I think that it isn't fair to say that the new punk is "Crap". I grew up (teen years) in the new punk of the nintys and I listen to it now. Sure i love the old days when punk was original but this isn't the punk like you remember it. This might still have the same message but this is for a new generation of kids who feel like they don't have a voice. In fact the other day i bought five cds.
The Artists were:
Lagwagon
Slickshoes
Millencollin
Rancid
and Blink 182
I was surprised by the heightened darkness and serious maturity from the group. I recommend it. But these bands give a voice to those who don't and they still do the same thing they did for you. It might not sound the same but punk is the attitude and not the music you play. And your saying that the attitude is different when its not at all.
I agree that the music has changed the way it is played but it is the same idea, punk. Thanks
