Who hates punk?
seemingly a lot of people here:
Punks not dead it just deserves to die
Punk is hippies
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
I feel the majority of these people have not listened to an actual underground/indie punk band that produces music, some of it borrows from poppy stuff and integrates anti-toxic-masculinity messaging and it’s all really awesome. if you’re listening to mainstream punk you’re doing it wrong
I’ve listened to 10 different full albums of punk bands. from Iggy to Otoboke Beaver to Ramones to Crass. I’ve given punk a shot, and simply didn’t like it. You can’t just assume that someone who has an opinion about something as subjective as musical taste is simply lacking in enough experience to appreciate it.
I’ve also tried 20 different beers at this point from people who were convinced that I just hadn’t tried the right one. No, I just don’t like beer, and I don’t like Punk. Not for lack of trying, but for lack of taste.
Think you’ve got it backwards, the less mainstream punk is the less palatable it tends to be for most people.
idk what non-mainstream punk you’re listening to but the kind i’ve been listening to are absolutely great
and it’s not my fault people don’t try to branch out their musical taste
like i hate to say it but if you don’t prefer the style of music punk has then that’s on you, not punk
I’ve listened to a lot of punk and it pretty much all sounds like a lawnmower going over some tree roots to me.
I’ll listen to just about anything, and do listen to a lot of genres, but punk is one of the ones that just hasn’t clicked for me. It sounds like how adderall and too much coffee feels.
I love mid 00s pop-punk but I doubt that’s what you’re talking about.
