I'm like 99% sure I saw this show at a local VFW. The Code and The Virus were there too IIRC.

Shut up, Nick! You're not Twilight.
In the early 2000s Dallas actually had a pretty decent punk scene going in Deep Ellum. A lot of bands would stop off on their way to Austin or while going coast to coast. I even got see some of the older past their prime bands like The Cramps and Stiff Little Fingers. The guys from Stiff Little Fingers were really bitchy on stage and threatened to storm off twice, and watching Lux Interior encourage a crowd of like 50 people to "tear the place apart" on a Thursday night was kind of sad. It was still cool to see those guys play. I still regret missing The Addicts when they passed through.

I actually hate the gently caress out of Anti-Flag and here is why. That show I went to was loving sweet. We were having a really great time the bands where loving kickin' and the the crowd was really into it. Then here come the headliner: Anti-Flag. Before they start playing the lead singer comes out and politely(WTF?) asks us if we could please not smoke in the venue because it hurts his wittle voice. After that day I realized, this, this is not the band for me.

I didn’t actually get to see Wesley play if I remember, because I had to catch a plane from Chicago. But I did meet him beforehand so he could sign something. He offered to give me a headbutt and I declined. There was also some guy there asking him repeated questions like:
Are you going to play suck a dog’s rear end?
Are you going to play suck a <animal>’s <genitalia>?

To which Wesley answered each with a nod.

I saw fear in 96 for their have another beer tour. I remember I locked my keys in the car and noticed immediately, but thought gently caress it and went to see the show.

The first dead milkmen show I saw was after they released the king in yellow, so I guess 2012. By the time I heard of it the show was sold out, so I went on the dead milkmen message board and demanded a ticket because I’d been a member since 97, and Rodney got me added to the guest list.

A concert where I saw The Vandals guitarist Warren Fitzgerald slide down a bannister on his scrotum.

I met Dave and Jaime from the Vandals like 20 years ago, at the height of my punk-rock dog-collar cosplay days. They looked at me like I was kind of an rear end in a top hat (true) but were pretty cool regardless. I think they signed some stuff for me. Still a big fan, although it would be great if they'd release another anything.

That's a guy that just hasn't had enough human piss thrown at him.

Speaking of piss, if anyone has HBO there's an episode of Foo Fighters Sonic Highways (I know, shut up) that was shot in DC, and the back half of it focuses on Inner Ear studio where Bad Brains and Minor Threat/Fugazi recorded most of their stuff. Guest stars some of the Brains and Ian MacKaye and so worth a watch.

Oh man, Alaska, a mix of Siouxsie and Debbie Harry. Esta chica no coordina. Band sounds a bit like Devo, too. I've always liked that song, and the silly clip.

As a response both to this and to the guy who said he liked folk punk, here's an all-female folk punk band from Madrid, Brutus Daughters:

So is Punk Rock JUST music? Because I thought it was, like, a state of mind. An anarchist philosophy of sorts.

This punk rock thread only talking about music doesn't seem very Punk Rock, for example.

Punk rock is specifically a genre of music, yes. The subculture is just punk.

I briefly talked about some cultural aspects in my Minor Threat post (which understandably no one read), but honestly, philosophizing about the transcendent importance and meaning of punk is very un-punk as well.

I read it!

I sort of avoided listening to Minor Threat when I played in punk bands in the 90's/ 2000's because I thought the straight edge thing was dumb, but I always respected their musicianship. Those guys were tight. You can tell that the Bad Brains influenced them tremendously.

I've listened to mostly punk music for most of my life, but I never wore a leather jacket or a mohawk or anything. Punk to me is just a state of mind. The word has been co-opted by wildly different groups of people, and there are all sorts of infighting factions, and it's just stupid.

I just wanna play my drums and tell a cop to go gently caress himself. That is punk to me.

Yeah. Punk isn't fashion, and it's more than just music, it's a vague, upbeat sense of rebellion, defiance, uncontrolled energy, DIY, equality, eschewing materialism and hierarchies. In some bands and circles, of course, it takes a more concrete ideological form.

Blink 182 was brought up earlier in the thread, I didn't consider them to be punk as a teenager, and I guess I still don't. Not because their music isn't real or hard enough (no one would argue that the Undertones or the Buzzcocks aren't real punk), their songs are fine, I like many of them. It's not even because they were very commercially successful. To me, they weren't punk because they did poo poo like star in their own reality shows, become tabloid fodder, exclusively date plastic supermodels, buy ostentatious mansions, etc. In that sense, yes, punk is more than music to me.

Kind of ties in with how I feel about the whole straight edge hardcore thing. I used to dislike it because it smacks of moralism, even religion, but then I started becoming more familiar with the cultural context. America in the early eighties was the height of Reaganism, the whole decade was marked by yuppie materialism and superficiality, the airwaves were ruled by hair metal bands singing about doing cocaine and groupies every night, and how they had more money than you, and there was a drug epidemic going on. And then, just like in Britain half a decade earlier, you had angry kids picking up a guitar, pouring out their angst and energy in music, and screaming 'we're not like you'. Thinking of it like that, I do appreciate that scene.

It's not much a movie but the 1994 Charlie Sheen movie "The Chase" had a hell of a soundtrack. Multiple NOFX and Rancid songs, Bad Religion, Rollins Band (Henry cameos as a cop in the movie), Offspring, Down By Law.

The closing credits was the first time I ever heard Please Play This Song On The Radio by NOFX

I like punk music but I’ve never really been a punk or part of the scene. Sometimes it felt like the standards were too high, and I didn’t care enough. I don’t take much seriously and half-rear end my way through most things in life. Like I know tv party is supposed to be satire but the idea of hanging out and watching dumb poo poo while drinking beer sounds like good fun to me so I choose to interpret it that way.
Minor threat is good music despite the self-righteousness, I agree.

That’s true but also X got pretty fuckin bad - See How We Are is truly abysmal and the title track has some casual racism to boot. I remember seeing some videos of Exene talking a while back and it didn’t seem she was doing so hot - going on about conspiracy stuff (don’t remember specifically but i think it was Obama-related)

I won free tickets to see Mike Watt with some weird backing band at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco in 2012 or 2013 (I think). It wasn't particularly good or memorable, but I don't remember it being terrible.

Not a punk movie, but I remember being very surprised at hearing a cover of Degenerated by Reagan Youth show up in Airheads. It's the movie band's signature song, even. Degenerated was one of my favorite songs as a teenager, and I still think it owns. That relentlessly fuzzy guitar, that sloppy solo played halfway through, it's so good:
