Who, in all honesty, defined Punk? I had to write an essay on this in Music Theroy class, and of course, you have the usual limbodos who wrote "Avril Lavigne" and "Good Charlotte".

But I'd like to see who you all think are "Punk". I have my opinions that the original roots of Punk come from The Ramones and The Clash back in London, but like I said, here's the question for you all...

Who's Punk? Who defined, created, invented Punk? Who are some TRUE Punk bands today?

And if I see the words "Blink-182" come up on my screen, I'm sorry, I'll be forced to kill you.

I think punk is more of a mindframe than anything anyone really invented or discovered. To take a quote from my fave movie SLC Punk..."Stevo: Another thing that pissed me off, talkin' about who started punk rock music. Was it Sex Pistols in England? Was it the Ramones in the Velvet Underground in New York? 'It was the Ramones!' 'It was the Sex Pistols!' Raahh! Who cares who started it?! It's music. I don't know who started it, and I don't give a ****. The one thing I do know is that we did it harder, we did it faster, and we definitely did it with more love, baby. You can't take that away from us. " So it may not seem to make much sense but like I said before I don't think its important where it came from...just that its here.

Some true punk bands today...argghhhh...no one shoot me for this just an opinion: Descendents, Pennywise, Anti-Flag, Dropkick Murphy....etc.

Why do people always argue about if they are punk or not? I mean does it really matter?

Im a country gal so I just dont get the big argument about "punk" and "not punk".

Number 2- I don't think it's important either. I don't care where it came from, actually. I thought it was a stupid essay prompt to begin with. I'm just interested to see what everyone thought of it, that's all.

Because there are acts that are labelled as punk, but in fact, are the polar opposite (Blink 182, Green Day, Sum 41, Avril Lavigngneinge, Good Charloote; etc.).

Number 3- no, it doesn't matter, and my argument here is not exactly weather someone 'is punk' or 'isn't punk'. My statement here was to see who everyone thought the roots of Punk were from.

I understand what you are saying. Lots of people think punk started in the '70's with the Sex Pistols or Ramones, Buzzcocks, etc. but in my opinion I think it has always been around. It's that attitude that they displayed that made them stand out as being the "punk originators-ish"
