PUNK ROCK WILL RULE THE EARTH!
| 
Feb 26 19:31 UTC 1994 |
As any educated nice person knows, I have 'punk dude' under the occupation
Heading of my plan. I like punk. I want you all to savor punk with me. Punk
could very well be the greatest music of all time. Tell me what you like about
Punk. Tell me who your favorite punk artists are. I want to hear. (P.S.: even
if you didn't know I was a 'punk dude', I won't hold it against you. Just
respond. Thank you.)

Is this a joke? How do you define punk? Do you listen to punk because
you like the way it sounds or simply because it is punk? While I enjoy
a lot of music that could certainly be considered "punk", I would like
to think that there is more to it than a classification. Let us allow
punk rock to remain a form of rock and roll instead of turning it into
the next "alternative". If you like punk, that's cool, but have no
illusions; you are not better than anyone else merely because of the
music you listen to or the clothes you wear.

I listen to music I like. Maybe it's some sick coincidence, but MOST music I
like happens to fall under the classification of 'punk'.

I guess so...I don't know, I guess I've just seen so much of this
punk craze that it's become sort of annoying.

Possibly, Dave. I do like all kinds of music, but lately, I've been really into
Hardcore punk (Black Flag, Negative Approach, Dead Kennedy's, Exploited,
etc...). I guess that there is a pretty big 'punk' craze, and it does become
sort of Jeez, I hate this item.

D'oh! Any way, as I was saying, lots of kids and a few adults still listen to
old punk like the Sex Pistols (though personally, I don't like them very much)
and bands like the Ramones, Black Flag, and the Circle Jerks. There have been
some subcatagories of punk (if your categorizing) like Oi, I guess. I'm not
really sure if oi is really a punk hybrid. I guess I'm just a loser.

D'oh! My parents told me I was too young to go to the lab until, one night,
they said I could go. THAT WAS THE NIGHT IT CLOSED DOWN. It really pissed me
off.

I am reminded of when the neighbors came over to complain we were playing
the Sex Pistols album too loud. This was, um, 17 years ago.
Ah, nostalgia.

The Lab was great. I don't listen to too much of the original "punk"
bands mentioned above. One favorite band from that era: Mission of Burma,
featuring an ex-Ann Arborite named Roger Miller. The Misfits were cool
too.
The all time greatest punk band is Big Black, led by Steve Albini.
Punk bands these days I like: the Cows, the Dwarves.
The Minutemen were cool but not typical punk (if it's the same band I'm
thinking of, now transmuted into fIREHOSE).
For the awesome noisiness and spit-in-your-face sarcasm I like in
punk rock, I give you the Revolting Cocks. Their last album was weak,
but Beers,Steers & Queers remains one of the greatest albums ever
recorded imnsho.

Sandeep, that is the same Minutmen. I don't understand it, but they always
fellunder the classification "Punk". I first heard the Minutmen coming home
from my First real concert. (I had seen Paul Simon before that, but I was 6). I
was coming home from seeing Fugazi, and someone popped "Double Nickles on
the Dime" in thetape player, and it clicked. I became an avid fan looking up
reviews, buying albums, telling my friends about them (Who, for the most
part, were not impress I always thought they sounded more like classic rock.
They did tour along the West coast with Black Flag (and did shows with the
likes of Fear, and the CircleJerks), but they still never sounded punkish. Oh
well, classification is bad anyway.

I saw fIREHOSE at that big jam at Crisler early this school year. They
were cool.
(Sorry I don't have anything more relevant to add.)

I think I heard that fIREHOSE have broken up but I'm not 100% sure.
Best guess as to why they were always labeled as a punk band is that
(a) they were on SST records, and (b) they often played double bills
with bands that played more traditional punk.
Though it's not all punk I'm gratified to see that the Repo Man
soundtrack has been released on CD in the past six months or so.
It will probably always remain the punk album I've listened to the
most, if only because of the tremendous head start it has already
accumulated.
