This site is pretty lame.
heaps of people on this site like King Kapisi and Che Fu. I could listen to the radio if I wanted to hypnotise myself with that stuff. No wonder the New Zealand dollar is down, everyones gone stupid. Anyway I just wanted to say... if you dislike most the shite on here (i.e. Zed, Tadpole and any other commercial crap), go to this site: http://www.punkas.com it's a New Zealand Punk site that has got some REAL bands on it.

Hey, some of us old buggers were listning to some dodgy NZ punk music whilst we were teens,( look at the Marching Girls, and the majority of The Swingers) let the young 'uns get their kicks while they are young, until they discover HDU, and the greatest NZ punk band of all, Flesh-D-Vice.

If i were you, i wouldnt be raving on about today's punk scence, while bagging the rest of us. I used to be into todays punk scence (not neccesarily nz punk just todays punk in general) and to tell you the truth i refuse to listen to most "POP/PUNK" bands today. One of the biggest pop/punk bands (gee...even the name is a cliche) "the ataris" are really just as bad as any boy band. Their c.d is just pefection, not as in a good perfection, but it is what as known as "Perfect pop punk"....you know all studio done and fake and.....well really that sums up what punk is about now. Unless you listen to bands like frenzal rhomb who are purely in it for a bit of a laugh and thats it, then your lost....i mean it's not music you can look deeply into anymore, its all just a way of turning kids into marketing tools.....fucking rediculous. If any of you know anything about the sex pistols you would know what legends they are and there was a REAL POLITICAL message to most of their music.....they were not just for shock value, they were about the state engliand was in at the time....that's what punk was all about. Punk of course also started in america, but there it never really meant much, if you listen to the rammones they were in it for a bit of a laugh, for shock value, and to sing about romance, etc, the difference between them and blink 182 for instance, is that they actually WERE FUNNY and they were not over produced shit. So now, english and political punk is dead, american punk is just a massive corparate load of shit, and a lot of australian punk sounds american anyway (i said alot, not all, i love the rhomb and nancy vandal but have you heard one dollar short? they sounds american......australians who sing with american Accents......)........anyway that's all i have to say for now. Punk has become pop punk and pop punk is just another way to turn kids into marketting tools.....it goes hand in hand with skate clothing and shops etc.......like surf clothing soon it will get out of hand, and "uniform" the kiddies............ anyway i hope this dribble makes sense to you all.....im just warning you about the pop punk scence today......its becoming a crock of shit. luv peaches head,,
jesus... theres so much danger out ...
jesus... theres so much danger out there!!! heehee thanks for the warning but seriously i know what ya mean about the pop/punk scene its falling to crap.... if it hasnt already
lol hahahaha true true, i didnt mean to ...
lol hahahaha true true, i didnt mean to sound so frantic with the warning thing, its not as if pop punks dangerous lol....its just.....well....crap really
I think it is always dangerous to ...
I think it is always dangerous to generalise something like an entire scene. To say punk is not what it used to be is a fair comment, but to say it is a "corporate load of shit" is massively inaccurate. Punk remains one of the real street-level genres of music. There is street punk, Oi! and anarchist stuff that is ten times more political than the Sex Pistols ever were. Admittedly, most of this stuff is pretty underground, but bands like Anti-Flag, Propaghandi, etc etc are a lot bigger than any NZ band.
Punk did become popular post-Nirvana, so of course the mass-marketing machine cashed in on it, that's perfectly predictable and understandable. But the bands dragged into the major label machine are a tiny, tiny minority of what is out there. There are kids in NZ right now posting their flyers, borrowing equipment and hiring halls to put on punk shows for the die-hard faithful for no reason other than they love the music. And the NZ scene has gotten SO much bigger over the past year, it's not funny. (And at last the mainstream is taking a little notice, with Sommerset and Brubeck).
If that makes the scene a crock of shit, then that's your call.
