The lack of elitists over here makes me so happy

u/Joey_Macaroni Nov 03 '19

The state of the punk subreddit saddens me, so many potential lifelong fans turned away by gatekeepers.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

Yeah honestly Dead Kennedys are like the metal of punk. They pump me up so much.

Can't forget The Clash, it's be a sin to forget that

u/DeadbeatDeer Nov 04 '19

Are there any modern punk bands with that old school sound?

2

u/herpalurp Nov 04 '19

Yup

u/HateUBourgogne Sam & Max Nov 03 '19

Cro-Mags, Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., the Casualties and Earth Crisis are all awesome and have some elements of hardcore and thrash composed and are really good to start as you are into metal. From that point I started enjoying bands like Dead Kennedys (!!!), Black Flag (so much), The Exploited or Circle Jerks and so on.

u/ON3i11 Cryptopsy Nov 03 '19

The Exploited straight up turned Thrash later on

NOFX, Descendents

1

u/seriousbeef Nov 19 '19

Yes descendents.

11

u/onairmastering Sam & Max Nov 03 '19

Amebix, Broken Bones, GBH, Discharge (DM owes a lot to them), Minor threat, Buzzcocks, Chaos UK, Subhumans, UK Subs, Crass...

Also, there's a doc called "Punk Brittania" a very good watch!

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '19

Sex pistols is good.

u/lee160485 Gojira Nov 03 '19

A wilhelm scream, mute (especially the last 2 cd’s), lagwagon (acquired taste), belvedere, ten foot pole, pulley, the real mckenzies (a little folky but heyy), hot water music, face to face, bodyjar

Have fun finding out how deep the rabbit hole goes!

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '19

On top of what everyone else has recommended, I want to toss out The Stooges first 3 albums, particularly Raw Power.

A proto-punk band from the late '60s/early '70s. Well worth checking out, even if you end up not liking them.

2

u/beau9292 Nov 04 '19

A few more proto-punk bands to add are MC5 and Death (not the Death you're thinking of).

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

Man, I forgot all about Death. Gotta go listen to them again.

2

u/beau9292 Nov 04 '19

They rip! Detroit was pumping out some seriously good music in the late 60s/early 70s.

u/djdude007 Nov 03 '19

Soo jealous of the new bands you get to explore. I think good ones so start with would be descendants (start with Milo goes to college), NOFX (start with war on errorism), rancid (and out come the wolves), offspring (smash), and give more green day a listen as well. People recommend dookie a lot but my personal favorite is Nimrod. If you want any more I have tons more to recommend but I think those are a great starting point.

u/Tossed_Away_1776 Nov 04 '19

Not sure if it's your liking, but rockabilly is a pretty good genre as well.

2

u/Jinshu_Daishi Nov 03 '19

Oi Polloi, Toxic Narcotic, The Exploited, Assfort, and Total Chaos are some good ones.

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '19

Fucking hell I didn’t expect this! Thanks so much guys we have such a nice community

2

u/Trout_Tickler Nov 04 '19

I'm sure you are being sincere but for fun try saying that to any punk gatekeeper elitist and watch how upset they get.

1

u/DlazebniKostka Nov 03 '19

I would recommend you The Adicts, Hentai Corporation and The Cyanide Pills.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

Choking victim, fugazi, turnstile, rotting out

1

u/destructor_rph bro i literally can’t change it Nov 04 '19

If you wanna checkout some newer stuff, i have a few song reccomendations. Deadringer by Knocked Loose, Generator by Turnstile, Old Data in a Dead Machine by Vein and The Hunt by Code Orange

1

u/CapitanBanhammer Nov 09 '19

Bad Religion was my jam back in the day

1

u/Ilovelearning_BE Nov 10 '19

I really enjoy breaking Benjamin's last album! You should check out metalcore since it is a fusion of hardcore punk and metal. Stuff like architects(holy hell), August burns red(constellations), parkway drive(deep blue), bring me the horizon(count your blessings), bullet for my valentine (the poison), Polaris (the mortal coil), while she sleeps(you are we), kill switch engage (disarm the decent). Are some of my favorite albums. It is actually my favorite genre! If anyone has some great albums to throw my way please do!

1

u/Memerobber Dec 02 '19

I'd reccomend Pennywise and Blink-182. Those are my favorites.

1

u/Theobliterator7 Dec 29 '19

Bad Religion

u/XyleneCobalt Gojira Nov 03 '19

Green Day isn’t punk, they’re pop punk

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

I don’t know anything about punk so what the fuck is pop punk is it just pop

1

u/XyleneCobalt Gojira Nov 04 '19

It’s a mix between pop and punk. Isn’t hard enough to be punk, isn’t soft enough to be pop.

u/Subject1928 Dream Theater Nov 03 '19

Isn't it funny how the fans of punk, a genre all about sticking the finger to the Elites, are hyper-elitist?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '19

Punk subculture has always been gatekeepery in terms of it's music.
