| ahhh, how i love punk rock.  Im into all different types of punk and some examples of bands i like would be:
 Subhumans
 The Skeptix
 Doom
 Crass
 Toxic Narcotic
 The Exploited
 The Threats
 G.I.S.M.
 Riisteyt
 Skitsystem
 Black Flag
 Circle Jerks
 M.D.C.
 Chaos UK
 Broken Bones
 Abrasive Wheels
 
 ....and the list goes on.  The problem with punk nowadays isnt a lack of good bands, theyre there if you look for them, but rather that the scene has gone to shit.  Venues are not booking a lot of shows anymore and a lot of the shows are ending with fights, which causes the venues to stop booking punk shows.  If there werent so many dicks in the scene who dont accept people who dont dress like "punks" or dont accept people who listen to different music, then maybe things would be better.  The only places around here that still book punk shows are cbgb, the knitting factory, abc norio and sometimes Irving Plaza.
