The Punk Quiz
 

We've done the Metal one so now its time for........ The Punk Quiz

I got Classic Punker...... which doesn't really seem like me but oh well.

The people who make these things have too much time on their hands..... but then so do I for doing it.

Punk Rocker!!!

Bad Religion(pictured), Pennywise, Mike V and The Rats, etc:You're somewhat of a punker. You kind of have the opposite effect of a poser. You don't really tend to have the look of a punker, but you play the music. One of my favorite kinds of punk!



That's actually extremely accurate and it listed 2 of my favorite bands!

I kinda figured though, if bwind22 got that I knew for a fact I'd get it too.

Great men have great tastes.:D

Punk Rocker

*shrug* w/e

hmm.... there seems to be a theme here.

I'm the odd one out so far..... :p

hahaha... I am a Alternative Punker!!!

"Green Day, Blink 182, Afi, etc:You pretty much either used to be punk, and softened up, or you are one love song away from a poser."

Those are my favourite bands!! How did they know I love Blink 182! this quiz couldn't be any more true :rolleyes:

Those bands aren't even Alternative, they are emo. retards. This quiz is biased and fucking stupid. Who ever made this quiz didn't know fucking shit about punk and should be shot in the face. All those "Punk Rockers" are really poser faggots. fuck them

^^ Nah there's more poser fags in indie rock.

It is a cheesey quiz for sure. Very cliched. But it was something to do.

You would think if you made a Punk rock quiz, you would know about punk. Like a wide varity of punk music, the different types and names. And also have a unbiased opinion. I think the person who made the quiz was in fact a poser himself

Classic Punker!!!

Sex Pistols(pictured), Ramones, Misfits, etc:You are original with your punk. Some people think you're not real punk, but you're what started punk. Kick ass!

wow, thats a real fucked quiz! I don't even have a British accent!




oh, and Green Day is alternitive, not emo. :rolleyes:

What type of PUNKER are you???
Pop Punker!!!

Good Charolette(pictured),Simple Plan, New Found Glory, etc:You are whats known as a poser. You have the look down(possibly), but the music is way off. You pretty much suck, and your only fans, are teeny popper girls. Please Stop!


hahahahahhahahahahhahahahah

i hate that band and i love the pistols.

the quiz is saying that you cant appreciate punk if you are established with a home and family.

only disenchanted youth can be punks ...

true i guess - but i never was a punk - i just liked the music.


on the other hand - is ome respects i was very much a punk - i was/am all about the basics - and being myself ..

thos were punk ideals before it turned into a fashion statement.
I've always maintained that the Pistols were the only true punk band and true punk died with them..

I think the overlying theme of this thread is that nobody thinks the quiz describes them right...

Especially Deposable.

Green Day is not alternitive, they are Alternative.


And you know what ! fuck that! "Alternative" is a name for bands that are unique and have different sounds you can't label.

Like Radiohead, Talkingheads, The Pixies, all bands that you can't label easily.

Green day is fucking softcore/emo! No self respecting punk band would call their album a "Punk Opera".

Yeah...That one was pretty lame...

I got Pop Punker, too...I like a couple of songs by Good Charlotte (Bloody Valentine is my favorite by them)...But, can I really be considered a 'poser' when I never claimed or tried to be 'punk' in the first place?:rolleyes:



Hmm...Now I'm wondering if there's a 'Goth' quiz...lol...I'd like to see what that one says about me...and about you guys...hahaha...I just might be able to prove Urge wrong...

I'm gonna look for one :p

No way! There were heaps of "true punk bands" before and after them. I think the Pistols were more of a rock n roll band than a punk band. There's some truely amazing modern punk bnads out there at the moment..... there just hidden away from the majority of music press and probably prefer it that way. Some notable bands are Aus-Rotten, Severed Head Of State, Tragedy, Provoked and Witch Hunt.

Definatley. Whoever made it was a bit of a dipshit stuck in the whole cliched Epitaph Records, Sex Pistols, Exploited kinda idea. They obviously don't know shit about punk. It was probably made by some 13 y.o kid. Stupid really but as I said something to do.....

which two? Bad Religion and Pennywise are some of my favs aswell. Pennywise is my alltime fav out of any band ever.

You know, I think we should all take our guns off of green day for a bit, and point them right at the forehead of Avril Laveign. Sure, green day, good charlotte ect. suck ass and have destroyed punk, but this has gone way too far. How in the WORLD could anyone in their right minds call her punk?????!!! WTF!!

What type of PUNKER are you???

My Results:

Wild and Crazy Punker!!!

GG Allin(pictured)...it's as simple as that. You go all out to prove your craziness. Whatever it takes. But still put on one hell of a punk rock show!


WILD AND CRAZY PUNKER....FUCK YEAH! COMIN AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHAFUCKIN DAY YEAH!

^^ I was wondering when someone would get that! I bet you answered yes to the masturbating in church question :p

:D

Yep, those are the two. Bad Religion is my all time favorite band. Pennywise's older stuff is AWESOME! They're in my top 10 all time.

Regarding Green Day... They definately were punk when they came out. (And no, Dookie wasn't their first album. There was 2 before that on Lookout! Records.) Then they signed to Reprise, put out Dookie, got introduced to MTV and the rest is history. Their latest album is experimental. It could actually be considered their 'punkest' in terms of content. The entire album carries an very strong anti-government message. (In terms of music, label, popularity though, it is far from their 'punkest' one.) While I can see why you would say that about a few songs off of the new album, I would never go so far as to say 'Green Day is an emo band.'

Blink-182 is kinda the same as Green Day. Cheshire Cat is an excellent, fast, three chord, power punk album, then they switched labels, put out Dude Ranch and became teen idols. I never would have considered them 'emo' either until this latest album they put out. That thing is the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard. The fact that bands like this jump to a major labels for distribution and money purposes pretty much takes them out of punk consideration right there because the idea of punk is to be rebelling against corporate pop rock and in many cases government and other positions of authority.

Bands that come out now like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan never were really punk to begin with. They saw bands like Green Day & Offspring on tv in the mid/late 90s and said, "Oh, that's what's making money now? We can do that." Bands like these were sellouts from the moment they were formed.

But never fear... There are still good punk bands out there that have not and will not ever sell out to the corporate major labels. Bad Religion, NOFX , Pennywise, Pulley, No Use for a Name, Lagwagon, Guttermouth, The Living End, Tilt and Millencolin just to name a few that I like.

Pistols were the punkest of the punk. They had no musical talent and they didn't even give a shit. It was all about chaos and anrachy for them. They embodied a truely 'punk' attitude.

I consider Velvet Underground to be the first 'punk' band. I'm not really familiar with them too much, but I like Lou Reed's solo stuff and I give credit where it's due.





Obviously, this is all just my own personal opinion, but it's right, so get over it. ;)

The pistols were shit.

If the Pistols had no musical talent they couldn't have recorded a album or even write a good song.

MC5, The Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop were the first seeds of punk rock. They are all rock n roll bands with very unique music.

whaaaaaaaa??????!!!!!!!!

lol...I can shoot down THAT theory with two words...





Avril Lavigne



Oh Wait!...I can do it again...


Ashlee Simpson




ONE MORE TIME...


Lindsay Lohan


;)

One more? Jennifer Love Huge Tits

LOL...I editted for 'better choices'...and STILL...I missed that one... :D

The combinations of no talent actors turned popstars are endless.

Don't forget little ol' Hillary Duff...

Sid didn't even know how to play when the Pistols formed and we've all heard their rather crass vocals. Even their fans won't argue the fact that they lacked musical talent (That's not what their fans care about.) Whether you like them or not isn't relevent when considering whether or not they were punk. Personally, I'm not a huge fan, but I give credit where it's due. They were essentially the epitome of 'punk'.

They were an aggresive, but crappy, rock band from England that blew up because people were sick of disco. They made a lasting impression on music in general and if they never existed, music would probably sound pretty different right now.

The Clash > Sex Pistols

Personally, I like The Clash better too, but I don't think they had the impact globally that The Pistols did. An arguement could be made for The Ramones though...

Exactly. Sure i dig some of their songs, but it was all a publicity act to me. It wasnt about the music, or even the fans, it was about media attention and money. I still respect Johnny Rotten for breaking up the band early.

:o yawn

i love the bollocks album ... every song on it ..
for the music ..

i think the Clash are one of the most over rated bands of all time (personal opinion - not widely shared)

Yes, Sid didn't have any musicial talent. Sid was just a face on stage, a filler. But even over time Sid wanted too get better and by the end of the American Tour he learned all the songs.

But for the rest of the band, they all had talent. Just because you can't sing, drum, or play guitar the proper way doesn't mean you have no talent. Like I said before "They couldn't write songs or record a album that changed Rock n Roll histroy if they didn't have any".

What Sex Pistols fans have you talked too? I agrue that REAL fans would stick up for them and say they had talent. And no, I am not a huge fan.

People were sick of Disco? Thats why the Sex pistol blew up? The Disco era was 1977-1980. Disco was nothing when Punk started. The Sex Pistols blew up in 1976.... so how can people be sick of a type of music that wasn't even massive yet?

Get your facts straight.


:eek: The Clash is the Beatles of classic Punk. The Clash is nothing less than fucking amazing. THEY have A LOT of talent. Joe & Micks guitar riffs are awesome. I have never heard two guitar players play off each as good as them.... besides Fugazi. The Clash is more creative, has poetry than any other classic punk band.

Word

Wild and Crazy Punker!!!

Okay, so you concede an obvious lack of talent...

If someone can't sing, play guitar or drum, then they don't have musical talent, which is what I said. They changed the face of the music industry because they were the right band at the right time.

I could list off about 100 names of "REAL" fans who think that, but what good would that do? You wouldn't know any of them anyways... (As a matter of fact, I can't think of 1 single person who I have ever heard say, "Wow! Listen to this harmony!" or "Whoa! What a riff!" or anything along those lines.) I know a lot of people who like them, but what they like about them is 1)The rawness of the music, 2)the chaos and anarchy of the lyrics, and 3) the overall attitude of the band.

I kinda mis-spoke on that. When I said disco before, I actually meant the hippy/classic rock type shit. My bad.

The punks were sick of the hippy music, and not into disco (Which was getting big around the same time.) so they started their own sound.
