Arise My Punk Brethren

I am punk/goth or so all my friends say, hopefully you know what that means if not then you do not belong here, if you do then cmon in, i intend on starting a clan for punk/metal head/goth people but first i will need to know who here considers them selves punkish. if you do just say hi and let me know you hate society in many different ways. hopefully if there are enough of you we can start a group of some kind, and then uh...discuss music, and uhm... ok so i did'nt think that far ahead mabey youi guys can come up with some ideas.

I used to be a punk back in '76-'77...but I'm far too laid back these days for all that 'teen' aggression. Still best of luck to ya!!!!! ~:)

There was a thread for metalheads a while ago. It died.

I am definitely not a punk or goth- but, my fellow anticultural bretheren, I salute you. (More grass for me, anyway. ~:joker:)

"Teen agression" indeed. When I was a teenager I was drawing violent scenes and put as many skulls on my Warhammer models as possible (the geek that I am... was!). Now I can't recall what was so fascinating about it.

I'm not punk or goth, but I'm a metal head...

Metallica
Godsmack
Mudvayne

Rock on brotha!~:)

That's true. Still, I think it's agood idea. I have no Idea of how a thread like this can be kept alive ... maybe with regular metall (or in this related case: goth ,punk)news. Or reviews of fovorite albums.
Anyway, by reading the thread and comparing favorite bands with other posters with similar taste, I got to know some nice bands.
For example, since I live in the states I get little exposure to scandinavian metall (the biggies , basically, that's it). Word of mouth , and forums are some of my few resources. There's blabbermouth, but thats basically music bashing. How the hecjk should one know what kind of music Finntroll plays, if you lack all comparison?

Oops, gotta go. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack. It's related in my opinion.

Neon, I just wasn't around when that thread was...

I'll keep it up!!

You guys ever heard of Shadows Fall?

i find it hard to class a punk in the same catagory as a goth, who can sometimes loosley fit in with metal...

most punk/goth claimants tend to be just emo kids.

so why cant punks be goths?

well to put it simply, punk is a political ideal of anarchy and giving it to the man, wheras goth is about enjoying the darker side of life that one might live a fuller life (not about being some depressing kid like a lot of people tend to believe - once again thats a form of Emo) and hence why a goth can be into metal :)


anyway as for me i used to be a punk, but i grew up and now im more of a metal head, listening to the good ol viking tunes such as Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall, Nightwish, Evergrey and Opeth

what are you accusing me of?

i don't know how to catagorize myself, thats my friends job, and due to my cruel fascination with death and killing plus my rigerous hatred of most political parties and disgust at the modern world they have labled me goth/punk and also (independently?) a metalhead. you tell me.

well alexander i had never heard of them but since u and me like the same music i did a search 4 it on limewire and ramdomly picked out a song called "a fire in babylon" damn good stuff, what songs would be there best.

also have anyone of you heard of Cradle of filth?

Disturbed and drowning pool are pretty good.

Ahh! Mallcore, mallcore everywhere!

Country Pwns

Everything that includes brutal or scream vocals, I simply avoid. So Cradle Of Filth had better keep off from my ears..

Nightwish and Stratovarius (power metal bands, right?) are seldom metal bands I love hearing.. You just can not think of anything alerting your nerves better than the intro of Nightwish - Crownless. Stratovarius' Millenium track will one day blow up my cheap Chinese 5.1 speakers because of those kick drums beating like a horse's heart all along.

Recently I'm into that disbanded Sentenced, I just can not stop repeating their Drain Me track over and over..

Streetlight Manifesto is a hot prospect for punk genre. However, though claimed over-popular, I can not deny my love for Offspring and Green Day..

*tunes Offspring - Genocide and puts Green Day - Longview in the queue..*

Um, Im in work with a blue Mohawk and a Misfits top if that counts :thrasher:

Ps Emo is gay.

I'm not fond of emo either, but for the life of me I don't get why people have to slam music they don't like. Just ignore it then, but don't insult people who listen to it.
The only kind of music I sometimes slam is that which does not involve the playing of actuall instruments. And even THAT was created by someone. (Come to think of it, I don't mind that kind of music either, I just mind that it gets so much airtime and that they make sooo much money of it. ARGH!)

Gah, labels...~:rolleyes:

i'm not slaming the music, I'M SLAMMING THE PEOPLE, i used to know some and now i look at them in disgust. a guy wearing girls pants, having wristbands to cover the cutting marks and a scarf tried around there neck falling down over there pink shirt, its unnatural.

ps. i hate there music to, its so...whiny, all they ever talk about how they lost there GFs.

There are no true punks anymore. Everyone washes too much these days.

Even the weird wannabe goths at the My Chem concert all seemed to want to be midwifes or something. Strange people. Although not in the way they think of themselves as strange haha.

So, you're quoting Tricon and doing exactly what he asked you (kindly) not to do? Hating people or music because it doesn't fit in your pigeonhole is a rather immature way of viewing the world.

Anyway, would ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead count as emo? They're ace.

Hardcore, the genre. So, not necessarily emo, but not metal enough. Of course, I'm an elitist...

screamo is emo with screaming...


anyway, emo kids sicken me, sorry Master of Puppets if i accidently labled you sch, but emo kids are basically deadbeats, who have no will to do anything in life, just sit down and whine thier bleading hearts out. One thing to all you Emo kids, blood is RED not BLACK so stop sayin you bleed black and all that crap.

that said, its nice to see things coming out taking the piss out of emo ( http://www.emorangers.com anyone?)

seriously, if a kid was really depressed they wouldnt aim at making it a lifestyle, thats just messed up. I dont know why, but some of the modern emo kids just try to be depressed so they can seem cool, ive seen it all, and its really pathetic.


ANYWAYS if we are going to talk true emo (orriginated in the 80's, we are in the 3rd wave of emo now) then the orriginal emo was actually kinda cool, it was a reference for artists who really got into the performance of thier music, and it was very emotionally charged, not about depressing things so to speak, but mainly politics, life and other such things.


and just to help those who want to see some sort of progression from emo>metal via how hard they get heres how it goes>>>

Emo (kinda pop punk sound, think simple plan, or dashboard confessional)
Screamo (pop punk where the lead singer likes to scream as well as sing)
Hardcore (more screaming, less emo topics, most of these bands are more political leftists)
Metalcore (basically the same as hardcore, usually less screaming vocals, heavier riffs, and bigger sounds overall)
Nu-Metal (kinda slightly out of line, but its where it fits in the scheme of things, basically a tame form of metal, lack of good musicianship, and more about the 3:30 minute single than the music)
Metal (yeah we all know this godly stuff, 10 minute compositions, screaming solos, double kicks on those drums beating at 10000bpm's, mix of vocals from the very deep growls to the high pitch falsetto found in tight jeans)

i could go to list the various progressions in metal, but i tihnk it would require more of a tree diagram, following the history of metal through to modern day, covering all its variants

I wear black clothes, listen to goth music and go to gothic parties but I´m not a goth.

I pretend to be someone I am. I am the dark prince of the City, now all of you bend over. :knight:

so your pretending to be A large prisoner asserting dominance over the less powerful person in the jailcell/showers. you sicken me.

nice one alrowan, who are the emo ranger supposed to be fighting, there own "inner deamons", bah! i embrace my inner demons and allow them to assert power so i can be more EVIL. lol~;p

Alrowan, you missed pre-Minor Threat hardcore. That stuff didn't suck...with the exception of Suicidal Tendencies.

emo rangers fight the evil hoodie patrols and the big monster robots (aka power rangers?) its actually a good take on power rangers itself

and yes i forgot the pre-mid 90's hardcore scene, probably the best one ever :(

but like the mid 90's punk scene, its dead and gone, i must accept that now :(

today punk is dead, all the bands play over-produced crap that a punk would throw up at, the mid 90's revival of the fun surf punk was cool, but it didnt last, so sadly we must listen to Breakup Songs Volume XXXIV

Hey, cheer up: all the more chance to try out other genres, right? ~;)

If you hate the current punk scene then why don't you make your own band? It's not like punk requires much talent.

Because one band doesn't qualify as a 'scene'.

Well while were going on subculture:
I'm a 60's-70's rock, rage against the machine, longer haird (not shoulder length by anymeans though) hippie so to speak. Who's in exile due to the state of moder music.

meh i listen to new music now, i was just being nostalgic, i still pull out the old reccords from time to time, though today like i said i listen to more melodic forms of metal (i tend to HATE american stuff, its so dull)

you spit on Metallica by putting Godsmack in the same group. They dont even have lyrics. "As the spider venom enters my veins" WTF Jackass godsmack

Voodoo was the only Godsmack song I didn't hate, actually.

Tricon seems to be the only one here on the right track, but there's too much power in there for me. Where's Spartakus in this thread, anyway?

I don't think I can make a list of 15 of my favourite bands without including some that I won't listen to tomorrow, so I'll have to stick to the timeless ones. In no particular order:

1) Negligent Collateral Collapse (grind - Czechia)
2) Immortal (black - Norway)
3) Absu, especially the Celtic releases (black/thrash - USA[texas])
4) Death's first two albums (death - USA [but Chuck's older brother was in the Scorpions])
5) Finntroll's first two albums (folk - Finland)
6) Akercocke (death - England)
7) Cryptopsy's first two albums (deathgrind - Canada)
8) Nunslaughter (death - USA)
9) Skyforger (folk - Latvia)
10) Vital Remains (death - USA)

Lately, I've been listening to more grind than I know what to do with (Intestinal Disgorge, Torsof***, Lymphatic Phlegm, Goropsy, Catasexual Urge Motivation, Devourment, Dahmer, Anal Blast, Anal Stench and a compilation called I Can't Believe It's not Grindcore), some Turkish BM, some technical death and some traditional metal just to take the edge off.

Though I like quite a few death metal songs... it's just thtat. Single songs. If I listen to Akercocke too long(f.e.), it just get's on my nerves... and they're among the most varied death bands out there.

For one thing, I said no particular order. For another, just because the name is insulting to you doesn't mean they suck. Every song in Their albums are all hits, almost like Rage Against the Machine.

And how do you know about metal, country boy?:duel:


EDIT: Tricon, I'm not really given the oppurtunity to listen to music from other countries (maybe I haven't tried hard enough). Thanks for the list. I have names to look up now.

Its not there name thats insulting its there music that is. Metallica is a great band godsmack is emokids with tattos. your move boy:duel:

Depends on the album, I'd say. I actually got started on Choronzon (run for Satan!), but at this point, I think Goat of Mendes the best. Rape of the Bastard Nazarene had a different sound to it altogether, although I enjoy it very much.

Please name a few more songs other than Voodoo. I personally didn't like Voodoo as I did some of the other songs. That may be the problem. Also, please tell me the what some of the godsmack songs mean as well as Metallica songs.

Who said guys of Godsmack had tattoos, and do you know what's considered emo nowadays? :duel:

All there songs sound the same thats another thinig that erks me. Oh and anything musical I dont like is emo or hippidy hop. Its easier to genralize my haterd. In short Id rather listen to Rascal Flatts than godsmack:duel:

well thats a good philosophy

i hate country, its emo.
i hate death metal, its emo.
i hate emo, its emo.

you are emo

Hey, guys, which one of us can throw more of our feces at one another?

Alex, Godsmack isn't metal. It's really a no-contest.

It's not emo though. It isn't punk either...

I don't know about you, but I'd call it either Alternative or Metal...

you goth guys should take pics of yourselves and post them here so everyone else can laugh at you.

I listen to al sorts of the more alternative music. tough respect all music when it isn't only made to sell records an easy cover or something wich isn't made with love, emotion and devotion (by the artist that brings it ofcourse.)

Ha right now Im wearing my cowboy hat

Now, now, gentlemen.

Don't get your purple spiked hair in a twist. Play nice.

HAHAHAHA, i AM goth, im currently wearing my favorite pants, black with red stitching, studs and chains, a metallica shirt (and justice for all) my mohawk is spiked as i just got back from lounging with my friends, and i have a chain necklace with a padlock showing my entraptment to the mortal world and the rest of you commoners. all shall bask in my glory. hahaha *in a flash fire erupts from the floor and consumed the dark lord master of the puppets and so he dissapeared with a screech like the clash of swords leaving only the smell of fresh blood and brimstone.*

If you really are wearing all that stuff...good for you.

I have absolutely no problem with you expressing yourself. Way to go brotha!~:cheers:
