Jayson Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Nowadays, it seems most punks are into politics, lol. Anyway, though, back in the day, a lot of people felt rock was too elitist and complex. They wanted the garage band stuff like when Buddy Holly started out. In that case, they flat out rebelled against the music establishment, making their own music independently and playing simpler, more aggressive songs.

Empire Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I never liked GG Allin until I heard his early stuff. Shame he went all weird because they were great catchy punk songs like Don't Talk To Me, Unpredictable, Dead or Alive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grungie Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Most of the original punk artists were into politics, just look at stuff from the Sex Pistols and the Clash. The two bands that people cite as being the “originals”. I’m a big fan of the genre, but I’m not a fan of the community behind it. It’s full of a lot of gatekeeping and people flaunting their “street cred”. There’s also the fun aspect of when someone does something new, the punk community initially writes it off and says it’s “not real punk”, and then several years later your legitimacy is questioned if you don’t like that previously hated artist.
