It has early-2000's energy and a nice melody. 8/10.Yesss! I knew you guys would love it!
Sorry, no. You forfeited your time by picking bad music again.One of these days ima pick a punk song you love. Mark my words mister!
Next time, please choose a song worth hearing.
With my eyes closed this is extremely not my genre.
The video however evokes a visceral hatred reaction.
One of these days ima pick a punk song you love. Mark my words mister!
Sorry mate, this is very much NOT punk.The Ramones created pop punk, and theyre very much a punk band. NOFX is a punk band and Franco Unamerican is very much a pop punk song.
Pop Punk is still punk.
Hard disagree. And this goes for any "Pop Fusion". Once you introduce Pop, it becomes Pop.So then nofx stopped being punk once they released Franco Unamerican? Dead Kenedys stopped being punk when they put out I fought the law? Face to face is no longer punk because of Blind? And Sum-41 suddenly became punk when they put out hardcore albums?
One of these days ima pick a punk song you love.
I'm detecting the flaw in your plan.Challenge accepted!
Actually, to be completely fair, there is preciselyonesong that you could potentially win with. Good luck figuring out which one it is! You've only got to try tens of thousands of songs from across about 50 decades.
If you can't guess it in the first 100, I'll give you a hint.Heres 50. Am I close?
Also, I can think of at least a couple different potential loopholes for the original challenge. If you manage to find one of those, I'll magnanimously acknowledge you as the winner anyway.

I did the same thing he did.
Nope.I agree that eve 6 is definitely not a punk band, but Id say that song skews close enough to the pop punk genre to include it. Panic! Is (or at least was) emo, which is a sub genre of punk, and Paramore was def pop punk in that first album. Theyre a completely different genre now though.
To be fair, I kind of like Misery Business, I Write Sins Not Tragedies, and Inside Out. But I don't love them.
And I'm not sure I'd call Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, or Eve 6 punk bands in the first place (Paramore leans a bit too much into pop and alt rock, Eve 6 tends towards Southern California alt rock, and Panic has been called pop punk and emo punk but there's a lot of other influence in there as well), so I'm not sure they'd even count anyway. Definitely not those specific songs, per se.
(Or, at least, I'd argue that the parts of those songs I do like are less the punk aspects, and more the pop/rock aspects)
Incidentally, "band that used to play punk, but then went mainstream and mostly stopped playing punk in favor of more traditional pop/rock" describes a number of different bands. And it's the reason why I probably wouldn't say a song like "Gone Away" by The Offspring counts, even if they were technically a punk band for at least some of their time. It's not really a punk song . You could probably throw Everclear into that mix as well.
And now that I've gone off on that tangent... the swing revival might be dangerous ground as well, depending on where you think it falls on the ska/punk versus the swing/big band/jazz side of the line. I definitely lean more towards swing/jazz, but the ska is definitely in there.
I did the same thing he did.Ill pretend I didnt hear that.
Also is the song you like by Kill Lincoln? Cuz if it isnt, it should be. Youd love them if you like ska. Youd also dig old Goldfinger.
Oh no, I definitely don't like ska. Though that might be semi-related to the hint I was going to give you.Fun Fact: Fugazi was the very first emo band!
Also semi-related to the clue is the fact that Orange 9mm once almost hung out and partied at my apartment in the late 90s. But then didn't due to scheduling issues.
NOT related to the clue, but semi-related to the last bit of info - I went to high school with some of the members of a different band that played on the Warped Tour in the early 2000s.
...the clue was basically going to be that my roommate in college was huge into the punk scene in general (he was Straight Edge at the time, though that became a hilarious punchline years later when he started drinking more than most of his friends). And most of the posters he had on the walls were punk bands (including Fugazi). And he was pretty heavy into ska and skate punk. And he kept trying to get most of the rest of us to listen to his music. So I was exposed to a TON of punk bands in the late 90s era. He was the first case of someone trying to desperately find a punk song that I would like.
...and I hated pretty much all of it. Which is basically where my anti-punk leanings tended to start. Though arguably they started years earlier, because my taste and preferences for music leans heavily into the melody side, and that has never been punk's strong suit. But college was where I heard tons of punk I'd never heard before, so suddenly I had the exposure to realize I didn't like it.
I will admit that he managed to slightly win me over with Bad Religion. Mainly because I kind of tolerated a few songs off Recipe for Hate (Struck a Nerve, Portrait of Authority). And I kind of like American Jesus.
It is arguably the only punk album I have ever owned on CD (again, I'm counting Everclear as a border case).
But it is NOT the punk song I would classify as an option for "love".
Also if you like melody, why dont you like pop punk? Its literally pop chord progressions played
Did your friend ever successfully get you into punk? Or were you saying a song by bad religion was the song you were hinting at? (Great band btw)
For the same reason I can enjoy Coca-Cola and hate mayo, and not view a glass of MayoCoke as an appealing option.But if I post any you turn them off before you even get to the good part you cant challenge me to find one you like and then dismiss it before the first chorus.
Once you start mixing the things I don't like into the things I do like, the end result is generally going to be something I dislike.
Or to put it another way, I tend to like pop. But the more you move it towards pop punk (or even just straight punk), the less I'm going to like it.
Oh, hell no. That's sort of why I'm confident you'd have a very hard time ever finding a punk song I like. Because I've heard a lot of punk, and I dislike or actively hate most of it.
As for Bad Religion, no. I definitely don't love them. They were firmly in the "sorta like" category. And even then, only for a couple of songs off one album.
But knowing that might point you more in the right direction to find the one punk song I'm willing to admit that I kind of love.
