I think that punk music sings against popular/mainstream culture.

The whole point of punk is to break away from the mainstream of musical
trends. Punk tends to affect the mainstream by means of related styles, like
punk-pop or ska-core or what have you, but in the past when punk itself has
begun entering the mainstream, it's died back again pretty quickly.

Mmm, I thought the whole point of punk was the DIY ethic.

RE#22 -- Tim Yohannon is the editor-in-chief of the punk periodical
MaximumRockandRoll. He is a loudmouthed jerk who through his strict editorial
control (of a supposedly free-thinking 'zine) seems to think he is the one
who decided what is "punk" and what is not "punk". It was a little joke.

Well, yeah, now that you mention it, everything does. Hmmm.
I can think of at least three different criminal activities with magazines
devoted to them...

Yeah, you take it right.
On chumbawamba: i just baught one of their CD's and actually listened to the
lyrics. I would say based on our discriptions of 'punk' so far, it qualifies.
There older music (they have been around professionally since 1982) is *very*
punk... very anarchisitc, very diy.

I actually haven't heard any of their music, but from what I've heard and seen
of the lyrics they seem to be at least moderately anarchistic still.

Actually punk has several periodicals: MRR, Flipside, and Punk Planet are
three that are quite readily available nationally. There are dozens of other
smaller publications, and thousands of 'zines dedicated to the ways and means
of that we have come to know as punk.

And there are also some stupid rivalries between those magazines, as I found
out from reading a couple issues of Punk Planet recently. There are
fundamentalists in punk these days, just like in Christianity.

Not Fundamentalist Christian Punk, just Fundamentalist Punk.
I.e. "so-and-so isn't REAL punk, but this other so-and-so is".

you know, like "Thou shalt pretend to hate everything,"
"Thou shalt not use more chords than the Sex Pistols," etc..
Ironically, some punk fans seem to be more narrowminded than
most about what music qualifies for their favorite genre..

re #41: pretty rediculous, huh? This is the "I will not like punk music if
it is liked by lots of people" crowd, i think.

I like punk rock. I burn one on my porch every night to keep the bugs away.
