Would you shut the **** up, Patrick? To be honest, your taste in music is as shitty as the toilet paper a black man uses to cleanse his ass. Now get the **** out before I come to your house and rape you with knives and other pointy objects. I do know where you live, and as you know, I live 1 hour from you.

Best posts award! : D ^ ^

Well, it's all about people's taste ZT. This here is a pretty decent American pop-punk group, and there are some people who do like them. You can't just insult a band just like that. They serve their purpose of giving quick and easy music to young teeny-boppy people, or to people who like pop-punk in general.

And stop being racist Shamrock, you're insulting your beloved Will Smith!

The 3 of you don't live too far from me.

</retarded teenage bullshit>

A girl at work got me into Forever the Sickest Kids recently. I'm really digging their CD.

 

[JNightshade]

I side with ZT. These guys are f*cking terrible.

Agree 100%.
They remind me of Panic At The Disco! without the catchiness.

Yes, but it's a stupid term, and though it may have some internet classification (!) it's still wrong through-and-through to stick the word pop in front of a term such as punk. It's... well, it's pretty offensive.

Pop-rock is more appropriate. Punk was and never will be about making quick and easy music to appeal to a large crowd, so there's no way you can think that the term pop-punk, in any way, is a good genre name.

(FYI, this bands music does nothing for me but it's nothing to do with the terms/genre, I just don't like it.)

You're right in a way, because I don't get it at all. How did modern contemporary "punk-rock" as it is labeled today even get the name of punk in the 1st place? I mean, as you say, real punk is like The Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Jam etc. etc. Both of them, as in the real punk rock and today's punk rock sound completely different. Yet, they still keep the anti-establishment idea of spiked coloured hair, the overall dark look etc. Nowadays, you get bands like Blink182, Yellowcard, Bowling for Soup, and they still keep that "look", only thing is, they are mainstream, appealing to the bigger audience. Is the similar "looks" the reason why such rock music is referred to as punk as well. Or maybe, it's because, these are American bands, which make music related to hardcore-punk (yes, it's a genre), that's why they have a similar genre name yet a diff sound.

Punk - or any self-respecting music - is not about image. Yes, the usual, typical look that accompanys the punk stereotype, with thanks to the media, is the denim jackets and mohawks, but in the real sense of things, that's nothing. Compared to the real, outspoken and well voiced punk scene, from The Clash to Black Flag, the image of punk is something really unimportant, and it has been ever since. Tripe like The Sex Pistols unfortuantly started it, then a million better bands said ''no, this is stupid, here's some real punk''

The term pop-punk, whilst stupid, makes half sense but is still stupid in it's own right. The pop element. Punk was something you built up from your own opinions, thoughts, ethics and morals against... well, whatever... let's be typical and use war for example. It was something you felt strongly about so you made a band to poke fun at it, or just voice it in such a way that others may become interested and do some reading into the subject themselves. At least that's whats happened to me over the years with politics and whatnot anyway, but regardless, the term pop-punk usually divides between the real opinionated and from the heart punk to this other form of music that doesn't have much interesting to say, but brings with it the typical punk instrumentation which everyone knows (simple use of chords, structure, shouted vocals, fast-tempo, etc etc)

To me, however, punk was never about it's instrumentation. I've said this recently in the Rancid thread and maybe it's just me, but hardcore punk or the real lasting, memorable bands from back then did well simply because they had something interesting to say. You look at 90% of pop-punk, however, and you hear a bunch of teenagers talking about girls, skateboarding, having fun or whatever else. That's fine, yeah, but it isn't in your face, it isn't satire, it isn't tongue-in-cheek, it isn't political, it isn't raw, or opinionated... it's just, having fun and playing in a band. Again, totally fine but to slap the word punk on it... no way, that's just the media catching on to the typical punk instrumentation and splashing it around a bit.

But maybe I'm alone in thinking punk is important for the lyrics, maybe not, who knows? That's what I love about music - so many different paths in and around different forms (though, overall, I prefer to just sit and listen; ranting and analyizing is just something else I do secondary to enjoying music)

^I was about to basically say this.

 

[Bad^Hat]

I refuse to believe it takes six people to make... that.

 

[kineaesth]

Yeah, very poor.

Good MySpace layout, though.

Maybe.

Hmm.

I HEARD THAT NIN IS ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD BAND, BUT THIS BAND IS NOT REALLY THAT GOOD. THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.

Oh, shit, caps.

Steady now. Contrasting opinions? DEVILRY!

Theres no need to get arsey to the people that don't enjoy this band just because you do.

True to that, we aren't taking away anything from you. We shouldn't be taking away from your experience to enjoy the bands you like, all we are doing are stating our opinions on the music, and some people are stating their opinions on the pop-punk title (Which, actually thinking about it now, is kind've an oxymoron.)

Seconded.

NiN is ****ing awful. I mean, there is no worse band than NiN. Maybe Radiohead because they remind me of NiN, but seriously, every ****ing song they release sounds like shit every time.

I hope Trent Reznor comes back to Mercer so I can kill him. Go play some good ****ing music you whore.
