You are right, there is barely any good music now-a-days, if any. I am slightly offended, but at the same time agree with you all, since I am an avid punk-rock listener. All the bands you guys have mentioned, really, the mainstream ones, I either absolutely hate or really don't like. It is not the fact that they are mainstream, it is that they sound nothing like the original punk style (other than Ramones, probably where they got their sound). I mean I love Ramones, Exploited, Anti-Flag, Casualties, Circle Jerks, Misfits, and these are the more known bands among punk-rockers. I don't understand the lyrics, I simply like the sound and the energy most of the good songs have. Probably why I like some of the evil sounding trance music which sounds like it was meant to be played while a couple people are fighting.
Now don't misunderstand, I don't consider myself a punk-rocker, I simply call myself a free-thinker, I usually think outside what people generally enjoy. I despise rap with every fiber of my being, especially the new type of rap. That is not music, that is really poorly written generic poetry with an even worse... whatever you want to call what they are trying to play in the background.
I am not one of those wierd musically uncultured kids either. Sure I may not like some of the oldies like the "good" metallica or AC/DC, but I truely enjoy Nirvana, I love the WHO, Rolling Stones, Louis Armstrong, some Queen, Flogging Molly (An Irish band) and, of course, I am a Jimmy Buffet fan, minus the booze.
The reason why I am slightly offended is because you are all really talking about me, saying that the music I am growing up with is shit, but at the same time I am not really all that offended because I full-heartedly agree with you. I try talking about good old classic rock with a girl next to me in class and, she being part of the whole rap thing, gives me a look like I am crazy and have no taste in music. Damn near slapped her right then and there, but was able to hold myself back and fume for the rest of class.
So, kudos to you all for making this place seem a bit more inviting, thanks.
Blessed Be,
