In my eyes, Punk is the ANTI-Genre, or ANTI-Trend if u will... It started with the Ramones and Sex Pistols... until then, bands were generally the same when it came to the apparel... These 2 bands broke the trend and dressed up like bad-asses... Punk was born
Punk lost it's direction when people started considering it a Genre that had certain criteria... Punk is not a trend... it's NOT conforming to a sound... Nirvana was punk because during the reign of the hair-metal bands he decided not to go with the trend...
Punk will rise again... Just look at what's on the radio and MTV now... It's a bunch of trendy little whiners that focus more on their IMAGE than writing compelling music... even their music writing is becoming too f*cking trendy... if i hear one more "three days grace" sounding vocalist i'm going to shoot myself... same goes with the tween bands that wear more make-up than my sister... we're just repeating the 80's with all this glam-rock... soon a band will rise and they won't need the make-up to attract fans... their music will bring people to their feet again and all these sh*t bands will have nobody to imitate... cuz how do you imitate "good music" with no real talent...
