Favorite Subgenres of Punk..

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

So you dirty bums whats your style..

Mine personally would have to be hardcore. How can you go wrong with 1 min songs at 300 beats per minute; proper dancing speed.

Edit:I didn't add Crust because I personally have a strong distaste for it and I forgot all about it.

[scarletghoul]

voted psychobilly but tbh horrorpunk is the best and should be on there

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

I guess i should have added an "other" choice.

[Jimmie Higgins]

Noise/lo-fi/garage-punk because they are the more psychedelic variants of punk. I voted psychobilly... but that's oh so 90s:lol:

What's cow-punk?

[Jimmie Higgins]

I guess i should have added an "other" choice.Heh-heh. Yeah asking punk-rock fans to pick one of only 12 different choices... too narrow, no one is going to agree on any of them:laugh:

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Heh-heh. Yeah asking punk-rock fans to pick one of only 12 different choices... too narrow, no one is going to agree on any of them:laugh:

I guess your right, it all depends on the mood I'm in on what I prefer, even 20 choices would be to much but I just chose the more common choices to narrow it down.

[Fawkes]

I love all of those, but I can't say I've ever heard of gypsiepunk.

[Weezer]

I like Ska a lot and garage punk.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

What's cow-punk?

Its punk rock mixed with a bluesy/country/folk sound

Pronghorn and hank the III perfected it.

Give this a listen..

It's a cross between a polka-beat and you guessed it punk rock

[scarletghoul]

Are there any gypsy punk bands that are not gogol bordello ??

[ZombieGrits]

Are there any gypsy punk bands that are not gogol bordello ??

nope :D

Personally I love protopunk, it's got just the right amount of rock 'n roll pomp in the mix, and that confrontational attitude we all love in punk rock. The genre is genetically engineered to make you feel cool :redstar2000:

[fa2991]

Pop punk because it's the least pretentious/annoying.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Leningrad and The Black Penny Remedy are honorable mentions.

[777]

I'm the only one that likes Oi! ?????:confused:

Everyone knows Oi! is the only REAL punk of any worth!

[Il Medico]

Post Punk. But I like a lot of the others.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Where's crust punk? His Hero is Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Invincible Summer]

Where's crust punk? His Hero is Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My guess would be anarcho-punk = crust punk

[ed miliband]

Post-punk got my vote.

[Jimmie Higgins]

What about neo-retro protopunk?

^Their mission: "Gaying up the punk scene and punking up the gay scene."

But this is the dude who wrote the above Hunx n' his Punx music is still the best.

Don't like it? Too bad. This is what happens when you effectively decriminalize pot in Oakland.

It's all just the rock version of this, stupid dumb and hip hop punk rock:

Hmmm SKA ore OI! im not sure...

Hmmm SKA ore OI! im not sure...

Has to be Oi! I mean... since when have saximaphones been cool?:D

[IllicitPopsicle]

Honestly, very few punks like only one kind. Shit sometimes just gets old, and you move on to something else without ditching the original stuff you listened to entirely.

[Os Cangaceiros]

late 1970's/1980's West Coast hardcore.

[Stand Your Ground]

Tough one...I'm gonna go with Oi followed by Anarcho at a close 2nd.

I've only just started gettin into anarcho-punk and it is brutally awesome! You should post some bands man!

[mosfeld]

Not on the list but POWERVIOLENCE!!!!

The Casualties
The Exploited
Black Flag

There's alot, search Google, you'll find plenty.

[Jimmie Higgins]

I heard a rumor that Jerry Brown was running for Governor of California again, but it's probably just another lie from Meg Whitman's campaign.

Black Flag

Those are not anarcho-punk bands. The Casualties and Exploited are street punk, and Black Flag is hardcore punk. Anarcho-punk is like Flux Of Pink Indians and Crass.

I don't particularly like anarcho-punk though, the lyrics are stupid and the music is boring. Hardcore punk is my forte (though I like others, particularly pop-punk like The Queers and Screeching Weasel).

It's all similar to me...

[Widerstand]

Hardcore punk, definitely. Also post-hardcore (and screamo).

Tbh I find Anarcho-Punk a very dumb genre term, as it is slapped on a lot of bands simply because they have somewhat Anarchist themes in their lyrics. Unless anyone wants to argue that The Ex, Crass , Chumbawamba and The World/Inferno Friendship Society actually sound alike.

Lack of Folk Punk is disturbing, they have some of the best leftist bands =(

The differences aren't that obvious to hear, especially due to somewhat shitty quality of a lot of records, but they're not small either.

Hardcore Punk:

I can tell the differences pretty easy, tbh. If you get into the genre it's easier to tell the differences, a lot of people can't tell metal genres apart either if they don't listen to it either (same goes for pretty much any genre with subgenres).

[Widerstand]

"lol it's just angry screaming"

[Stand Your Ground]

I try to leave music in general categories rather than to break it down into subgenres. Too complicated. I like things simple.

[MrCharizma]

I would go a mixture of Hardcore and Ska.
They're both really interesting and good to listen to.
A lot of hardcore for me, is too hardcore ha. Which is when I turn to Ska :D

[gorillafuck]

On another note, how is ska a subgenre of punk?:confused: Ska came long before punk, and aside from some 3rd wave bands there has never been any sort of punk influence in ska whatsoever.

3rd wave is what I meant. Operation ivy, The suicide machines, and Sublime.

I was hoping y'all would know that's what i was talking about so i didn't have to get all technical.

[Tomhet]

CRUST PUNK assault squad!!!!!

[Adi Shankara]

what would GG Allin be? :cool:

[GreenCommunism]

Emotional Hardcore. cause PG.99 said it's all punk rock.

[∞]

what would GG Allin be? :cool:

Shit...

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

'77 Punk/Old school punk

[Weezer]

After looking into it, I really enjoy cowpunk.

No, the other way around - ska music influenced certain punk bands.

And another video for the hell of it from my favorite band to fake a spastic-fit to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rMXtUSuDK8&feature=related

[Omi]

Hardcore and more melodic hardcore acts, some D-beat as well, especially those from Scandinavia. They regularly tour the north of europe and play shows at local punk venues around my hometown. Always great shows, despite me being more into metal and not that into the Oi/classic kind of punk music.:thumbup1:

[727Goon]

I dont see folk punk on this list

[Pjotr]

I chose hardcore, but I actually like most subgenres especially riot grrrl, postpunk, protopunk, ...

And GG Allin is more a kind of (lame) transgressive act then a genre of music.

[Widerstand]

Hey folks, I just eargasm'd

nymh9z4YTaE

[Amphictyonis]

GrindCore.

[RadioRaheem84]

I really like Patchanka or the Ska infused punk of French band Mano Negra and Manu Chao.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

Where are power-violence, emo-violence, and epic crust?
WHERE IS JAZZY POST-HARDCORE?!

[Widerstand]

WHERE IS JAZZY POST-HARDCORE?!

Are we talking about the likes of Encrypt Manuscript, The Blood Brothers, The Nation Of Ulysses and The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower here? I love me some Jazzy post-hardcore!

Submission Hold (esp. Progress ...) ?

I have never before heard of them...listening to their myspace now.

oh wow.

I'm in love.

[R.K.D.N]

Battle of the Skoi up there. An all encompassing name "Dharma Punk" bassically sacred duty punx. :thumbup1:

[EvilRedGuy]

Industrial Punk, search for "GRRZZZ" other than that whatever "The Exploited" and "Dead Kennedy's" make.

[R.K.D.N]

I should clarify, my favorite genre is Folk Punk and my favorite origin of this style of punk is nm Folk Punk, also see Noah Levine's memoir in print Dharma Punx:laugh:
