D-Beat is punk.

And Bathory was highy inspired by D-beat, but is also Black Metal.

So does this technically mean Bathory invented the first D-Beat/Black Metal album, & the first Black Metal album? (actually it was Venom's "Black Metal" album that coined the term black metal, but it didn't sound anything like traditional black metal).

These are Rivetheads.


Basically wanna be goth/industrial fools with a knack for trendy fashion.




I wonder if technically industrial music is punk too. Not so much the electronic-dance industrial shit that Rivetheads listen to, but the Power Electronics/Noise genres of Industrial have punk elements.


Is punk just an attitude or is it a music genre/sound?
I grew up listening to grindcore, hardcorepunk, crustpunk, etc... And to me, that was punk. It was fast, it was heavy & it was anti-system.
But then I see people like David Bowie & Iggy Pop all these waaay softer sounding bands from the 70s being called "punk" once I got older & I was like huh...
Even completely electronic acts like "Suicide" were considered "punk" back then.

I've also known posers who listen to Ska & Pop Punk who think they're "punk".

the age old question. my rough guide is has it made you feel like you've been punched in the face, or is it catchy as fuck, but in my old age i've gone soft in the head and started listening to folk punk which is neither.

tbh i think it has to be music otherwise it becomes meaningless. there are plenty of DIY bands that aren't punk and probably wouldn't wanna be labeled as such.

gatekeeping punk is not punk (see what i did there?).

love me some pop punk but i mean proper pop punk like dillinger 4 and pkew pkew pkew. not like new found glory or whatever abomination.

ska punk can do one horns sections are the worst though i can cope with the trumpet in days and daze but in general i'm embarassed that i even like them so why am i mentioning it?

anyway, have the hardcore i'll kill myself to:

 
Who said I was punk?

I use to like punk music, doesn't' mean I consider or identify myself as a punk.

I asked a question too, asking other's what they think punk is? Is that gatekeeping? lol


However IMO a true "punk" is some one who is anti-establishment. Seems counterintuitive to have sell out pop punk bands doing tours, making profit, etc..
One side sings about multinational corporations while the other is a part of those corporations to sell records.

To me, there is a large difference between grindcore/crust punks & pop punks. But does that mean pop punks aren't "punks" as well? I really don't care honestly.
People love to label themselves "goth" or "punk", but show one of these people a real punk or goth album (that differs from their watered down soft music). they most of the time don't even know of it or like it.

Some "punk" is full of blast beats & D-beats & then you have pop punk. If there's such a wide difference between sounds & it's still considered "punk", then it must be the "attitude" that makes some one "punk:"???

I've always been more of a headbanger anyway & now I listen to obscure shit like musique concrete & noise.


To each their own.


I like synth pop / new wave / dark wave / cold wave / post-punk, but to mix pop rock & punk just isn't my thing. Especially exclusively the way "pop punk" bands do it.

Technically synth pop & new wave & post punk are offshoots of punk, so you can say I do like "pop punk", just not today's version of it.

It was a joke, I thought it was clearly signposted as such but apparently not.

I listen only to a few sub genres of punk and its the only music I've ever loved and I don't consider myself a punk.

To me it just applies to music, not people. You can't say the vandals aren't a punk band just cos they are conservatives ideologically, nor can you say gouge away are more punk than a band that is quieter about their veganism. It's just a type of music.

So which "sound" do you consider punk then?

You have bands doing blast beats & d-beats with guttural vocals (grindcore/crust) which is punk.

But you also have the rockish, classic punk sound with the simplistic riffs.

And then you have bands like "Suicide" who were completely electronic and considered "punk".
