I'm scanning punk rock banners for a new pic behind my ticker and the 4th picture displayed (out of 2,350,00 results) is greenday.

    Yes they are. Now they have evolved into pop-punk, but if you go back to their early stuff, (think 1039 smoothed out slappy hours) they were playing honest-to-god punk. Honestly.

    The only real punk is old school punk.
    - Sex Pistols
    - Misfits (Glen Danzig era, not post Glen Danzig)
    - Anti Nowhere League
    - The Clash
    (To name but a few)

    i was bestfriends w/ BJ's girlfriend so had the opportunity to hang a lot and I dunno, I just don't agree with the punk. Maybe 3 chord ~pop~ punk (relying heavily on the POP part of that phrase.

    Or maybe it's just because i loathe them so.

    I agree that they were pretty bad A back in the day. The new music makes me sad/angry/change the radio station as fast as humanly possible

    Amen.

    Well, I also like things like the melvins, shellac, nofx. So maybe I think punk is a little more than old school, but def not greenday.

    Well when I hear the term Punk, I think old school punk. The Sex Pistols were my first introduction to loud, obnoxious music. :tongue:

    I ~will~ admit I liked 1039 smoothed out slappy hours. But nada after that. I used to tour with a bunch of west coast punk bands (no one really famous, i'm not that cool). And I remember on one road trip to berkely to play at the gilman street club, we burned 1039 out to death!

    I guess, definition wise, they'd be punk, but I'd have to really push them to POP punk.


    heh - i just looked up greenday in wiki and they list "punk, pop punk and alternative rock" For good charlotte, they only list pop punk and alternative rock.
