Who else loves punk rock? What qualifies as punk? Some say it ended in the 80s. I disagree but I see where they are coming from.
Favorite punk bands?

A few of mine in no particular order...
Dead Kennedys
Bad Religion
Social Distortion
Green Day
Operation Ivy
Screeching weasel

I'm also a fan of cowpunk which combines country music with punk/rock. Example would be the Swinging Udders. I also like Art Alexakis' band before Everclear, Colorfinger:

When I was in middle school I tried to dress like a punk and I used to skateboard but I sucked at it. Anyway there was another girl at school who always called me a poseur and we were mortal enemies. Now decades later we like each others posts on facebook because of our similar politics and sense of humor. I thought she was the poseur btw. Becuase her family had money and mine didn't and I knew she bought all her poo poo from the mall when I had to make do with hand me downs and walmart.

Well anyway post your punk thoughts y'all!

Edit - there is also a separate thread for Ska if that's more your thing!

I want to be a cowboy. I was born to be a cowboy.

I used to like punk rock a lot but my tastes have evolved. I still listen to some NOFX and other poo poo like that occasionally. Bad Religion is good as heck, probably the most important punk rock band in my view because it made being educated a viable punk outlet. I think Greg Graffin being a peer-reviewed published author and singer in a punk band is a pretty cool intersecitonality.

Agree with this

Well it might seem like we're not ones to tell you
But who's in charge of your destiny
Some dumb fucker or is it you
Know it's not what's in between your legs
But what's inside your head that counts
You say you're worthless
But I see through the bullshit
I see through the bullshit
You're not helpless
You can stand on your own two feet
So why do you let yourself be treated like a loving piece of meat
You call it life, I call it rape, I call it prostitution
I don't know why you hate yourself
Cause you're not ugly at all

So let the sunshine in
And chase away your blues
Cause smilers never lose and frowners never win
So let the sunshine in
I know it's loving hard
But now it's time to try to start
To let the sunshine in

So when you feel hosed up
Your life is in the gutter
Think about it for a minute
It's what you say that matters
Don't call it life, just call it rape, just call it prostitution
And you won't have to hate yourself
Cause you know you're a beautiful person

Just remembered this classic punk misheard lyrics video
The Clash - Complete Control

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kluV2ieirr4

Edit the actual lyrics are quite good too

The Clash posted:

They said release 'Remote Control'
But we didn't want it on the label
They said, "Fly to Amsterdam"
The people laughed but the press went mad

Ooh ooh ooh someone's really smart
Ooh ooh ooh complete control, that's a laugh

On the last tour my mates couldn't get in
I'd open up the back door but they'd get run out again
At every hotel we was met by the Law
Come for the party - come to make sure!

Ooh ooh ooh have we done something wrong?
Ooh ooh ooh complete control, even over this song

They said we'd be artistically free
When we signed that bit of paper
They meant let's make a lotsa mon-ee
An' worry about it later

Ooh ooh ooh I'll never understand
Ooh ooh ooh complete control - lemme see your other hand!

All over the news spread fast
They're dirty, they're filthy
They ain't gonna last!

This is Joe Public speaking
I'm controlled in the body, controlled in the mind

Total
See-o-n control - that means you!

I'd describe early Elvis Costello as punk-adjacent new wave, kind of like early Blondie. I love both. Chelsea is probably my favorite Elvis Costello song:

Too bad he kept making GBS threads out increasingly uninteresting albums in his later career

Yeah he'll come up with something interesting every now and then but his old stuff is where its at. When I saw him live he mostly did old stuff so that was cool. His longevity is pretty impressive if nothing else.
As a bonus since the live show was in Knoxville TN he played this song called "knoxville girl"

Why can't you see you torture me?
You're already thinking 'bout someone else
When he comes home you'll be in his arms and i'll be gone

But i know my day will come
I know some day i'll be the only one

So now you wait for his spark
You know it'll turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you wanna feel
When he starts to lie
When it makes you cry

You know i'll be there
My day will come
I know some day i'll be the only one

Call me selfish, call me what you like, i think it's right
To want someone for all your own
And not to share her love
'Cuz i'll have my way, you won't have a say anyway
'Cuz i got you,
You don't stand a chance
So now you wait for his cock
You know it'll turn you on
He's gonna make you feel
The way you wanna feel
When he starts to lie
When it makes you cry

You know i'll be there
My day will come
I know some day i'll be the only one

My day will come
I know some day i'll be the only one

So now you want perfection,
I see your self-destruction
You don't know what you want
It's gonna take you years to find out
I'm not giving up
And when you've had enough
You'll take your bruised little head and You'll come running back to me

You know that i'm gonna be the only one

Huh. I've known that song for a long time, but I never really listened to the lyrics.

I'll give it a pass, there are plenty of these obsessive songs written by women that aren't seen as 'nice girl anthems', call it artistic license to portray a certain kind of pining youthful angst.

It's not terrible or anything and yeah i listened to it before without really thinking about the lyrics. It is a little cringy to me though but maybe that's because I've dealt with guys like this being overly attached and obsessing about how girls only date JERKS

Where did you go wrong this time?
When your problems overwhelm you
Go get drunk it's party time
Take a quaalude, relax your mind
Relax your body too
Run from problems but
You'll never get away
No one loves you, and you
Wonder why?

Sitting there with your
Mouth full of beer
Your eyes are glazed, your face is red
Who's gonna pick you up
And use you for tonight?

When you're on the streets
With a needle in your arm
Selling your body for another fix
Who's gonna pick you up and take
You home with them tonight?

You're running out of breath again
You're an Old maid, but you're only 15
You're losing your little girl's charm
Cry all night but you'll never get it back
Don't be afraid, it's not too late
Save yourself, I need you here
Wearing off, wearing out
I can't think about it
Cause it makes me sick

Sitting there with your
Mouth full of beer
Your eyes are glazed, your face is red
Who's gonna pick you up
And use you for tonight?

Not me. Not me.

When you're on the streets
With a needle in your arm
Selling your body for another fix
