Emo Punk? WTF

Rog posted in

I've had an opinion about this topic for awhile, but just what the hell went wrong with the Punk scene?

Sometime around '92 or so, I went to a party where a DJ-wannabe introduced me to the sounds of Green Day. I think my comments were along the lines of "Not bad for a garage band" and his response was akin to "Garage band? They're punk". I definitely recall laughing and more than a little scoffing. I don't care what scene Green Day grew up in, it wasn't punk to me then and it's even less punk to me now.

The Sex Pistols are punk. Dead Kennedys are punk. Black Flag is punk. WTF Good Charlotte? Emo.

Emo Punk? Fuck off, that's a contradiction in terms. Pop Punk? That's just proof that punk is dead.
