Know why there aren't many good punk bands left? Because in punk you can't really expand. XD It's not the most complicated style, beat on the drums and slam out some chords and if you get it right, rock on. Then yell the lyrics. Occasionally you luck out and get a good vocalist. Not that you can hear them well over the cacaphony of sound the instruments make ^.~ A lot of punk bands branch into pop/rock so that they can actually GO somewhere with their music. <br>^^;; <p><CENTER><A HREF = "http://www.reikitantei.net/"></I><P><IMG SRC = "http://www.reikitantei.net/ez/rktCharact/botanRPsig.jpg" HEIGHT = "100" WIDTH = "150" BORDER = "0" ALIGN = "RIGHT"></A></CENTER></p><i></i>

Who does "Punk Rock Girl"? Is it The Dead Milk Men? I heard that, thought it was fun. Yes the words are often harsh and yelled instead of sung (is that a word?). It all sounds really cheesey to me when I can hear the words over the music. As Botan points out, that's really hard to do often times. Most recently in the gym I've heard some song about some chick that all the tough or thug or bad guys want. Something about turntables in her eyes and rap metal. Ring a bell any one? Is that pop or punk? I can understand the words. I guess it's like sort of top 40's pop. Any way, the songs a hoot in my book. It makes it really hard to lift whenever it's on. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.truepath.com/tsukikage/MeSS.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

I don't know any respectable punk bands (aka punk bands that actually have punk ideals) that have gone pop ;o Only the crap ones that had no meaning to begin with and only wanted to do something stylish ;o <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">Spanish bombs, yo te quierro infinito<br>Yo te querda, oh mi corazon<br>Spanish bombs, yo te quierro infinito<br>Yo te querda, oh mi corazon</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

"Girl All the Bad Guys Want" by Bowling For Soup. Yeah, it's so funny. Don't you think? The guy talks about watching wrestling tryin' to be a tough guy and growing facial hair. ROFL. Watching wrestling doesn't make you a tough guy. Maybe if he learned how to wrestle...<br>Hmmm... I think I just stumbled onto a new topic. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.truepath.com/tsukikage/MeSS.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
