldwide stars. Hardcore 70s-80s punk is too loud and angry for me, so adding some pop to it really helps.
Also, is the term 'emo' familiar with anyone? I mean, then again, I do own trucker hats, wear Atticus and Hurley t-shirts when I haven't even ever stepped on a skateboard, wear wrist cuffs and on and on.
Yeah dude, I love all of this stuff. If I didn't, I wouldn't be cool, and everyone knows we are really cool, right? I mean, fuck, if they don't know that, fuck. Fuck! We have to remind them, E-Snizz!

To hell with emo. It's the downfall of all that is decent. Everytime I see a guy with the tight rolled-up-to-the-ankle jeans, black-dyed hair, a sweater with a collared shirt under it, some vintage shoes, and those thick-rimmed Lisa Loeb glasses, I think, "How can you stand dressing like everyone else?" Not to say I hate emo people, it's just their style is so fucking lame. I went to my friend's birthday party, and one of my other friends started yelling her name. When he couldn't find her, he said, "Dammit, well maybe if they all didn't look the same." And I couldn't help but laugh and think how true it is. But it's just another fad, I guess I can't complain, at least it's not goth.
As for pop punk, sure I think Blink 182 can be hilarious, like "Happy Holidays You Bastard" that song is fucking awesome. Otherwise, Green Day is the only punk I listen to.
None of you know what you're talking about. All of this stuff is cool and fun to play just like eward says. Gamblor, Green Day is punk fucking rock it's crazy! They are a little too old for my tastes though, viva Blink!
Special note to "Shut Up" off Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" for it's unique and witty lyrics. Take a listen.

Wait, I'm confused, are you commending or criticising me? I can't tell :-D
I remember when Enema of the State came out. I loved it so much. It was genius to me at the time, and I had never heard anything so good in my life. Well, as time went on, I started to think I was too cool for them. As soon as an older cousin of mine, who I greatly admired, started putting them down for being "sellouts" and the like, I decided I would hate them too, so I joined the bandwagon, and burned my cds. Like...with fire burn them. Somehow Enema remained in the collection, though, and I decided to give it a listen a few weeks ago. What I found there was not the amazing album it was when I first heard it, but just a decent collection of catchy poppy tunes. And there's nothing wrong with that. They're not anything groundbreaking, and not that complex intellectually or structually (god im a snob) but I think they have some good stuf. But I do remember buying Take of Your Pants and Jacket. I absolutely hated that album and still do. It lacks the spirit that Enema had, defenitely.
But seriously, they're worth another listen if you ever started randomly hating them...(try "anthem" but not "anthem part two")
sure they're immature, but they never really strived to be much more than that (except on take of your pants and jacket, where they seemed to want to be considered as a serious group but also have their brand of poo poo boobies and weiner jokes acting as filler).
the groups that follow them are a different story for me...I remember seeing Good Charlotte at Warped Tour. they played one year right before flogging molly (who are fucking great, btw) and were just terrible....simple plan makes me wanna vomit.
their song "perfect" is a pop-country song in punk's distortion. transpose the guitar riffs to fiddle. that " i try hard to make it " part has a nice reverby country riff...the melody in the chorus reminds me of some tim mcgraw tune. and, yes, the lyrics are has horrible as "concrete angel" (which i reccomend you download...it makes me laugh...alot)
i feel like GT
::grabs four black markers::
good charlotte..is bad but- if i was 15 and just got braces and went roller skating and still ate cinamin toast crunch cereal and made sure i smoke menthal cigarettes and drank zima ..I would think there were better and will be remebered more than zeppelin..
blink 182..i have always thought they were kninda not good and really cheesy..and something that the people that call in on TRL and use to watch mtv's loveline would really get into..bu tthats not my style....But word on the street is that tthe new blink is actually good :shock: i have heard they matured into a real band instead of a male counter-part to avril lavingne...

Jb...where's the thread for music, so sloth can upload a song for us???
Blink (insert # here, they didn't start that by the way) used to be pretty good and enjoyable, now it's all just mediocre.
Good Charlotte? booooo
Pop-punk was good for a while until it got too defined and now it all sounds like Blink 182, even Blink 182 started just sounding like the bands that try to be Blink 182.
Um... I like The Buzzcocks, which is both poppier and punkier than any of this fifth-string, submental stuff out now. I'm no purist, by any means, but I really hate Blink-182 on their own merits. I also think emo is entirely overrated; where are the songs, tunes, melodies?!?!
The only really interesting current "punk" band I can think of is Sleater-Kinney.

Yeah, very funny.
pop punk sucks....

Yet....this statement comes from a Kid Rock fan, everyone...

I don't listen to any of that stuff.
Tha Vandals are the only punk I listen to, and, of course, the Sex Pistols.
"It's alright to tell me, what you think about me" -Blink 182
Yes...i can see the pure brilliance in blink 182's lyrics...
The Offspring are a guilty pleasure for me, i suppose, although they only had two maybe three decent albums, but it ends there with the pop punk bands....although my friend is in one, so i suppose i like them.
Good Charlotte is, to me, the quintessence of poseur. While I can manage to like some pop-punk, Good Charlotte just annoys me. They were just a group of guys who went shopping at Hot Topic, gave themselves a name, and suddenly they're millionaires.
Some pop punk I like comes from, Mest.
New Found Glory, until the whining sound of his voice starts ringing in my ears.
And of coarse, the kings of the coined Pop Punk genre.
Greenday
chris
on a side note: one thing i do commend the pop punk genre for doing is good cover songs
99 Red Balloons- my favorite
Some bands, that I suppose are defined by some and most everybody to be in the punk category, are not there in my mind. They were, and then every suburban kid with a really expensive guitar they got for christmas from daddy, and their angry friends started a band and became famous. Now bands like Greenday, for example, are in no category at all because bands like Good Charlotte shame them.
AND WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT REMINDS ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I FUCK'N HATE ANGRY SUBURBANITE FUCKERS, BECAUSE THEY FUCK'N RUINED WOODSTOCK!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, the conversation just reminded me of that horrible, horrible day and I had to let that out.
Suburbia rocks. :-D
I appreciate the mall punk movement because it is showing how unrebellious it is to dress the punk fashion. I've been saying this for years and am finally getting validity.
But, for some reason, I can't help but download lillix songs off search engines. Guilty (fucking) pleasure........
Pop Punk is disgusting. Basically its just the wave of popular rock that is in that the time. and the music industry rides the waves until everyone involved has drowned. Starting in the 90's it was grunge. Then Alternative, then Goth Rock, Now "Punk". I like to call this crap Mallcore. because all the kids that listen to it hang out at mall and slit their wrists because mommy and daddy won't buy them that porshce. I personally hate these bands like Simple Plan or any of the cookie cuttter shit that is spit out. The lead singer of Simple Plan looks like a giant little kid. And they all wear dickies and shorts, in the middle of winter? Maybe if they had any talent as musicians they wouldn't suck so much but since they fit what is "in" right now they are popular?

Though I agree that simple plan is really vomitous, your commentary on the listeners of pop-punk is a little exaggerated, dontcha think? what music do you like? hopefully it's nothing mainstream....god i hate that cookie cutter shit that is spit out.

Of course what I said was supposed to be hyperbole to an extent. Most people just listen to music to have fun. In regards to what I listen to, I dont' really listen to anything mainstream currently. There are so many good bands that go unnoticed though because they don't fit in the current fad of what is good. My favorite band of all time the Beatles even fit into the cookier cutter syndrome at first in regards to their appearance but they grew from that to become one of the best bands in music.
SUM 41 DOGGED BY CONTROVERSY
SUM 41 are being sued for throwing a hotdog at a man during a baseball game.
Michael Sudore has filed two lawsuits, seeking damages of $6 million. He is claiming they taped the incident without his permission, and included it on 2002's 'Does This Look Infected?' DVD.
Sudore, owner of a home improvements business, says he was told about his appearance in the DVD by a client, whose child had asked him about the incident.
According to lawyer H Todd Bullard, Sudore's business has suffered, and he has experienced trauma due to the band's actions, reports MTV.
"He believes his reputation has been tarnished, obviously," said Bullard. "And in addition, it's continued damage each time they sell one [of these DVDs]. Not to mention the humiliation. They picked him out because of his distinct look and pelted him with a hot dog, then surreptitiously taped him and his reaction, and not in the most flattering way."
The band, who often feature pranks on members of the public in their videos, have not commented or responded to the lawsuits at present.
