I don’t hate it, but i can’t listen to it. Look, i can appreciate the lyrics, the culture, the way that the aggression and lack of technicality to the music adds to the message and aesthetic.
but i just can’t listen to it man, i can’t understand the words, the there’s 1 drum beat to every punk song, the only thing i think about when a punk song comes on is that they’re usually mercifully short.
i can listen to death metal, noise, hyperpop, tons of stuff that’s obnoxious and noisy and harsh. but punk is just too much
This right here. I don’t know what it is but I’ve never heard punk that really clicked for me.
I think a lot of what punk does, hip hop does better. But I’ve been seeing an interesting synergy between trap and emo lately, which I think is natural given where the genres came from. But you only get really good lyrics from small artists who haven’t been bought out yet.
I remember trying to like the Sex Pistols in high school and just couldn’t get into it. I’m more of a ska guy myself. While they have a serious reggae bent you should give Upstanding Youth a listen, they’re genuinely good musicians. Also Mad Caddies. https://youtu.be/wVAfXyJ1jXU https://youtu.be/H1HCcJk8TNg
