Jaaakkkeee Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Getting more in to my hardcore punk, especially the 80s/early 90s american stuff. My dad think that the brits do it better but I disagree. What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Both countries have great bands. Both countries have shit bands. Not very constructive, but the question is a bit dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just wanted to get a debate. No facts. There obviously isn't one that is better. It's all opinion. But that's what I wanted, to see people's opinion, and maybe some youtube videos to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I like both. I think most will like both, won't they? Except the types that go to Wasted festival every year who believe Punk was invented in London in 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The only thing that would stop me voting US is the new hardcore bands coming from the UK. Some amazing stuff here. But, if we're thinking about back in the day, I vote US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if we're thinking about back in the day, I vote US.Most of those new UK hardcore bands take their cues from the American Punk/Hardcore bands and have little in common with the UK punk "sound". I prefer the US style regardless of where the band are actually from. There are no UK sounding punk bands that i actually like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Definitely America.I probably agree, but the UK still has had great punk rock bands, past and present:Snuff. Bangers Consumed. Leatherface. Without this lot, the likes of Jawbreaker or Hot Water Music probably wouldn't have existed. The fact that a bunch of of hugely unsuccessful scruffy, grumpy buggers from Sunderland had such a huge effect on US melodic punk is pretty incredible.

Swingin' Ryan Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I voted But, what is punk?But actually the UK wins just for The Clash.Agreed. UK wins. America had the NY Dolls and The Ramones but Britain had The Clash so they win on points. Don't have any knowledge or interest in the 'earnest, sweaty men in black t-shirts shouting about who's done the most press-ups' school of Punk. It's supposed to be louche and sneering. I don't believe in the whole 'Punks just doing whatever you want maaan', it's not. It's The Clash doing this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9eLeZS9OeY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 It doesn't. If you like them both the best, then so be it. But people must like one better than the other, and that's been proved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
