the stuff my 19 year old cousin calls punk makes me want to kick the youth in the teeth.

I still listen to Nausea like they just came out, and they haven't recorded anything in almost 20 years.

Luckily, Blake Schwarzenbach has a new band.

i would argue that the bronx are "real punk rock"
- applepirate0
i prefer the originals like black flag, fugazi, sex pistols, dead kennedys, dead milkmen, face to face, helmet .... the obvious stuff for a guy in his late 20's to have grown up on.
- dead milkmen. fuck me i haven't heard that name in years. now i gotto dig out some cassettes!airey
- face to face got back together..Rodimus79
- dead milkmen were as punk as they Might Be Giantsfooler2
- Sorry chap — if you're in your late 20s, you didn't grow up on 'em while those bands were together.luckyorphan

the bronx are totally balls to the wall punk.
love their live shows.
saw them with riverboat gamblers in san francisco... it was pretty epic
- not the new record. its good but not as 'punk' as the others.ifeltdave

what defines punk is a changing thing is all i guess.
my 'punk' stuff was dead kennedys (although they'd all but disbanded when i was listening to them in '89 on), ramones, fugazi, firehose/minutemen. i never liked sex pistols.
people seem to call green day punk (they're early stuff probably could be) yet it seems a little too polished and pop to be called punk to me and i actually like them.
now over produced stuff seems to be called punk.
one generations punk is the last generations trash.
- i guess the term punk went from meaning something as a movement to simply a label.airey

I'm taking jevad's challenge, and I encourage you guys to do the same. I think it'll be interesting. I'm not going on what sounds like "punk rock," but more of what embodies the spirit of punk rock to me.
10 current bands that are still punk rock (in no particular order):
1.) The Lawrence Arms/The Falcon
2.) American Steel
3.) Bad Religion
4.) Bomb the Music Industry
5.) No Choice
6.) Defiance, Ohio
7.) A Wilhelm Scream
8.) Propagandhi
9.) Cobra Skulls
10.) I am going to get shit for it but despite some dubious career choices Rancid is still punk to me and I'm looking forward to their new record. Releasing 19 songs at once is punk rock.I know there are more I'm missing...
- i've never liked rancid but they've been doing it for a long time. they deserve respect. just not my money.airey
- eh kind of.colin_s
- NOFX is doing punk-rock for more then 25 yearselektro
- I thought Defiance, Ohio was Folk-punk, like Andrew Jackson Jihad, etc..Rodimus79
- Rancid has some catchy hooks, which makes me wonder if they are really punk.CygnusZero4

"face to face, helmet"
wtf - that's not fucking 'punk'. I love them both by GTFO if either of them are punk.

- Amicus0

skinny little bitches that they are.
- they're from my town and for that all i can do is deeply apologise for not killing them at a shopping mall.airey
- and seriously, i've seen they're name used under 'pop punk'. what the fuck that is who knows.airey
- they aren't that bad... it gives my ex something to listen to rather than yell some insane shit at me.Amicus
- no they are that bad. just meaningless pap.airey
- I really do wish you had killed them airey. you've let us all down.BuddhaHat
