And that is just straight up pathetic. Good Charlotte (I think they're ok) & Blink 182 (they fell off big time) are pop, Pennywise and the Distillers rule (they don't talk about people breaking up with them and all that other pussy stuff)!! And there are many more bands that rule and deserve to dress hardcore.And on a further note, yes, I do live in a white suberb. And I am a white kid.WHAT? I don't like Good Charlotte because I don't like their music, don't like Blink because I never liked their music it's not about hating Punk as a genre but there is always someone...like yourself... that rants about people writing off a whole genre because they don't like a popular band. It's not that We are all saying Punk as a genre sucks, because some of those break up songs are pretty dope IMO but a lot of that popular shit that is being played on MTV I can't stand, not because I am a punk officianato(SP?) but because I hear it and personally am not feeling it. Chillin' at my homies house a song may come one and I may like it, soemtimes it is some stuff from mainstream bands sometimes it's not or it is a different version of the song ie. Dashboard Confessional's Hands Down(acoustic).Ultimately it's about lyrics IMO.Oh, well in that case, never mind.

people that dress "punk" are escaping the norm. Kinda like hip hop was for alot of young people back in the day. Punk and Hip Hop have alot of similarities

I was referring to the real punk heads...they are escaping the norm most of them are just tagging along tryna be cool and this and that.Look at the history of Punk and look at the history of Hip Hop.

most of the bands that have been mentioned in this thread is Emo not Punk. so Punk is still the minority.

but yeah, all that punk stuff is bullshit
