Punk Rock || Genre description and discussion.
« on: April 22, 2011, 11:57:59 PM »
Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in a style of "Garage Rock", Punk Rock is known to those who indulge in it to be more of a way of life than a music genre.  Bands made songs hard, fast, and short, using only the basic instruments necessary in a band, some bands didn't even feature a bassist. Most punk rock bands played over crowded shows in small local pubs, and the genre took pride in it's much less than mainstream lifestyle. Bands played with broken down, cheap instruments and equipment. During most Dead Kennedy's concerts, Jello Biafra (Lead singer) Would either break the microphone, or the crowd would grab the cable and rip it from his hands, resulting in the crowd becoming part of the band... and that's the fun of it.

Punk Rock bands sang mostly Anti-Establishment, or Anti-Government slurred music, and most punk rock bands (Such as the Dead Kennedys, and Anti-Flag) Took pride in their hatred of the american government. There is one band however, that made... and then broke punk rock. And that band, is none other than Greenday. Hey, not everyone's perfect right?

Below i've posted a few of my top rated punk rock songs. Feel free to discuss them, or other bands and such in this thread, keep it clean and have fun!

Some people feel like they need to make a point. Those people need to pull the stick out of their ass.
