and about anti-flag 'not being your thing.' you're not about helping other
as i am pretty sure you have never heard them, pennywise peformed fuck authority. they are not old men. and how could they count their riches when they aren't commercial and produce their own records? weird, it must be some sort of conspiracy. and i had no idea that jim and fletcher(from pennywise) lived in manhatten beach houses. must be another conspiracy.

countries in times of crisis, and stoping the global conformation and nationalization of the us. you must be a neo-nazi, as anti-flag clearly dictates against them.

you see moo, i might have been wrong to state that most punk bands suck these days. i guess i must be one of those bastards with those, oh what do you call em, opinions. damn me to hell with the rest of those anti conformist individuals. you called me misinformed, ha.
Are you serious?

To begin with, yes I've heard Anti-Flag. They aren't my style at all, I personally just don't like their music. Do I agree with their message, yes. Do I like the way they play no. Just a matter of tastes. I saw them once when I was in 8th or 9th grade, just didn't do it for me. Theres a band called Strike Anywhere that I got into a little after that who have a similiar message, but I just like the way they do it so much more than Anti-Flag. When it comes to music that has a message that I agree with, I admire what they do and respect them. I'm not going to just jump on their band wagon though just because they say the right things. I'd waste way too much money buying cds that way.

As for Pennywise, they are rich. They were rich before they were even a "Punk" band, but thats besides the point. Sure they might produce their own records, which means they just turn the knobs, but do they release their own records on their own independent label? No. They are on Epitath records for christ sake, the biggest so called Punk label in the world with plenty of cash to throw around.

Being on a huge label, going on warped tour, playing arenas. Sounds kinda conformist to me. You definetly do not have to be on commercial radio to be a commercial band. You tell me whats the difference, being played on MTV, or ESPN for the X-games? This is at least assuming that you hate MTV like allllllllll anti conformist such as yourself.

Want an opinion? You are misinformed. Go and discover some new bands for yourself. Unlike what you think, tons of them don't suck. Don't just buy a "Punk o Rama" compilation and then jump on all the bands it. Just because someone claims they are in a punk band, and on the Arista Records of Punk doesn't mean you should believe them. Go to some shows and try out new things. Punk music is supposed to be about being different from the norm, being inventive trying out new styles. Why listen to Pennywise when you can listen to Black Flag, a band Pennywise basically rips off on every level. What's new and exciting about that, playing the same music people in that area heard back in 81?

If you truly believe Pennywise is better than everything else out there, after you actually go and check stuff out that isn't already so established, that's fine. If you really are interested in music, I'd be happy to give you a list of other bands to listen to. But until you check out other things you have no right to hold your head so high talking down to people like you are Joey Ramone.

Haha, that is so funny. You're obviously angry at people who like punk because you know they have better taste than your own. Not everyone but most people who like punk music like it because they are intelligent enough to make their own decisions on what they like and do not like. Don't try to group all punk lovers into one category. Not everyone who likes punk dislikes mtv and how in the hell would you know if temjin does. Just an idiot speaking out of his ass is what you are. What does it matter how much money someone has. Think about this concept. People are people and have individual tastes. Quit trying to generalize because you hate knowing that Nelly sucks.

This whole thing started because HE said most punk bands suck, and I said he was wrong.

Hate to break it to you, but I like AFI too, sorry guess we have the same tastes.

Just because we both like AFI doesn't mean we have the same tastes. We most likely don't even both like them for the same reasons. Not to mention even if we did have the same tastes that wouldn't mean it's a bad thing. I haven't decided whether I dislike you or not because I don't make quick decisions like that but I was being rough on you because the stuff you were saying just seemed so retarded. And most punk bands do suck as do amvs.

punk, doesn't mean poor moo. but in pennywise's case, it does. they are not rich, and epitaph is owned by bad religion, a rich punk band. because they are rich, does that mean they rip off off old school punk bands like black flag and circle jerks? no. does that mean that they have no morals, and that they are complete sell outs? no it doesn't.

i think most punk bands suck. it's what i like to call, an opinion. your statement on most punk bands not sucking is YOUR opinion, don't try to enforce that opinion onto me just because i disagree with you. i hate old school punk like the ramones, sex pistols, and the clash. i think their music is crap. i do not think that their message is bad in any way, i just don't like their music. and i wouldn't have started a moral crusade against you if you didn't make that one typo. where you said you heard OF anti-flag. i pray to god that was a typo anyway.

and if you agree with any message against comformity, why in the hell would you sucumb to being a prep. sure, maybe you are a jock because you like the sport or sports. but you admited that you were also a prep. wearing clothes that the majority of the kids at school wear is one of the best examples of conformity i can think of.

and you blamed me for judging kids at school if they wear banana republic or abercrombie, that they might like anime. like being an anime fan automatically makes them number one buddies on my list? and what you said about going to the warped tour being conformist, what the hell? they conform WILLINGLY, not brainwashed into thinking something is a fad. standards of morals and perspectives can be conformed, not the majority of mind sets through clothing or fads. does wearing popular clothing automatically make you a blind folded conformist, um...yes. does conforming to supporting aids and breast cancer research (which is what the benefits of the warped tour go to) make you an open minded, caring individual. yes, it does.
