    Dammit I love talking heads. That ain't punk

    Let the Gen X'ers make the determinations here.
    Johnny Rotten - Sex Pistols - b. 1956 (Boomer)
    Joey Ramone - The Ramones - b 1951 (Boomer)
    Joe Strummer - The Clash - b 1952 (Boomer)
    Paul Weller - The Jam - b 1958 (Boomer)

    I guess if you want to take the advice of kids who were in grade school during the Punk era (1974 to 1984), that's fine.

    But @RaceBannon and his Boomers were punk.

    And the tweeners like @PurpleThrobber (b 1963) were the prime consumers of the genre and its successor New Wave.

    Well, yeah, of course. But us Gen X'ers still are old enough to have consumed all those 1st wave of punk bands when we were in MS, HS and in College. Maybe not the prime consumers but enough to tell the millennials to F.O.

    You're still a late stage OK Boomer. There's no tweeners here.

    I stood outside a Sex Pistols concert in Tulsa with Bible in hand in 1978 during my sermon seeker phase

    Quite the uproar in the Bible belt which was the point

    The REAL punk band

    I thought you were still a sermon seeker? Did I miss something? Did you join the dark side with me?

    Thats pretty true. b 1971 landed me smack in the middle of new wave and goth. My little hick town high school was overrun by it. I didn't know ahit about real punkin the 80s even though i think it was still thriving.

    I think Yella @YellowSnow needs to do a sermon seeker/believer thread or Pole. I have always wondered what kind of heathen would poast here

    @YellowSnow, I think that's a case where you're winning regardless of the pole result.

    What exactly are you wanting to pole? Religious affiliations/beliefs amongst the hive of scum and villainy?

    Some are suggesting a religious beliefs pole- e.g., true believer / sermon seeker, deist, agnostic, atheist fag.

    I wasted part of my youth playing in a shitty garage punk band, I don’t know if prefacing it with shitty is necessary as I’m guessing it’s assumed. Venues we used to play at were old Portland grimey instead of new grimey. The toilets were filled with shit and puke, not just orange caps. Unless you wanted to be labeled a poseur you couldn’t like bands that released more than one shitty album longer than 19 minutes, and anything with a hint of melody or commercial appeal was verboten. But after a while most of it sounds like the same static, so I wound up at the same stuff that got me into it in the first place.

    NOFX
    The Misfits
    Dead Kennedys
    Rancid

    Worth a mention: AFI, The Descendents, Social Distortion, Cock Sparrer, The Vandals, Bad Brains, The Exploited, pre-hardcore Propagandhi, Strung Out, Bouncing Souls. Plus the usual 77 suspects, Ramones, Clash, Buzzcocks.

    Punk-like, folk punk, Celtic punk, etc: Gogol Bordello, Violent Femmes and their one good album, AJJ, Frank Turner, early Against Me, the Pogues, Dropkick, Flogging Molly.

    I’ve seen most of these live, some many times, with the obvious exceptions of Ramones, Clash, DKs, etc. Some were of course old and trying to snatch some cash with one or two original members remaining.

    It’s a real shame there’s not much new stuff that is listenable. Maybe ska-lite The Interrupters and some rock-ish shit like Gaslight Anthem. It seems like it’s due for a comeback, there’s only so many face tattoo mumblers years left before kids will want something new - and since original ideas don’t exist I’ll predict third wave of punk in the next 10 years.
