There are no longer any punks.

You need to get out more. Spend some time in a pit and then talk about not messing up their outfits. Tell Henry Rollins there is no more punk. He will kick your ass so hard you're wearing it for a necklace. Punk permeates most 'hard rock' these days. Overtly punk bands: 'Reagan Youth', 'Angry Samoans', 'DRI', 'Fear' plus many more.

Most of the 'postpunk' bands you list have nothing to do with punk, more like 'New Wave' suckyness. Like I said up thread, lame mumblers that can't play their instruments.

I repeat Emo is an outgrowth of 'Adult Contemporary' not punk.

Whose pit?

Rise Against's?

Shook Ones'?

LOL!

If Henry Rollins ever dreams about "rocking my ass" he'd better wake up and text me an apology.

Unless he has a really pressing spoken word engagement at the local coffee house, that is.

"These days"?

The bands you list are 30 years old, playing the same retreaded riffs they were playing in 1980. Their members are pushing 50, if they haven't already passed it.

They are museum pieces, like those septuagenarian doo-wop groups that tour the festival circuit.

The groups I listed specifically came out of the UK punk scene of the 1970s. They preceded the New Wave.

No, emo is an outgrowth of those same postpunk bands I listed, as well as the "Revolution Summer" bands out of DC like Rites Of Spring, Soulside and Embrace.
