DOES NOT EXIST

I agree, but it was 70's Punks who were the real punk's The Sex pistols and crass(UK bands)... 80's Punks were what took off in your country in response to the effect the likes of the Sex pistols had on British culture. Although the Ramones, the Knack etc were all great bands, they were merely copy cats of a genre that had started off in Britain that had nothing to do with this uniform punk culture that exists today, but was about being yourself (not being influenced by the establishment culture of Britain.) The trashy bands that formed as a result of the sex pistols ruined the whole point and purpose. The uniform image that punks adopted at that time (leather jackets, mohican's and leather trouser's etc) completely absorbed the punk culture back into the system or as Johnny Rotten would say the "shitstem."

People today have no idea what it meant to be a punk. Oh and incidentally blink 182, greenday or what ever other present bands you may listen to by definition are NOT punk, they are punk-rock. Punk-rock goes verse chorous verse, punk has no structure.

Well actually The Sex pistols themselves released their first single in 1976. However the band existed under a different name called The Strand the band which was formed during 1972 by Paul Cook, Steve Jonesand Wally Nightingale(Paul Cook being the drummer, Steve Jones being the lead guitarist). Wally was later ditched and Johnny Rotten/Glen Matlock were later recruited. When the band took on the name Sex Pistols. The pistols (or The Strands if u prefer) existed in one form or another before the Ramones. Either way, punk began here.

YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP CROVAX!!! HAHAHA err

Punk didn't have a sound, it was mindset- the sound followed. So to determine where the mindset first started is silly. To think The Ramones were directly influenced by some band across the Pacific in its fetal stage that would eventually lead to The Sex Pistols is also silly. Especially when the two sound nothing a like. The Ramones were clearly more influenced by early Rock N Roll, whereas The Sex Pistol sound came to define the Punk Sound, leading to modern day Punk music. Remember, Elvis Costello was lumped in with the english "punk movement" at the time. The Ramones were signed to a major label before The Sex pistols had ever released a single. So the first "punk music" the world heard was American- which is why they are considered the first punk band. In reality, punk music started in both Britian and America, at about the same time.

I conquer.

Hi im Blink 182. I think Im punk. I cut myself cuz its cool. I don't conform to society's standards, actually wait I do. I don't play music for the music itself, but more for money. Am I cool?

Hi im Linkin Park. I think Im death metal. I cut myself cuz its cool. I don't conform to society's standards, instead I conform to non-conformity standards. I don't play music for the music itself, but more for money. I release 3 CDs, the first two literally having the same songs on them, but I made remixed versions and cHngD d SnG TyTlZ 2 diz Typ oV wryTnG so we could be more appealing to the pseudo-rebellious mallcore kids and sell more albums. ever since the first album I have never went back to a recording studio, I am just slightly editing our first album (that was repititive enough as it was) and making new albums off that. I haven't changed the song structure to any of my songs, ever.

Here is how to make your own Linkin Park song:

INTRO:

enter some gay synth DJ techno beat
song gets 'heavier' with implementation of 'bad-ass sounding' guitars playing a monotonous riff

1ST VERSE:

make the guitars sound a bit softer
enter whining vocals

CHORUS:

change guitar riff slightly
continue whiny vocals

2ND VERSE:

return to 1st verse structure
change 1 of the lyrics so it seems like you put effort into the song

CHORUS:

same as above

BRIDGE:

enter pseudo-screaming vocals with some faggot guitar riff and hrdkr tekno beetz

CHORUS:

same as previous 2 chorus'

REPEAT CHORUS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND FADE

now you're first song is recorded, repeat the above steps on 'Here is how to make your own Linkin Park song:' around 10 times. There is your Linkin Park album. Now release your cd and just wait for people to buy it. 100 million dollars isn't enough? ok, team up with the least talented and incoherent rapper out there and make another remix cd (that's right, ANOTHER ONE!) but think of a really intelligent concept to add to the album... lets see... MIX THE RAP SONGS WITH THE NU-METAL SONGS! INGENIOUS!

Am I cool?

(Note: The funny thing is that I was barely exaggerating...)

I wouldnt know, Ive never bought an album of any of these artists you guys have mentioned. Instead I buy Phil Collins, Sunflower's Garden, R.E.M. and Tal Bachman... yay me.

Hi. I'm Greenday, here with Linkin Park, Good Charlotte and Blink 182. We make millions of dollars selling records to your little brothers and sisters.
