Is The Offspring Punk?

[Muzikman]

the talking heads are not punk ...... but yeah the offspring is either

Myself and MANY MANY other will argue the fact that the Talking Heads are punk. Hell, the ex band members will as well.

the talking heads after taking a second listen to em...(i hate their music)...is actually more punk then most ppl think...

anyway....


also, is anyone else angry at Bad Religion for The Empire Strikes First?...i think thats their worst cd right now...

[Army]

Talking Heads started out in the early version of Technical/Industrial, and later when almost totally Techno Punk. So they aren't REALLY punk in its pure form.

Neither is Offspring.

Offspring is just another band that rode/is riding the wave that Nirvana began, which I still call Garage Band Noise.

True Punk is ALL about rebellion against the established music genre, and no one did it better than the Sex Pistols, and the Ramones.

Todays rock music is rarely new or inventive, so I'll just wait until the next "thing" comes along to see if it's any better!

[Mister Sinister]

I agree with Army. Punk was about rebelling. Offspring is about making money in todays music scene... In short no they are not punk.

The offspring might not be punk, but I still really like their music .

Exactly, that pretty sums up my feelings on music all at once.

But, I still like alot of the metal bands now, and I still think that The Offspring is a pretty good band.
