Punk or Rock? (1 Viewer)

[demonduckofdoom]

Just wondering your answer to the eternal battle over punk vs rock. I pretty much love both but there's others who would kill me for saying so.

 

[alien]

both. it depends. isn't punk a branch of rock anyway?

 

[gemita]

Umm....is there a reason why this is in the extension history forum???

 

[veridis]

i'd say rock simply because the term punk has been hijacked too much by little emo boys and much true punk would be considered by many rock according to contempary definitions of each genre

 

[dave_119]

both rock and punk.. except fuck the government punk

 

[silvermoon]

rock...but why the hell is this in hist ext forum dude??? makes no sense *confuzzled*

 

[veridis]

the representations of and attitudes towards punk over time?
the changing meaning of the word punk and the evolution of the genre?

 

[silvermoon]

lol
good try
still not really hist ext though is it?

 

[veridis]

well i dont see it covered in ancient or modern

 

[Manan]

Why in history at all pplz???

 

[demonduckofdoom]

I'll tell you why, I didn't know how all this thread starting works cos I was new round here and I accidentally put it in this forum. I like your theories though!

Just simply a mistake made by the new gal.

 

[Manan]

Amazing how one little mistake can produce such "intelligent" theories from a bunch of too enthusiastic extenstion history students!!!

 

[veridis]

what do you mean read to much into it. theres no such thing
*has nightmares about resistant readings from english*
that was such a boring topic/concept

but back on topic(sorta) whats your favorite punk band?(please limit it to proper punk not emo)
recently i've really been getting into mclusky.
...and you will know us by the trail of dead are cool too. while kinda bordering on prog/experimental their early stuff is still gritty. but their new album is a bit of a let down
