Punkers Hate Us More...Look

Punk is great. Long live PunK!

this whole argument on the punk web site is making me die of laughter,

why did the progs go over there and just go off on those punk heads for no reason, the punks dont like prog so what, dont mean u go ballistic on them and go out of your way to say your music is better or that prog changes so its better, they should halve just sayd,

hey, progs better to me becasue of this reason, goodbye

that should have been it but no, a coulple of guys had to go and make progs look like a bunch of fags who pick fights with anyone who has an opinion different than theirs.

We all look like a bunch of Hitlers right now because of them, I feel like goin over there and explain taht it dont matter and that both styles of music are different and that doesnt mean one's better than the other,

can't believe the fools those progs made of us.

i think i can safely say that i enjoy both prog and punk
at the same time, albeit for different reasons.
everybody should just lighten up a little and it's
hilarious to note that it seems to be the old punks
who have the largest chip on their shoulder.

punk to me was never about the music it was all
political. and as they prepared their rebellion against
society (which i am all for most of the time) they
naturally selected key targets and culturally it just
had to be the pompous prog rockers with their
mansions on the banks of the river thames and their
quadruple-sided concept LPs.

but let's keep politics with ethics and attitudes and i'd
eve go as far as saying that ELP were much more
punk rock than some of the punk rockers of '77,
because they never ever sold out in a way that the
punk rockers were ever exploited, swallowed and
dumped by the industry and audience. i bet the sex
pistols wouldn't exactly have minded in filling up the
olympic stadium in montreal in 1978 or whenever it
was, except that they never had the stability to work
up to such an event.

oh, well, whatever...

I haven't heard it, unfortunately... but I know this one, also prog/punk:

Indeed, Teaflax. Let's face it - both genres have their fair share of ignorant followers and no amount of reasoning will alter their blinkered perspective. Move along, chaps, nothing to see here...

Why don't you behave like adults and ignore their pathetic existence?

 Personally I can't abide much in the Punk genre.  But I can see the appeal in it and I have no problem in listening to punk if it offers something that sets it apart from the crowd.

  For that reason I can't see much reason in berating them merely because they mouth off about prog.  If they choose to disregard an entire genre of music that contains much beautiful, sublime and moving material purely on the basis of fashion, then it's their loss.  If they really can't stand prog, then fine.

 Great music can be found in every genre, every style and every country.  Open your ears.

I actually do like some of AFI's older material.  Outside of that, there is very little punk that I like, and I have given it a chance.

I mainly don't get the awkward hair styles and piercings that these people get in their faces as if it makes them an individual.  Perhaps the emo/hardcore scene and the punk scene have fused, which is why it's much worse these days.  In the 70s, punk was much more geniune. 

This pop punk music (Blink 182, New Found Glory, All American Rejects) is really bad.

Actually , this was a fairly good laugh, but our guys did not fare too well! Actually , their forum looked a bit like the layout of ours. Some of the members sounded a bit like ours, and they swore just a tad more......... my god!!!!!! They could be our twins!!!!!

Hope these punks don't venture out here , they will laugh twice as hard as I did!!

punk was about the attitude!!!!!

Prog is about skill!
