Many punk bands had good lyrics with clever social commentary. I love the genre, personally. I find it strange when people say they don't like a whole genre. I've yet to listen to a genre of music in which I can't find at least a few bands or artists I like.Rhazakna
This. I listen to all types of music and don't really dislike any of them... except black metal, like wtf is that? Anyways, people are not always going to like the same type of music. It just disappoints me that OP was exposed to pop-punk kiddies and he thinks that's Punk Rock when in fact its not.
Greenday - Great in the 90's with their album "Dookie". They disappeared after a while until they came back (sold out?) with American Idiot. 90's era Greenday was better. Offspring - IMO they've always been awesome :) The Sex Pistols - Tough band to get into because they are so different on so many levels. Good Charlotte - Never liked them. Never will. Blink 182 - You need to have the maturity of a horney 13 year old boy to get this band. Still love them though! 90's albums (Cheshire Cat, Dude Ranch, Enema of the State) is the Blink you should listen to.
Bristish Comedy? Hott Fuzz, Shaun of The Dead is 2 that I can think of. If you like sketch comedy similiar to Monty Phython then I would recommend the Whitest Kids You Know. You can find a lot of their stuff on youtube.
OP, post some Punk bands that you've heard that made a bad impression on you. I'm pretty sure its some 2000 wannabe screamo punk band because Punk Rock isn't about how much noise or how many band members have mohawks, its about the message that we don't have conform to society's standards... that and stabbing people in bathrooms ("Horror Business" by the Misfits)
You know what, new guy? You're all right in my book. dodgerblue13
Which Xbox do you have? I put MK on my old white Xbox and seemed perfectly fine. I even got about 2 hours of gameplay without my Xbox sounding like a jet.
Personally, I think It's noisy, meaningless untintelligent bullcrap and an excuse for people to try and look cool.

At one point, it had a meaning. Listen to early punk. It's good ****. Now it's hip which makes it not punk.
Agreed. 70's, 80's and some 90's punk was a form of anti-establishment expression. That's is pretty much how Punk Rock started. Old school punk rock wasn't too noisey or stupid as modern Punk Bands are. Listen to Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Ramones, and The Clash to get a good feel for it.
