Thank you if you made it this far!

And remember DIY or DIE!

Cryolith

It makes me irrationally pleased that I knew more than a couple of bands on each list.

10 years ago |

Pipecleaner61

I wasn't really expecting them to be on the list, but I was hoping to see Against Me! up there. One of the best, as far as I'm concerned.

smashpro1

For a good book, check out "The Unnoticeables" by Robert Brockway.

lowfived

GG three times and no op ivy?

hamyam

G.B.H?

Imrainbowfuckingrandolph

I've seen a few of these bands live, but the US bombs were the most disappointing I've seen. The vandals were amazing!!

Saw MDC live back in July, they were amazing!

magicmegaman

Reminds me of that picture of a punk guy playing with his son in the park

ThethiefthekingandI

Fugazi, The Distillers, Operation Ivy, Agent Orange, Choking Victim/LOC, Suicidal Tendencies on future lists?

good2go4ne1

thissssssssss + Refused and i'd be happy

Ill make sure to put them in the next one!

ChildeRoland82

OK so there was a movie in the 90s about a teenage violinist that went punk. Anybody know this movie???

TheGalaxyTG

What about The Unseen or A Global Threat!?

Kaylonator1130

No circle Jerks? Descendents?

Frozenpasties

Circle Jerks is on the list.

FEAR-THE RECORD

melodramaticbat

Sleater Kinney not got any love? Dig me Out is a great album

saw in SF @ the Masonic and brought me back 15 years

JesusInVegas

FUGAZI

mrmilkworth

No leftover crack?

Texantioch

Man, you know there ain't no such thing as leftover crack.

I saw them for the first time a couple of weeks back, absolutely amazing

ShonenLumberjack

Or Choking Victim or Star Fucking Hipsters

FuckFuckAndGrabAss

No Toy Dolls???

MountPeculiar

Nellie the elephant packed get trunk and said goodbye to the circus...

I quite like Stiff Little Fingers.

WizardBoner

Music is always a contested subject... Dead Milkmen?

cajunbrewer

You know what Stuart?! I like you!

somenumbersandstext

where are rancid and NOFX?

PatrickRob82

I couldn't find them either. I think I got somethin' stickin' in my eye.

Rancid is in there

ThroughTheFireAndTheFlamesOnExpert

Oh, Anal Cunt, some of the best song titles ever.

Dolphins Are Gay, Pottery is Gay, Windchimes Are Gay, 311 Sucks, The Gayest Man on Earth

Dude, 311 does suck. Anal Cunt knew what they were screaming about.

I attempted to do that song at karaoke once with Down, got to the mocking chorus part and then told the dj I was done. Wasn't received well.

I Submitted Footage of a Concentration Camp to America's Funniest Home Videos.

AlexLeontin

Favorite for future ref...wait! There is NO FUTURE!

DontNeedReason

I'd like to tentatively submit third wave ska and early pop punk.

SpecimenSpiff

I might be in the same boat. Could you name some bands?

have a couple of ska bands that i like, but i have never really been much into it

That's okay. No one's perfect. ;)

maskedrabbit

Streetlight Manifesto!

Fuck yeah!!!

alpacasnack

WOULD YA BE UPSET IF I TOLD YA WE WERE DYIN?

mynameisfatmike

I second that! Ska is life!

Mad Caddies, Reel Big Fish, catch 22, Five Iron Frenzy, skatellites, coastlines, skeletones, aquabats, less than Jake, save Ferris

TatsAndCats

Mother fuckin' skatellites! ❤

Scofflaws and Mephiskaphiles too mate! Aquabats is brilliant.

10 years ago (deleted Oct 16, 2017 10:31 PM) |

Oh my God, how could I have forgotten? I've committed a cardinal sin

Streetlight manifesto, suburban legends, kemuri, mu330, mustard plug, buck o nine, the toasters, skankin pickle, ska-p, big d and the kids

Table, the specials, English beat, voodoo glow skulls. Man, so many good bands! Ska will never die!

YoSoyMilk

I'm a little disappointed that the Descendents weren't included in that second section

aethergnos

Me fucking too

And operation ivy.

lily2116

This is still a constant in my daily music rotation

minamink

Just saw them live, dream came true ❤️

Madcaplaughs84

There are a lot of omissions, but it's a great start. Hopefully it turns people onto new bands.

spookymulder1

My thoughts exactly. No Rancid either? The Queers?

Ebknight89

Fuck yeah! Queers!

Forgot about them when i made the list, my bad...

JFizDaWiz

Needs more proto-punk and post-punk

GrapeBlazer

Lars and the bastards, agent orange, subhumanz, distillers, bikini kill

Missed some bands that I listened to but the list you made is very good. Reminded me of a few I had forgotten about.

sprinklesmeowmeow

What about Choking Victim/Leftöver Crack? Can't leave out that crack rock steady

It's still a good list. I'm just glad people still like punk rock.

asspickle

ANAL CUNT

Hit-ler, was a sensitive man!

Not shitting on your list, but... DESCENDENTS!!! ALL!!!

Milo!

Descendents are great, forgot about them when i made the post sadly. Might make an update post in the future

fartboxtonguepunch

its pretty common for the punk/rock/metal scene to be friendly, open, and sharing

188

RocknRollinBitchForYou

Falls down everyone gets them up. I really enjoy the mutual "let's fuck each other up" attitude as long as it's mutual

HardRockAnal

To other punks maybe... I never been met by a smile

Moosenborn

The punk/rock/metal scene is one of the most elitist scenes out there. Source: I'm into that scene.

MotionOfTheOcean

Huh really? I'm metal person myself and didn't notice such ever. Even though I haven't really dressed or looked very metal most of my life.

I should've rephrased. A big chunk of the scene is elitist. Tell a metal head you listen to new punk or post hardcore, they'll shit on you.

Ah, well here there IS that kinda reaction to local pop or rap, so I think I get what you mean. From 22+ yos you get those reactions less.

ButterfaceTaintClown

Which is bullshit. I want my rock stars to be bad influences.

The devil has the best tunes. I'm out.

ByTheBeardOfSeuss

Danzig ftw

Paganini, Liszt, Leadbelly, Hendrix, Little Richard, Yngwie Malmsteen

AtlasUnbound

The devil went down to Georgia...

Especially in pits. Of course there's always a couple assholes but we beat up on each other because that's what we want to do & if someone

I once saw a group of punks, dressed like the above pics, chewing and spitting gum on the sidewalks of Forest Park in St. Louis.

those bastards

AnotherImgurianEnglishman

Okay.

colieco

As a blonde female that dresses "preppy" but loves punk/hardcore music, I can vouch that "punks" are NOT friendly or open to (1/?)

roomsofthehouse

Maybe it's because punks are rarely met with any acceptance from people who look and dress like you.

I think that's a ridiculous argument.

Goatinacoatfloatingonaboat

Vanilla punk checking in, mosh them into acceptance. Or just wait till after highschool. I think that's probably where the problem lies, lol

I'm 27 now, things haven't really changed in that scene. I just don't go to shows anymore.

I just saw you said Bay Area, that probably has something to do with it, lots of punk heritage there.

Late 20's here too, sorry your area seems to have jerks. I'd be more than happy to meet you in a pit, always need more concert friends :)

10 years ago (deleted Oct 16, 2017 10:48 PM) |

Tim and Billie aren't brothers, that would be interesting though.

You're from the bay and are 27...I wonder if we've met.

As @alphaonone pointed out, you look like a fan's GF/friend/family. Most venues will treat you with apathy or try to hype you up and get...

...you to have a good time as well. Here in the East Coast, all rock & metal concerts I took my SO to were kind or tried to include her.

That's great! Unfortunately, in SF everyone is incredibly condescending and pretentious. The alternative types are actually the most snobby

SF?

HenryFondle

Jello would have some words about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9wo5uqHAHc

people that do not dress like them. I was seldom welcome at local punk shows when I was in high school because (2/3)

didn't conform to "punk" standards of beauty. (3/3).

randolphjcarter

That's actually very surprising. I'm in Ireland but I've never seen anything like that happen at punk gigs here.

luckylonk

It's pretty common among all people of high school and college age but punks trend to believe that they are not the same,

Edit, might create a new list in the future to cover more sub genres, would love to have som recommendations though!

apocalypsewow

Also Patti Smith, Blink, and early Green Day

X should be in the classics section!

And for the love of god put The Damned on there somewhere

Also, not to be pedantic but I'm not sure about having Carcass and Brutal Truth on a list of punk bands. Just sayin like

dejavu1999

Suicidal Tendencies

superduck120

For hardcore punk add the gorilla biscuits

I think NOFX definitely deserved to be in the pop punk list.

If you're list doesn't have mojo nixon then your list can use some fixin.. on such a winters day... (and dead milkmen).

amazingpants

X the band

farish

folk punk (days n daze, mischeif brew, etc) and surf punk (FIDLAR, agent orange, etc) are both kinda fun

DrShrinker

It's odd how punk lead to grindcore. It happened to me all those years ago. I just never really thought about it till seeing this.

BitterLiberalArtsStudent

There's dance-punk, which seemingly has very little to do with punk (like LCD Soundsystem or Talking Heads).

Dillon187

How can you forget the descendents OP?

Got no clue mayn...

The Classics

Street Punk/ Pop Punk/ Punk Rock

Hardcore/Crust Punk

Grindcore

Thank you if you made it this far!
