Close but worse that sopa de macacoland

In time you will, friend.

Drive to Oakland for a night? Start your own?

>Interior BC
>Tons of pop-punk

Whats worse than Brazil?

The rest of that region for starters.

>chapel hill
>not as good as raleigh or greensboro, but there's enough cross-pollination to make it fun for a non-punk

also, chapel hill has some awesome post-punk and country music going on right now, which is rad as fuck. all in all, it's a tight scene

This is Boston, Not L.A. makes it seem like the hayday was never all that hey

yeah, a lot of the punk music around nowadays is spearheaded by transgender people. when it's a facet rather than a subject of their songwriting, it's really engaging. but when their music is exclusively half-spoken rants against the patriarchy, it generally feels lazy and boring. i'm happy people have found their voices; i just often feel like deaf ears upon them.

>but when their music is exclusively half-spoken rants against the patriarchy, it generally feels lazy and boring.
Which is kind of ironic considering that bullshit is pretty much the establishment now and punk punk is supposed to be to call people out of their bullshit in the dominant side throwing opposition to the norm. They're just Motley Crue tier phonies

cleveland had a decent punk scene until mahalls started booking more shows

Also autistic in Chicago.
Used to be a lot of DIY shows ten years ago. Maybe I'm out of touch cos I don't use Zuckerburg's site, so I don't know what, if any collectives/DIY spaces are still operating. Nobody hands out flyers at shows anymore. I just go to Reggie's and other venues when a good band comes to town. I think half the local bands I used to know and be into have all broken up. Like I said, I don't use Zuckerburg's site. I just make up my own scene inside my head, and head to open mikes and play there.

well, the thing is, the scene tends to be hyper-focused on message over music. it's like, of course i oppose war. of course, i want gay and trans people to live their lives. but these are redundant. i'm not a punk, so i can't speak for the punks, but i've yet to hear such a ranty tune make me feel the way antony & the johnsons makes me feel.

the thing is, that scene is genuine; it's just a genuine development in a direction i don't care for.

>the scene tends to be hyper-focused on message over music. it's like, of course i oppose war. of course, i want gay and trans people to live their lives. but these are redundant. i'm not a punk, so i can't speak for the punks
Yeah, personally I see a real issue here. What's wrong with punk having catchy tunes and sheena is a punk rocker lyrics? Why is people larping as if they're punks when they political correcteness propaganda towards gays, lesbian or faggots and alike is running rampant on tv of all things?

I feels so disingenuous, that makes me think the idea was put in their minds before hand instead of the urgency of a scream. Fucking hate this timeline.

it's totally genuine, it's just not the direction either of us care for. i really love some trans musicians; wendy carlos is a terribly unsung hero of the ambient movement. and like i said, i really feel a lot of what antony & the johnsons had to say. but punk is a diverse movement; there have been rightwing punks and leftwing punks since the dawn of... well, punk, i guess. they're singing their song, and we gotta support that, even if it's not a song we particularly enjoy.

i don't think ideology and catchy tunes are mutually exclusive; indeed, i think it's precisely what made punk resonate in the first place. when i see local bands practice that praxis, i do my best to support them. when i see local bands being lazy, i respect all the work that went into that set which i found lackluster. but at the end of the day, if you want to hear more catchy punk, why not write some catchy punk?

i realize i missed a sentence here 'cause i'm kinda drunk; don't support punks with hate for minorities, because that's fucked.

>it's just not the direction either of us care for.
Yeah, completely true. But, in a way, isn't punk a way against something that's being forced down our throats?

Maybe Rotten was right an punk needed to die, it was always against something and that something was the thread when it comes to the political side of it, except now is it's political but propagandistic.

Then it's... strange for saying the least and punk would stop being diverse since its sound, the biggest reason of its diversity, would be conditioned in a way when the line between having a political view and propaganda gets blurried.

Shit, now I have a headache

>there have been rightwing punks
This is interesting. Go on, pls.

yeah i joined FB just to join the DIY groups. you have to APPLY to join them, like explain “what does DIY mean to you”

and it’s all just fuckers promoting their soundcloud or music videos. nobody is posting the shows. guess you have to be in already to know about those :(

>isn't punk a way against something that's being forced down our throats?
for the people who are singing about queer issues, it's precisely that. they feel, about their entire lives, the way we feel about being fed the queer agenda. it's only no longer a minority voice, despite being a minority voice. what i mean by that is, their voice is accordant with the status-quo, which dampens the "punk edge" of their music. but it's still transgressive in its own way.

i don't think that makes it propagandistic; only the voice of the vocal minority. i think that's a good thing for society, and indeed, a good thing for music; but also a reductive thing for punk music.

as for right-wing punks... have you never heard of skinheads? and i don't mean oi skinheads, but nationalist skinheads.

i should ask the question--where do you live and what's your relationship with your local punk scene?

>Naples, FL
>There is no music scene

>orange county, california
>pretty good desu. diy shows just about every week here

>i don't think that makes it propagandistic; only the voice of the vocal minority. i think that's a good thing for society, and indeed, a good thing for music
I am the complete opposite of this entirely. Treating minorities and appeal to them as if they were a majority is the worse cancer in the 21st century imo. Having said that; there's nothing wrong with minorities.

>as for right-wing punks... have you never heard of skinheads? and i don't mean oi skinheads, but nationalist skinheads
I meant as for music not some dumb sub-culture.

Yas Forums already has Soundcloud and Bandcamp thread where everybody promotes their band, or their friend's band. Seems rather pointless to join Facebook to do that. Maybe if you like a band a lot on either of those places, you could ask them where their next gig would be.

What about Mecht Mench and Tar Babies? I thought those two bands were better than Killdozer.

>punk
grow up

"I'd rather stay a child, and keep my self respect, if being an adult means being like YOU"-Jello Biafra

>Jello

>Getting beat up by a bunch of kids at Gilman
lol if your ideal of punk ends at Jello Biafra or fucking Johnny Rotten you may be an actual retard.

Fuck you, Jello is the most intelligent man in punk

yeah, no,i don't think you can be punk & checking social media all the time at the same time, nah

I like Jello, I don't think he's the most intelligent guy in punk though. Ian MacKaye, Richard Hell, and Penny Rimbaud are all people I think more highly of, off the top of my head.

>shitty devo ripoffs
list some please. i love me some devo imitators even if they objectively suck dick

>city
Cringe

there's a fuckton of hardcore isnt there? like i swear there's a new show announced like every week.

Manchester UK
Bunch of cringe 16 year olds in shitty pop punk bands trying to act like johnny rotten (who is also a mong)

Yeah tell me about it, a minority of genuine bands out there, uboa is sick tho for noise

>glasgow
i don't know can any other scottish anons tell me

should go without saying that mexico's ska/punk scene is the same as it always was, sure you don't exactly have the most politically informed groups around here, and having folks get a high on in and near concert venues uncontested by the police is a weird sight so, yeah, numheavy my guy.

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

Rumour is that Uboa rapes, Simona Castricum is the best Melbourne trannycore

Where do you think you know me from?

Tallinn, Estonia
pretty fun stuff lol
buncha noisy hardcore
no pop punk at all
a few classic punk bands

since Estonia is so small, everyone knows everyone and the scene is similar over the whole country

but Tartu, the 2. largest city has more crusties and full bloen political antifa bamds than tallinn

we also have a little skinhead stuff going on in tallinn, theyve been around for a long time, since the 90s (the same people). gotten pretty notorious, but most of them are normal family guys now, living normal lives, except they still party.

the people are pretty musical, everyone's in 1-3 bands and has a one man band on their own lol, lots of experimentation.

the main bands still usually end up making very fast, grindcoreish stuff with a few experimental songs.

fellas are living the life, drinking booze, working in bars, partying every day 8)

My sister in law is Estonian and I've always wanted to visit there.. Hearing it's full of grindbros has raised my interest to a new height.

>small town in central PA
>I wish there was a scene around here, but the scene here is nonexistent

I didn't think I'd find someone on Yas Forums who also listens to Killdozer.

Based.

NY here. Breddy good

Unironically tinder and discord

Providence is the diet Boston Punk scene.

Still pretty active, although I don't know much beyond Dropdead and a huge list of no-name Crust Punk bands. Downtown Boys are one of the better known bands that formed relatively recently. There's also Six Finger Satellite.

In greater RI, there's also Verbal Assault.
