Does it ever annoy you to hear people like Avril or Ashlee Simpson called "punk?" It really ticks me off. Or hearing bands like Good Charlotte or Blink 182 [I love them] being called punk? I can't stand it! I'm saying this on behalf of one of the latest xanga skins. I know its just a label, but its human nature to label. But sometimes you just need to get the name right. And if your not sure, don't say anything.

Whoa settle down tiger. I got your back, but it is not punk at all to label anyone. Besides, being emo is much more fun. heh

I knoe, I HATE posers! They get on my DAMN nerves! I mean, I LOVE 2 listen 2 punk rock & all, but I am NOT a punk rocker AT ALL! If U look at me, U would be like "WTF?!? She Listens 2 The Sex Pistols?!?! "...but yeah. I'm very diverse when it comes 2 music, I love it all...almost . But yeah, because I HATE posers, I never label myself anything, I just label myself an Artisic Mexican-American who loves all types of music...actually, 4get that...I HATE labeling ! Labeling sux cuz ur never true 2 just that label...ex., U may be a "rocker" whose 2nd love is hip-hop or sumthing. See U can't just be labeled cuz it's just a part of U, not all of U. BUt yeah...that's just me .

sex pistols all the way

u kno, that's just stereotyping

it annoys me when they call ashley punk... cuz well... i think of her as pop

let them be. who cares. its their life and they may be leading a fake one but haha who cares

I hate the label "punk" If you were truly "punk" then you wouldn't call yourself punk.

I absolutely hate Avril Lavigne and Ashley Simpson. They piss me off

you just said you hate labels .. yet you say you hate posers.... youre confused ....

i dont care.. i hate it when they label it punk too, but its music, just let it go.... and i friggin HATE when people say poser, or call people posers. THERES NO POINT in it... god people should get to be who they want without being called something..

and ashlee simpson 'oh im punk im not a poser' ticks me off ...

and marilyn person. you make me hateyou for what you say....

i dont like ashlee or avril, but whatever. thrue punk died.. a long time ago.. you'll see a few people that will make you gasp theyre so cool, but call them punk if you wish.. they would NEVER call themselves punk

im gonna go because im making no sense and getting mad..

edit//
true MUSIC LOVERS listen to ALL kinds of music. and shouldnt be held back by some dtupid label that a 12 year old kid gave them, because they hve no life and have no selfesteem as to make fun of someone for how they look

ok if blink-182 is not punk wat the hell r they? im not punk rock i juss listen to alot of punk bands but i mean i personally think blink-182 is punk....


::edit:: i looked at this site http://www.punkrock.org/ and it has both good charlotte and blink-182 on there and no i dont think good charlotte is punk either...

blink 182 is considered "pop" punk ..... as is good charlotte and simple plan

yes, because you should believe everything the internet tells you. I know some hardcore punk people and they will tell you that both Blink and GC are not punk.

well i dont believe everything the internet says but i think their punk not like hardcore punk tho...i don think their pop punk..

i know what you mean, it annys me 2.

I find it better to just except music instead of trying to label it, because isn't it almost every bands intention to come out with a new sound?

no. nowadays their goal is to sound exactly like each other. and its working

Sadly you are probably right. I have inspirations, but I try to have my own sound.

good charolette, simple plan, new found glory, etc etc

is there supposed to be a difference?

why do people care so much if somone is labeled? so avril is labeled punk. so what? punk has branched out to so many styles now its impossible to make valid points on being punk and what not. so cant we all just listen to music and not punk/rap/rnb/hip hop/pop punk/metal punk/emo punk etc

I don't care.

^ lol

people call good charlotte and avril and blink all punk because their music genre is punk!! just get over it. people will call it what it is considered. god.

yah. no need to make such a big fuss.

excellent

get the frick over it and stop whining. yeah, they're not so punk. your point? maybe other people think they are. it depends how you interpret the music.

also, we've had a bunch of threads on this subject. please don't remake threads.

haha the name of your topic makes me laugh "yet another punk topic" if there is already like 50283 topics on it, why did you make another?

almost all of you guys are being stereotypical, and i dont mean to offend anyone... but EVERYONE labels EVERYTHING. someone who listens to hip hop and rap "isn't allowed" to wear pants decorated with buckles and zippers. they would be labeled a "poser". and all this good charlotte, ashley simpson, avril lavigne business... they all dress in the "punk" style of clothing, but their music is more pop-rock than anything. the definition of punk is actually someone who is a rebel, who goes against the mainstream. Nowadays, the word "punk" describes someone who is a mainstream rocker...

just listen to the music you like and forget what the media has labeled it as... who cares if its punk or not??

Wut I mean by I hate labeling is that I hate it when people say "EWWW! Look at those punk rockers" or "EWWW! Look at those thugs & their hip-hop! Those hip-hop hoodlums!", that's wut I mean by I hate labeling. Like labeling sumone just cuz they like sumthing to the core. And wut I mean by I hate posers is that they try 2 be like those "punk rockers" & those "Hip-hopers", as they would call them, just cuz they think it's "cool", and all of a sudden change their old ways & their old self just 2 be part of that group.
Like there wuz this chick that I used 2 see whe I used 2 go 2 highskool, like the first semester, she wuz a "rocker" cuz all her friends were "rockers". Then She changed friends, and tried 2 dress all "ghetto hip-hop" cuz her "new friends" dressed that way. U don't have 2 change urself 2 make friends...and this is a PERFECT example of a poser, cuz now she's in the "rockabilly" (as they would call it) stage, & I just think that's so stoopid.
Now U didn't have 2 use such a strong word as "hate" cuz U don't even knoe me...and I'm tempted 2 say "biotch" cuz I'm listening 2 old skool Snoop, but I don't mean it.
Does that clear up things a little better now person that hates me???

^ from the dictonary, kids.

There are soooo many punk posers..
