Heyyy i finally found some freakin time to watch the Punk Show on Muchmusic..... I never watch TV so forgive me. Seriously what ever happened to Erica Em?

Anyway i fancy the punk music from time to time and was excited to finally watch this Punk Show on muchmusic..... but much to my disgust... what the hell is punk come to! I couldn't stand it and i didn't have the option to fast forward! I just watched 10 or so bands of shit! They all sounded the same and all had the same stage moves. SHIT! and they all looked like mall jocks! nothing original.... Is there a ITT PETERSON SCHOOL OF PUNK that lays down the rules???

My record collection contains:
Black Flag.... Henry Rollins is the front man... and they sound like Black Flag! Nothing else sounds like them!
DOA... Joey shithead. DOA also a sound of thier own.
Clash... do i have to say anything here???
Subhumans Vancouver... Wimpy Roy!
Dead Kennedys... Jello and hell yeah DKS!!!
Bad Brains... holy shit this is intense.
Buzzcocks... new wave but very distinguishable.
Devo... new wave also... but sure as hell don't sound like anything from this planet.
blah blah balh cough cough. i could go on but i recon i'm showing my age as usual...

I recon i'll not turn on my TV again for awhile and stay down in this cold basement listening to my old records... cause it sure looks like PUNK IS DEAD today!

Don't you worry, this isn't the punk rock of today... You seem to know what the real punk rock is. The Punk Show is simply what the trendy kids think punk is. Don't let it phase ya! Punk rock is still alive and kickin! - Sun, 24 Sep 2006 2:58am

Yeah if I ever watch the "punk" show, sometimes I'm just like "what the hell is this band doing on here?". They have played Black Flag a few times... I watch it on occasion to catch the older bands but if they're going to play some shit band like From First to Last then there's gotta be a change in the show's title.... I prefer much loud anyways, they play Iron Maiden and Strapping Young Lad and stuff, sometimes... I haven't watched either show for ages though.. too bad I gotta wait until next week... - Sun, 24 Sep 2006 6:00pm

why are you watching MTV?
turn off the tv and go to a show to see some real punk, and check out the distro while you are there... You need to expand past the bands that every one knows, although many are great, like minor threat, crass, conflict, DK, and so on, but there is so much more too...

Come to october the 13 in Vic if you can that will be a great example of good real punk, not mallcore crap... - Sun, 24 Sep 2006 7:14pm

No, nothing is funnier than a bunch of twenty-somethings dissing a dude who has been into punk since, like, there was punk for not being up on the fake punk bands that teenage girls like, and not being troooooooo enough at the same time.

See you on the 13th for the Regulations to tear you a new asshole, Vorhees style. - Wed, 27 Sep 2006 9:46am

Bryn, there will be no violence at this show. Violence brings police, and that is the last thing the pitifully few all ager shows need. Feel free do to it down the road after the show, though. - Sun, 1 Oct 2006 8:41pm

Hey Indole, I'm pretty sure that Bryn was saying that The Regulations were going to tear everyone a new one musically, not that he was going to line everyone up and do it physically...

You know what? That's exactly what the Regulations are going to do. - Mon, 2 Oct 2006 6:50am

O.K.....

we have concluded there is a "shopping mall punk music for the masses".... as i become addicted to youtube and have watched insane videos by my favorites. Give me some names of some new bands to check-out punk.

-ericccaaa Emmmm

p.s. Fear live on SNL is on youtube.... i have wanted to see that for years. Also CHIPS the punk episode was fun to see again... although very cheesy. - Sat, 14 Oct 2006 4:34pm
