Ahhh yes the old "I got into punk because of...." Now im not one to say what is or what isnt "punk" because my veiw of what it is and isnt is far from what todays generation feels it is. Now those that know me on here know that I am what you would call "old school" punk if I were to label myself. Why you ask? Well as Sparky and others know I am the old man of the board. Let me tell you what band got me into punk. That would have been back in 1977 when I was 13 when I first heard the Sex Pistols. It was so different back then since we didnt say we were punk but society did. Back then it was scary to parents and teachers. Do you think parents are freaking out that there kids listen to Good Charlotte? Hell no.
People ask me if I think punk is dead. I would say yes and no. The punk that I know and grew up with was a period of time and it died out, but in my heart and mind I am what I am and it was the music that made me. True I feel that music has gone downhill since about 1995. Maybe you say I am stuck in my "80's" and maybe so because to date in my mind that was the most creative, experimental period. The 90's sucked and so far the new millenium barring a handful of bands has sucked.
You say but Nick your and old fart who has no idea about music today. I would say bullshit. Ive been into music way before most on this board were even born. Ive got music from some of the best generations there have been and yes I keep up on what is going on in the music world today. Music is a big part of my life. Has always been and always will. Sure what New Found Glory sings really has no relevence to me...then again what relevence does it have to anyone. Im not one of these people who say. A friend of mine were discussing this last week how is it that a so called mtv labeled punk band sing about lost love or relationships.
Now I am not one to bash someone elses taste in music because if say GC speaks to you and you get something from there music then that is great. If it helps you get through tough times as the music of my generation did then that is great.
I do hate the "what is punk what isnt" because there is no right answer. As I said before its different for everyone. Now being an "old fart" im not like alot of parents who say "oh that music sucks or is evil" Hell I play Rob Zombie, Marily Manson for my daughter and am trying to bring her up with an appreciation of all types of music. Yes I am a "punk" at heart because it spoke to me and is who I am, but I also listen to all kinds of music. I love Madonna, Alanis Morissete, Johnny Cash, Poe, Bauhaus, and yes I even like Avril.
Its the closed minded people who are the ones who will suffer. They stick to a certain genere and nothing else exists. I agree MTV sucks. It has sucked since about 1988. I can say that because I was there when it started. I saw the Buggles and the very first video. Yes MTV has alot of infulnce on what is popular and kids suck it up when they say so and so band is "punk" when half the people who work for MTV have no clue.
Well there I go getting long winded again and I have no clue if I made sense. May be the Fosters talking hahaha.
Bottom line...Be yourself and never let anyone compromise that. I am living proof of that. I am who I am and no one will change that.

But Im 100% sure someone will come along and do something evolving.
Its just a matter of time.
