r/punk

Hey all

I need some new recommendations because the stuff I’m listening to is starting to get stale.

As of now I really love bands like Rancid, Dead Pioneers, Suicide Machines, and Less Than Jake. I really don’t want to seem like I’m not versed in my 2nd favorite genre of music.

Do you know some cool japanese punk bands

Olá, tenho uma duvida, o punk se estende ao comunismo tambem? vejo muita discussão sobre isso, somente anarquistas sao punks ou comunistas tambem? por ser uma contra cultura tenho essa dúvida, vi alguns falando que nao seria possível um comunista ser punk

I’ve been posting covers but what I really wanna share is my music so here’s an original track! it’s just an instrumental demo but we’re releasing our ep soon

I’m Canadian for context, plus I would love some more song suggestions

P.S. Don't recommend any Anti-Flag songs and fuck off if you're a Trump-supporting fascist

Oh my god this show was just fantastic. I thought I'd never get to see these guys live over here, so I was ridiculously excited for it anyway but I still had my mind absolutely blown. They were playing the basement which is a tiny venue with a stage that's basically the same height as the crowd, and somehow this just made it even better?!

One thing that really blew me away though was seeing so many young folks there, talking to the band after about what songs they played to their parents to come out (hopefully not Cocksucking Club?!), or how important their music was to them realising they were queer. I honestly thought it would be a bunch of old people there like myself who remembered them from back in the day, but the fact they're still having such an impact on the kids is just the cherry on top of it all.

I walked around after getting a bible page that had been thrown into the audience signed like a teenager because I wasn't quite sure how else to channel my absolute love for these guys! I'm equally embarrassed and thrilled to have my ridiculous souvenir though.

So anyone on the fence about their other UK dates, go to see them!!

This past year I have been really getting into the punk (moreso pop punk) scene. I for one want to be a better human, and for two want to stop giving a fuck about what society thinks about me. I am anti-capitalist, anti-trump, etc. I listen to mainly Paramore, Green Day, Panic (A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, not any of the new stuff), and Fall Out Boy. As I said, I am mainly on the pop punk side of things but I am trying to find more general punk bands (especially riot grrrl). I also am trying not to be consumerist, so I dont really "look" the part. I look vaguely altervative though, at least for the area I live in. I love what the punk scene stands for (saying screw you to the government and helping out your fellow man) but I am afraid to say that I identify with the punk environment if I'm not really. Like, I don't want to be seen as a poser and get my ass beat. Basically what I'm asking is if I am doing everything okay, and if not, what can I do to be a better "punk"? Thanks if anyone can help me out
