[QUOTE=JamesBaum7747;24697276] True punk is dead. Has been for since before we were born. Pop punk is all there is worth listening to if you're in the punk scene. Ska bands, punk bands, alternative bands. Its all pop now. Some indie is still tight but its just the time we live in. No shame in it. [/QUOTE] as a great man once said "Just because you liked Budgie doesn't mean you have to listen to Mastodon!" There are plenty of great punk bands still around, don't say there aren't just because you CBA to look. Paintbox (JP) is a great example. [editline]11:04AM[/editline] [QUOTE=strayebyrd;24709348]I really think that Gallows capture the spirit of punk more than anyone else, Punk ain't dead.[/QUOTE] disagree, but fairly close I suppose

Anti-Flag is pretty punk. :colbert:

Their music is ok ish but I love them live. Great show!

Back on topic to Green Day please, anyways, anyone like Green Day's acoustic songs?

yep basically, I wasn't very 'music savvy' back in my green day phase, sadly. Some of the other songs on Kerplunk really sound like I should have given them a listen [editline]10:56PM[/editline] also their very first few live performances have a really nice sound

It has a few really shitty songs too so I only stick to the very very first album which I don't think has a single well known song on it lol [editline]11:50PM[/editline] even then I've only listened to it once

Green Day was sick up until American Idiot. Green Day + guyliner = :zombie: Not to mention every 13 year old girl knew all the lyrics to Boulevard of Broken Dreams. straight.

Does anyone else acually agree with me that Green Day suck?

[QUOTE=Haz :);24959251]Does anyone else acually agree with me that Green Day suck?[/QUOTE] You probably think they suck from all that you've heard by them. I used to think AFI was huge shit but then I listened to their first album and it wasn't that bad.
