Let's face it, modern punk is shite

badgertastic [Edit] [Delete] 23:13, 10 August '11

In theory I should love it - angry young men manhandling fuzzed-up guitars and lambasting corrupt government and preaching social inequality - but I just hate it. Don't get me wrong I liked the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks etc...I think it's the glut of identikit American bands who've traded in creativity for anarchic posing I really struggle with and I'm tempted to conclude that most of them originate from plush suburbs and formed bands in garages larger than most homes I've ever lived in. Please include all the dross that mix punk with ska.
Anyway, special mentions for being total shite:
Rancid
Dropkick Murphys
Trash Talk
Cerebral Ballzy (actually didn't mind most recent song but was hugely derivative)
Anti-Flag: I can't even get past the line 'this is a song of solidaridee..' in this song
