I was qouting an episode of a show I used to watch in which the one guy does somethign adn the other guy freaks because that was his antithesis so he said it was like Jedi Vs Sith Jews Vs Arabs and as a running joke on the show he said or worst of Spaghetti VS Milk
Yeah, people should play whatever. It's like saying, because you're a vegetarian you shouldn't play metal. Just another lifestyle choice that you shouldn't let limit you in other areas of life
Yeah, take Anti-Flag for example, awesome friggin' punk band, they are ALL vegetarians, against animal abuse, and they are very political. I guess people probably said punk shouldn't be political... Well too bad. A lot of it is.
Yeah that's what I mean, BBT.
Like punk these days, err, pop punk I mean.
People consider THAT punk.
When they are being ignorant and didn't listen to REAL punk like the Pistols or Anti-Flag.
They don't know what punk is, punk is political, pop punk is everything but. Yet somehow people consider pop punk to be ACTUAL punk
I used to think that. I used to think pop-punk wasn't real punk but in actual fact a lot bands have a big DIY ethic and still address politics, but they address whatever else they want to aswell (because they write what matters to them, which is the spirit of punk).
Well, it might not be the same punk... but only in the same way that different forms of jazz aren't the same, in my opinion.
Well... I was saying that punk bands and pop punk bands write about what's important to them, be it politics, relationships, the scene.
Hair metal bands sort of talk about sex, booxe and rock and roll, and whilst it might be important to them, it's still pretty shallow. But yeah, it's still metal at the end of the day just about something different.
The original is Anarchy in the UK, 1976 as BHS says. They must have released it in America later on under the new title in the USA, in a small act of convergance with the American public maybe. I'm not certain though.

hummm, knowing leagues taste in music, I'm pretty sure he was refering to the Megadeaths cover version of the song, with an alternated lyrics that went:""Anarchy In The USA..." in the chorus, and not the Sex Pistols' song with changed title.
Calvin: Thing is, we were discussing punk... which would involve Sex Pistols more than Megadeth. However, I agree with your second post on those bands listed. I don't think punk has to be politcal, but it started off politically.
Skold: Hair metal and glam aren't the same thing. They're similar, in some ways, but not the same thing.
I just think punk should be political, and pop punk can be whatever it wants.
Don't get me wrong i love both genres, it's just that pop punk isn't that close to like crust punk.
Hair and glam are more like a poppy kind of metal, or rock, imo, than anything else.
Yeah, but crust punk isn't the original punk. I'd say some pop punk is arguably similar to original punk as stuff like crust punk is, just in different ways.
I'd say hair metal was a pop metal and glam was a pop rock.

I'd say that glam and hair metal were both just pop. Especially in the 80's. Most pop artists used guitars or some Rock and Metal elements. Today, Hip-hop dominates the pop market. Pop is short for Popular. Some pop metal bands like Dokken, Motley Crue, and Scorpions had good music that was worthy of Metal except it was really mainstream.
League, I know pop means popular... but I'm going of everybodies perception of pop as a particular mainstream sound and then using genres to differentiate between types of band.
