Yellowcard is not Punk.
 

Even before this disgrace of an album Oceans Avenue came out and they got "popular" unfortunatly...they weren't even all that punk.

The punk posers who listen to them infact listen to them to BE cool because people say they are punk when the band is what IDIOTS think is punk. They don't embody ANNYTHING that is the actually punk.

Now I must say I hate all punk, but to say Yellowcard is punk, is a disgrace to the entire genre.

Hardcore Punk is ok though...I kinda like Fugazi, but that's about it.

Yellowcard is not punk, they never were, they never will be. They're a pop band. They are doing music based on what is popular.

shut up already. 4 pages of this shit in the other part of the forum.

Re: Yellowcard is not Punk.
 

fugazi is not hardcore...pyro...shut thy hole stupid:

Yellowcard is indeed shit.

I'm just moving it to the proper forum.

but is there really a need for a thread? just to make sure people get the idea that there not punk?

I'm taking Pyro's word for it because if anyone knows their punk music, it's the guys in fucking Brampton Ontario. oOo:

brampton ontario 4 life rock:

I can tell what the idiotic genre, which bands actually show some talent even if I think most of it sucks.

Let's have a Bad Religion chat next...how against the grain was their only decent album.

Then maybe how punk had the most sellouts of any genre which is mroe hypocritical to the shitty lyrics they choose to right.

You are probably one of those who thinks bands like MAiden, Metallica, MEgadeath, Slayer and so on are the highlights of 80 music and they only good thing that came out

sleeping:

Nope, not at all. I'm not that closed minded.

Well, Maiden yes...but they own everything I hear anyway. You want to talk about 80s punk, though? The Clash and The Ramones, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Husker Du, The Dead Kennedys, Iggy Pop...that's the shit right there.

Metal was huge in the 80s and yeah, the era produced some awesome acts...not just Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. Ever hear D.R.I.? There's your hardcore shit. Listen up.

Blink 182, Good Charlotte et al aren't punk, but they're out there every night working their asses off. Like 'em or not, they have the record deals and we don't.

See that wasn't so hard

Dead Kennedys suck though...Iggy Pop = the man. Blink 182, Good Charlotte AND Yellowcard are not punk.

20 years of listening to punk and metal, being apart of the punk generation, paving the way for all you fags, putting out a punk/hardcore cd andmy 3l33t3st attitude says you dont know shit about punk, much less metal, much less music. stick to your Prog Rockers (Dream Theatre oOo: ) and do us old jaded punkers a favor....STFU

and look what your much hailed genre has become.

What do you mean by that? What have we become?

stfu Born-in-the-80's boy. The grown-ups are talking.

All your favourite artists are hypocritical genius's really. They knew how to fool a bunch of people into believing in their radical views when there entire point of having this career contradicted the entire point to these "lyrcis"

i'll just stick to classical music and everything else freak: flamethrower:

Yeah, you're right. I was devasted to find out that Maiden really aren't Satan worshippers. "The Number of the Beast"...all smoke and lies. Smoke and LIES!

rolleyes:

Dude, musicians haven't told me shit. I never subscribed to the rebellion and angst of the music I listen to. I listen to music for the energy, the entertainment.

If you change your lifestyle and views because some coked up musician tells you to through a song, then you're a sheep.

Where did this come from pyr0? Yellowcard has good music.

Also zoner has a good point, these bands to you suck because its not your taste in music, but every night they are out working their ass off giving their fans a show, or writing new music.

Dream Theatre oOo:

MMM cookie cutter bands, look how they conform to the mold. REAL punk is anti- that shit.
