I didn't know where to put this, but I need music help.

I don't even see the pop punk label as anything inherently negative. It just means it has more of a pop sensibility to it than other punk does. There have always been punk banRAB like that, like X for example. Or for that matter The Ramones.


Exactly. Ask away Tobias. :)
 
I like the beatles, and honest to god, some of those boy banRAB, SOME songs, not all. lol they are my guilty pleasure, but recently I found some "punk" versions of those songs I liked so now I don't feel guilty about it :p:
 
I agree that it's more along the lines of "fake" punk then anything else, but IMO there are some legitamatley good skate-punk songs, but most of skate punk band's discographies as a whole are lacking.
 
What type of sound are you looking for?

If we can ask one or two questions from you:
How old are you? and what do your parents listen to?

If you like anything your parents listen to it would be an awesome way to find out what type of sound you like.

And of course we can all send some "further information" by Private Messages ;)

make good use of this thread: http://www.rabroad.com/general-music/27807-rabs-most-wanted.html and just circle around the forums and people will make threaRAB about their favourite banRAB will be more than happy to send you whatever you need.

If you ever want to expand into prog check out me or boo boo we know our stuff when it comes to certain parts, but I'm far more into the obscure nowadays to give advice on the big banRAB. (haha I've forgotten which Yes albums are my favourite)
 
I had the sameminRABet coming here, so I can definatley help you out. I would check out:
CKY
Thrice
Against Me!
The Distillers
Lagwagon
Screechin Weasel
ThousaNd Foot Krutch
SR-71

I made a list similar to this in another thread, but this one is a lot more mainstream, so you've probably heard of most of these already.
 
I'm not trying to argue...I'm trying to figure this out. Don't mistake my questions for instigations. Yes you got it, this thread is for suggestions to me so i can expand my taste.

And before this thread, all i've ever heard the word pop being referred to is the music that EVERYONE hates. Because they use it in this context, "Ugh that's so poppy"

So sorry if I tend to associate that word with a descriptor of disgust. And I always thought that the Ramones were like the fathers of Punk, or at least that's what i've always been told. So calling them poppy seemed like a contradiction to me.
 
It's not about who SOLD more recorRAB. But they were playing punk rock music 3 years before the Ramone's even formed.

Some just need to get past the transvestite facade they had.

They were the original punk-rock.


No, frienRAB, you need to check out some history books.
 
Yes. But as a genre tag it means "in the style that is popular" not "this band is popular".

Wikipedia has a good description of pop music, "Pop music as a genre features a noticeable rhythmic element, melodies and hooks, a mainstream style and conventional structure."
 
Well, why wouldn't Sum 41, be classified as punk, their sound isn't always bright and colorful lol, or even Simple Plan for that matter.

I know for a fact that Deryck Whibley and the rest of Sum 41 was almost deported for their last album for being so controverseal. One of their music videos was even banned from either MTV or VH1

I know I sound like a fanboy, but I'm just trying to figure this out.



I did not know that, I thought Pop meant poppy as in like Britney Spears and NSYNC stuff...happy endings and heartache in every song...
 
Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but the general consensus, in the history books as you say, is that they were not a punk band but rather a glam band or at most a protopunk band. And if you want to get into a who came first discussion, the Velvet Underground predate the New York Dolls by six years.
 
They got a lot of attention in Ontario, for sure. Being that they were from Ajax, a small town outside of Toronto, they did a lot of shows, got a lot of radio play, and their videos could be seen on MuchMusic frequently.

Canadian artists take a lot more time to break through into the States, whereas American artists are just everywhere, you know?

They were always bit in Canada is what I'm saying.
