I say this often but this is what time travel should be used for: seeing long dead bands in their heyday.

Yea. Seeing bands performing after their twentieth year is sad.
I've always said 10-15 years is a good run for a band/show/movie series. Anymore than that is dross.

>10-15 years is a good run for a band
I don't know, John. I think it depends on the band. Converge, for example, have existed for 30 years and could easily do another 5, if not 10, before it becomes obvious that they are losing their energy. I suppose it helps that the founding members were like 15 when they started the band.

Punk bands exist in two forms: amazing but only had two albums and continually active since 1980.

>>47980
And alot of those oldie pink bands that are still active are all aging members whom weren't even the original founders. And it's the same distinction sludge from back in their youth. They never evolved. Punk is just gangster rap for edgy white boys who hate rap and pop.
Rock music went downhill with punk. Luckily, there's contemporary soft rock that's keeping rock music alive as it should be.

Punk officially died when the Dead Kennedys (sans JB) endorsed Mitt fucking Romney. Not that I was particularly attached to the genre myself or anything, but still.

>>47958 here,
The thread was less about punk, more about when a thread dies and I guess flyers that you may have on your wall. Could be flyers anything rave you went to, so indie band or like this one. Something that all these years later still makes you smile.
Thanks for all your posts, hope this flyer makes at least one of you smile.

yours

Jello flip flopped a bit himself.
Take "California Uber Allies" and "We've Got A Bigger Problem now". He first went after Jerry Brown, and went to Ronald Reagan.
I remember Regan Youth too. I'm just surprised a later band didn't call themselves "Bush League".

Yeah, Punk is pretty much dead-as are most of the people in our local scene. I don't want to see decrepit old guys trying to be hardcore. Though I'd laugh my ass off at a show where the mosh pit was full of people with walkers.

Punk is overrated anyway. Nothing but distortion sludge and whining about the establishment despite being the status quo of rock n roll since the late 1970s.
I prefer 1960s/70s soft rock.

I tried getting into punk once but I've never encountered a more generic genre. It all just sounds the same. Hardcore punk is slightly better. Trapped Under Ice is an alright band.

>>48062
Finally, someone who gets it. Alot of people wanna whine about pop music being all the same. But at least it has rhythm and melody. And it's just about having a happy moment.
Punk is always tryna be "profound". Some of it is ok, but alot of it is just migraine inducing

We'll all be living in caves after everything is outlawed, but then you can be sure that living in caves will soon be banned in order to protect endangered bats.

It deppends on what type of punk but 90% of punk is more interesting than shitty ass pop music. You have literally no taste in music./

Hatred of pop music is cliche in the "underground" music community.
Pop music has more diversity of style and instrumentation than punk.
Pop can use orchestral instrumentation while punk is mainly stuck with only electric guitar and drums.

Also let's not forget that some of punk's roots was pop.

You sitting there trying to say The Dead Milkmen were trying to be "profound"?

>>49088
Weren't they profound?

>>48063
Did you just assume The Nobodys were trying to be 'profound'?
