Is there anyone besides me loving Punk-Rock?
Yeah, nowadays, I find that less people love Punk-Rock as I do. Even though I like more the 2nd wave, we can also talk about the first. Like Ramones, Sex Pistols, the Clash, etc.
Now, the second wave, is composed mostly by Blink 182, Yellowcard, Sum 41, Green Day (not the gay songs that pass by on the radio), NOFX, Bowling for Soup, etc. :P
to be honest our days there aren't too many punk-rock bands there are LOTS of pop-punk
i can't even count on my fingers how many identical bands there are
I mean Look if you search on lastfm a band like.. let's say Valencia you'll find another 20 bands JUST LIKE THEM
IDENTICAL!
and i'm sick of that! in my country [Romania] it's a new wave with ex-pop-sters and r'n'b-s
who started suddenly to dress THE SAME and listen the exact bands [who,by the way,are identical] and they pretend to be punk :|
ok I'm not saying I'm a punk-ass 'cause i know I'm not because I listen to SOME of those new wave bands :(( but I also like NOFX and Rancid but recently I'm heading to the alternative branch ... and hardcore But still FOB is my fav band and that's because they LITERALLY changed my life and conceptions And I can't find a band with a sound like their xD
they've got a lot of jazz influences which is great!
so... punk? NO MORE no more real punk left
alternative is dead too :(( I mean people don't listen anything else than Muse or The Killers
but what about The Receiving End OF Sirens? The Dear Hunter? Cooper Temple Clause? Our Lady Peace? Head Automatica? Anberlin? Black Rebel Motorcycle Club?
They are not my fav band anymore, and I don't love them as I used to, but that's because I started to open my mind to some new stuff (I mean, what I listen is not new, at all! But for me, it is a little).
I used to be FOB's nº1 fan. Everyday I searched for something to feed my imagination about them, and stuff. But, they are not good! But still, I love them! Not as I used to, but yeah! I love them.
But now I also love some other GREAT bands, and some other crapy bands... But that's life!
