Oh.. im brainwashed by mtv then eh? Pretty interesting how I can be brainwashed by mtv when I have never had cable, and never seen anything on MTV.... interesting "theory" you've got there...

Either brainwashed or you live in San Diego the pop-punk capital where it is cool to like Blink because your friends cousins sister knows the bass player. How can you have never seen anything on MTV? Are you living in a cave or burrow of some sort?

Poink summed it up perfectly, also keep in mind that it is the labels fault for all of this. Remember that. They are the ones deciding what is going to get shoved down your throat.

Avril Lavigne has sold 5 million albums! 5 FUCKING MILLION! Can you believe that? Either the masses cant be wrong or the masses are completely retarded and lack taste. I lean towards the latter judging from current fashion trends and music video's I have seen lately. Meanwhile bands like System of a Down and Disturbed are LUCKY to make 1 million in unit sales. This is the reason we will get more of the same souless,plastic,ready-made,reach up under your skirt and grab your balls you pussy,corporate pop music. If people stop buying it, then it will stop- and that isn't happening. In fact its about the only kind of music people are buying nowadays. Most people just download what they want and rarely fork over the over-inflated cost of a CD. Did you know it costs exactly the same to produce either a cassette or a CD? The same costs, yet CD's run around 16 bucks?! The record industry is robbing the consumer(on variety and financially), ass-pounding the artists(without even a reach-around) and taking all the profits home for themselves. All so some fatback can get richer off stupid kids who think Good Charlotte is "emotional".

As a side note to any of you who are musicians- I was reading a drum magazine and there was a poll done last year where kids voted Travis Barker from Blink 182 the "best" drummer. That is too much. He is in a freakin PUNK band!!!! HELLLLLLOOOOO!!! Its not rocket science kids. I could play drums in a punk band and I am a guitar player/singer!! How about Danny Carrey from Tool? Stephen Perkins from Jane's Addiction? Abe Cunnigham from Deftones? Carter Beauford from Dave Mathews? Hell I guarantee that fat black chick from Kid Rock could TEAR UP Travis. But no, the Blink drummer is way better than all of them! yeah right. Dumb kids.

BigRed,

I wasnt going to jump on this thread, but now I have to.

I love all types of music, punk and hip-hop being my fav. Anyway it always seems everybody rips on punk and only seems to know four bands. That would be like me saying all metal sucks because I have only heard metallica, megadeath, System of a down, and slipknot.

Well if I dont like any of those four bands Im going to go around and rip on everyone who does, your just being ignorant, you are like everyone else, you judge based on minimal knowlage of a certain subject or event.

I agree some people are in this pop punk phase and jumping on the bandwagon, mostly 15-16 yr olds. But I have been listening to punk for about six years. Some of the pop punk is okay, others just suck and are shallow.

Travis barker is pretty damn good, the used is good, and tool is highly overated.

its just like trying to argue that black people are better than white people, they are just opinions, someones perception is reality, and its very hard to change someones reality.

It is so fucking gay, I see like 10 guys a day with crooked hats,super low baggy pants with their boxers puffed out and a red hurly shirt. Dont forget the obligatory "punk" belt.

I've dragged guys out of the bar unconscious and that shit always comes down around their ankles.

It's kind of embarrassing.

right then you can say metal heads wear stupid black shirts, stupid black jeans, ugly boots, and need to shower.

You can say hip hop people wear overly huge clothes and stupid jewerly, and you cant understand thier gangsta talk and they like big booties.

Punkers and skankers dont care what other people think aboot them, we are all dorks and like to have fun, or at least that goes for me and my friends.

 

[mylife]

avril lavigne is talented.


sk8r boi was a good song and so is 'I'm no girl'


i heard she has a song with nelly coming out that is supposed to be of the hizook.

i believe it's going to be called 'cold out herrr w/o u'

You have been listening to punk for 6 years? So what? I have been listening to Reggae,classical,punk,hard rock,classic rock,electronic,house,jungle,Hip-Hop,drum N' Bass, etc for 17 years. Does that make me an expert? Of course not, and I am not saying no punk is good, what we are talking about is POP-PUNK and its ensuing fashion movement, glassy shinny pop punk. Not quite the same as Black Flag or the Exploited. Old punk is a lifestyle, not a fashion statement rebelling against your 40's ish yuppie parents and your 3 bedroom home in the burbs.

Travis is pretty good but in direct comparison with someone like Danny Carrey he is a joke. Musicians dont like to compare their talents like a race but when you have a "best" contest you should be looking at someone who is technically the best shouldn't you? I have met Travis and seen him play as well as met Danny and seen him several times. No comparison. Punk is simple and that is not the problem I have with it. It is that it lackes any fucking balls! Not all of it but the bands we mentioned and those like them.

Tool is overrated? You sir, have your head up your ass? Where is Lestat when you need him?

 

[PoyeBoy]

yes sir, tool are over rated, what did they have like one god song?
metallica sucks ass, always have always will
Ozzy and led zepplin are the most played out rock bands ever

 

[BigRedCat]

OK, now I get it.
I was taking your seriously there, now I see you have no basis to have an opinion. Did you suggest those bands figuring I like them? haha. Led Zep is "played out"? Tool has one good song? You are certainly the musical historian. You and mylife can get a room and listen to Avril Lavigne over candle-light.
