Punk Rock: Great Sales

Ramsey and i share many views but this is one we are truly PASSIONATE about: punk rock. now i love music. i listen to it all day everyday, im mostly into rap n hip-hop but i like good rock as well (jimi hendrix, led zappelin, metallica). but when you dye your hair in a cheap attempt to be different and paint your fingernails then your'e just screaming "look at me! look at me!" i mean if you have to go that far to get some attention then you've got fuckin issues.

i know its the 21st century and transvestites arent discriminated against and its cool to "fight society" and we know you are a rich kid but SOMEHOW everyone hates you and the world is hell but dont parade your bullshit on tv and make profit off of it.

Blink 182's "All The Small Things"

"All the small things
True care truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride, best trip"

im sorry blink but your GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT. its not even slang youre just throwing words at us. then in the song theres about a minute of na na na na na na na's. well whos the genius that came up with THOSE lyrics? wow. i nominate blink for the nobel.

Green Day "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone"

AT LEAST theyre grammatically correct. but these are the rich white kids who, for some odd reason, have a problem with the way the world is run (or atleast they say so). these are the kids that not too long ago sang about skating down the block and meeting sweet babes and had green hair (get it? GREEN day. wow the creativity). they all of a sudden grew up and saw where the money was: Bush. they shit on american society in their latest album and the results are phenomenal: great sales.

Good Charlotte "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"

"Always see it on t.v.
Or read it in the magazines
Celebrities who want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the rolling stone
Talkin'about how hard life can be"

i love this bunch. they JUST described EXACTLY what theyre doing. for gods sake their album is called "The Young and the Hopeless."can you get more depressing? now these are the rich kids with the dyed hair and the painted fingernails and the from-your-ballsack-to-your-temple-piercings. i DARE you to show up like that here in the 3rd world...they'll use your ass as an example.

I'm not a hater but i had to let this out. it seems like any punk rock band is a hit. why? maybe cuz in their video clips they run around with naked midgits or maybe cuz their guitars hang low or maybe its just the well-thought out,deep lyrics that have an affect on us. we will never know. but if you want to get rich quickly then u better strap on a guitar, buy a skateboard and get depressed soon.

I think they all stopped being Punk a long time ago..more like alternative-pop ..not to mention they all sound like CRAP live.
