Hard Rock is god awful.

Hard Rock is god awful.

You're god awful.

[36chambers]

You're god awful.

[sans culottes]

Crass, Discharge, Leftover Crack, Disarm, Reagan Youth
would be the bigger ones.

Only of those bands I really care much for is Crass, different punk tastes I guess. I've always preferred bands like Black Flag and the Sex Pistols, I guess you could call those among the most popular bands in the genre.

Hard Rock is god awful.

Depends on what 'hard rock' refers to.

Black Flag is a good band and I do like a lot of new punk but I just don't respect the Sex Pistols whatsoever.
I also really don't like the crowd that generally likes the Sex Pistols. Yeah, ya like punk but do you know what it means? Punk is so much more than a genre of music and that's why I don't have respect for a lot of "punk" bands.

If you're a Sex Pistols fan, punk means dying your hair with Kool Aid and putting spiking it with super glue while wearing a leather jacket covered in patches displaying the logos of bands you don't listen to.

[Skylark]

I agree with you. I don't like/respect the Sex Pistols and what they stand up for.


I love/respect Crass and what they stand up for.

A lot of Sex Pistol fans are just "posers".  There's plenty of dipshits who know the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, but do they listen to bands like the Circle Jerks?

Also, the Sex Pistols do deserve some respect. A lot of bands wouldn't be playing punk if it weren't for the Sex Pistols, and the style wouldn't've got much recognition. They left a big impact to music of the future.

It's sort of like Elvis. They didn't create punk and weren't the best band to play it. But they gave the genre a lot of popularity, and punk had a huge effect on a lot of music.

Punk isn't about popularity.

Punk isn't about popularity.

It isn't, of course not.

But if the Sex Pistols didn't make popular for a couple years, the genre would've remained very, very, underground, and a lot of later punk bands might've never existed.

I almost saw the Circle Jerks once.

It's sort of like Elvis. They didn't create punk and weren't the best band to play it. But they gave the genre a lot of popularity, and punk had a huge effect on a lot of music.

But ultimately, it's the Chuck Berrys and Bo Diddleys that really deserve respect.

That woulda been sweet.

Definitely. But if a white guy didn't come in and introduce rock n' roll to everyone, music's development could be behind by many years.

Besides them having dumb fans and being popular, what do you guys hate about the Sex Pistols?

I don't hate the Sex Pistols. I bought their album years ago. It's just that the songs aren't very well written.

[Skylark]

 They just seem to be all hype and propaganda and what I know about them (have heard, read about them) their music/beliefs didn't really seem important (and on their beliefs that doesn't show in their music... which is something I look for, except for that "Anarchy in the UK" bullshit). To me they just seem to be talentless (in every aspect).

And I can't stand Sid Vicious.

Nevermind the Bollocks doesn't have any song that's terrible, they're all rather good. Some of them could use improvement. Still gotta enjoy sweet tunes like Pretty Vacant and God Save The Queen.

Every band that's popular is hyped and overrated. The Beatles are among the best bands ever, but there's also a lot of unneccessary praise for them. And their beliefs aren't completely reflected in their music. Anarchy in the UK is meaningless, it's not a cry for anarchy, it's all shock value. There's also satire in some songs. Really, they weren't as political as other punk bands, they were just a bunch of wild young Brits.

And I agree on Sid Vicious. Fucking hate that guy.
