Whoa, this thread seems to be a trainwreck.

You know, it's odd that you're actually searching out punk. Like anything else, punk finds you. You just want to fit in with your buddies, don't you? Chances are that they are just as big of posers as you are.

God forbid you actually discover something ON YOUR OWN. I know it's far fetched, but you COULD go down to your local record store (but you sound like you'd go to a Warehouse or Sam Goody, that's not suprising), and pick something up. Goddamn, what's so hard about experimentation?

I bet all you "authorities" of punk/emo/underground haven't even scratched the surface of the genres you claim to listen to. You've never gone to a hole in the wall concert on a rainy night, packed like sardines listening to a band that plays in rented out veterans halls for free. You've never got kicked in the face, then kicked back. Oh well.

Go buy the Ghost runner on third CD, I'm not sure if it's punk but I like it, it sounds like the singer from trapt. Stinkaholic I liked as well I heard them on derder so you could go check that out. Just go on www.purevolume.com and look around, its mainly local bands that have released songs, I guess it's what you're looking for unless you are just trying to fit in with friends. If you are looking to fit in with friends go buy a Simple plan CD and get the Tattoo SIMPLE PLAN RAWKS Across your forehead.

OMG I listened to them first so they can't become popular or they are no longer cool. I hate kids like you, they listen to a band and as soon as everyone else likes them the band is no longer good. If you had your own opinion on the matter it doesnt matter what the other people think. Are they paying you to listen to the music? No, you are are paying for the music so listen to what sounds good to you. If you like simple plan, awesome, I think your gay but it's your decision. But dont just start hating a band because everyone else likes it.

It's one thing to hate on someone for what they listen to. It's something else to hate on them for ignorantly lumping things into one category when they don't know what they're talking about.

Amen to that.

I HATE people who think that automatically because a band is on MTV or (in some cases) even because more than 10 people have heard of it the band is supposed to be crap.

HOW POPULAR A BAND IS DOES NOT DETERMINE HOW GOOD THEY ARE.

And likewise, just because you listen to some local garage band that no one's ever heard of does NOT make them the best band out there.

I listen to BOTH stuff no one has heard of AND mainstream pop "crap". I enjoy both. I have both on the same playlist.

[wad04]

wait let me get this straight... you now listen to phish, which makes you a prep? ok wheres that gun.

[RogueFactoryKid]

r u serious. Those are main stream crap.

See my post, you dont need to call it main stream. If you dont like it just call it crap. It's like calling some that is black a dumb black guy, this is not only ignorant its just dumb. He may be dumb but it shouldnt have anything to do with him being black.
