A logical reason to not like
the casualties.
I'm not one of those posuer kids who
thinks punk is blink 182. So shut up. I know
punk and ive been listening to it for a long
ass time. The Casualties piss me off because
they die trying to state that theyre punk. I
mean, they over use the word
"punk". It's almost on all
of there cds. Theres a saying that your not
punk if you have to prove you are. To me at
least that applies. So what if your a punk
and love punk rock? You don't have to use
the word in every song. Thats why i don't
like the Casualties and stick to punk like
the Distillers ,Misfits, Ramones, Stooges,
Rancid(by the way, old Rancid kills
casualties on terms of street punk),Amen, old
AFI and so on. You probably won't agree
with me, but admit i have a point.

I love you dude
hahahahah | nausea | Old AFI is barely punk, Stooges are more on
the classic rock side, and Amen is more on
the metal side, my friend. Atleast The
Casualties haven't sold out like Rancid
have so they do NOT beat the Casualties in
street punk. Although, I do admit... The
Casualties are on the boarder of selling out.
JUST because they use the word,
"punk" a lot DOES NOT mean that
they aren't punk... Have you ever heard
their song PROUD TO BE PUNK? Huuuhh? I'm
sure you have. They're deffinatley punk
and PROUD to be it, so they express
themselves. There's no wrong in THAT. AND
the old-school punk bands are not the only
ones left, if you HAVE been listening to punk
for a long time then you MUST'VE heard of
more underground bands rather than the more
pop-ish old-school bands.
"PROUD TO BE PUNK, WE DON'T GIVE A
FUCK! PROUD TO BE PUNK! UP THA PUNX!" | Casualty_Girl | old afi is pure punk rock. what are you
talking about? ok they can be punk and proud,
and i am too, but that deosnt mean they have
to build themselves around it. plenty of
other bands are just as punk as them and dont
overuse the word "punk". oh yea
amen is a punk band, although more
technically power punk which is why you may
think them metal. and i said old rancid. old
rancid didnt sell out and were like the
definition of punk in their day. who do you
think the casualties got inspired from. maybe
not directly rancid, but at least op ivy,
which tim played in. and the stooges, well
they like started punk. their songs were far
away from the rock thing. | Revenant13 | I never said any of them weren't punk... I
said more on one side than the other, there
are no reading in-between the lines with
me... But I do not blame you for making
assumptions because you indeed do not know
me... MC5 started punk, that is that... But
it seems that we both have different
oppinions on this, and the argument is not
going to stop, so I am stopping it right
here. Yes, I know I didn't put up much of
a fight, but I have bette rthings to do with
my life ^_^ | Casualty_Girl | to be honest, ive been in many arguments
about this and your like the only one who
made a logical point in defending the
casualties. i too, have better things to do | Revenant13 | casualties OWN is all i have to say...but,
rancid and all those other bands you
mentioned are great also | rancidfreak99 | i really do agree with you that the
casualties DO sing about being punks and
living life on the streets, drinkin 40oz. and
sniffin glue...but i see no problem with
that. | rancidfreak99 | Sorry for killing the conversation but I feel
special. This conversation was written on my
BIRTHDAY! Oh my god, I feel so special, thanx
guys. By the way, kid, I totally disagree
with you, LATEZ! | ILoveSidVicious | | sell out bands.casualty grl rules!!!!!!!!!! | boyamats | The Casualties music i love it i saw them two
years ago in reno with the krum bums! you say
that they say punk on all there fucken cds?
Did one of you friends tall you that? mybe
you should listen to all of them! | Oi_Fucker | What does it matter if they overstate the
fact that their "punk".
I see your point, it does seem a little
hypocritical for a punk band to constantly
state the fact that their punk
But honestly, I don't see why it matters.
The fact is, The Casualties make some great
music.
That's all that should matter.
Judge them on their sound, not their image.
To label bands as "punks" or
"posers" defeats the whole
mentality of punk music anyways, so I
don't see why it matters.
If a band makes good music, that's all
that matters
fuck labels | CapnOrangepants | "Old AFI is barely punk,"

Old AFI is punk as shit. | losersalwayswin | | | |
