Members jenksdrummer Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 That's not what I'd call punk. That's what I'd call hipster emo {censored}. And even then that stuff is tard'dly easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 Nah, man, THIS is hipster emo {censored}: [video=youtube;EtwKWip5F84]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtwKWip5F84 which I enjoy quite a bit. And it's punk as {censored}. Of course, most people think Green Day is punk, so not much of a surprise. Music that advocates social/political change, discusses philosophical concepts, is DIY, and all that jazz is clearly not punk rock. Someone get me a studded belt pronto while I give my parents the middle finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JMR Posted June 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 I can't stand that Ian MacKaye. He sucks, what an emo douche [video=youtube;h8vWoe8LUZE] What kind emo douche plays in Embrace? Who the hell is minor threat? Fugazi? Some Nirvana coverband, they suck.

Members jenksdrummer Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 Are you tuff enuff?no double bass, bro. do it. A blast beat? Last I checked, those don't NEED double bass bro by any means. Even then, there's this whole single-stroke roll you can do with the bass drum and any decent pedal and decent technique where you can get doubles or triples out of one stroke, in quick, tight succession. And, that's not punk, that's emo hipster crap. This is what more or less modern punk is: [video=youtube;-Oh8K5tTcig]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oh8K5tTcig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FitchFY Posted June 29, 2012 Members Share Posted June 29, 2012 There are some punk bands I like, but I think some punk drummers make the music cooler. Brooks Wackerman's playing in Bad Religion comes to mind. Hate him or not, Travis Barker is a great drummer and brought some exciting elements to Blink-182. Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come is still a really cool album. And yes, punk music is often not about the music. The sonic side of it comes from the mentality -- if you're ripped up, why not play it louder and faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[video=youtube;CvtJVku_mJw] Completely sugar-coated...and proof with over 16.3M views. Granted, Barker adds another layer to the song, but, it's OVER POLISHED POP. Punk is meant to be very raw, aggressive, and generally creates, or is a result from, bias on an issue within/from it's audience/surroundings, and isn't about making money, it's about a message - a politcal platform for those without a voice....that is what Punk is. QUITE the opposite of the bull{censored} crap mentioned in this thread with exception to the Black Flag video I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying, and I agree, but Dude Ranch by Blink-182 is a pissed off teenager punk album. The addition of Barker certainly changed their sound, but I'm not sure if you're interested in discussing drummers or the "that's not punk" argument. Punk drumming, by and large in the "traditional punk sound," isn't particular hard at all. Just be able to do it fast and loud. Most of the drumming I hear in punk music that is challenging or unique is met with the statement of "yeah, but that's not a punk band." Well then okay. Then punk drumming isn't hard.

Punk, in essence, isn't difficult on any front, as a genre. Bull{censored} that gets labeled as punk because it's bubblegum pop mis-labeled as punk (due to the Greenday effect), then you're not talking about punk music. Calling hipster emo {censored} punk is misguided labeling. Just as everything was *core music 10 years ago. Hardcore, post-hardcore, undercore, overcore, {censored}core, punkcore...it's a {censored}ing label...when punk, as a name, was originally a genre in the 80's, like disco was a genre, how alternative became a genre (then later was abused into a bunch of bull{censored} labels again) Punk drumming, as a genre, is not hard. Punk drumming, as a mis-labeled genre, overall, is not hard. In fact, I'd wager that for most mainstream, mass-appeal musics, drumming is not hard and can be rather boring... Which is why I also play guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
