Barely saw any really good bands. Many props to those who listed actual punk bands like GG, 4 skins and that Oi dude.
Ska definitely isn't punk. It's what reggae derived from. Although you would think of it being vice-versa. I have OLD OLD OLD Marley albums when he was playing ska before reggae was even a twinkle in Peter Tosh's eye.
I don't consider myself all that punk but I know what is and isn't punk. I saw someone mention Cursive and Thursday and stuff. I'd consider them more indie than anything. That's the way to go. No band usually sounds like another. But then you have the wannabes like Riddlin Kids or some shit pop-punk-emo-core-core i'm sad whimper listen to me cry-core bands. Good Charlotte is sadly considered punk by all these teenie bopping girls and frat jocks. I don't get it. That's like calling Evanescence death metal or something.
I like grind and speed stuff. Redchord and converge, Dillinger Escape Plan. blah blah.
Nobody mentioned Against All Authority. Although some of their stuff is Ska-like I'd consider it more punk than anything else.

But Avril has got to be punk numero uno. JAY KAY!! HAHA!
