As much as I'd like to make a joke about Rollin's outfit, I'm afraid he might track me down and beat the crap out of me.

@hojima What are some good bands that are new? I'd love to know cause i've been searching pretty hard and am coming up little luck. What i'm seeing is that the greatest bands of this generation compare to the average bands of past generations. some sites i'm using are Indierockcafe, youtube of course, and things like that. I'd love some help.

Black Flag was so great

@Evilfetus15 There are more human beings, therefore more shitty music, but also more good music. Sure the pop is more eggregiously shitty, but that hasnt mattered for decades. Good music is dead only if you let it be and stop searching for it.

@Evilfetus15 Music took the final toll with its death? come on. That is so fucking myopic. Peopel say the same thing about EVERY FUCKING KIND OF MUSIC. "oh there hasnt been good music since the beatles / stones / elvis / black flag / minor threat / black sabbath / led zeppelin". When do people see everyone else saying the same thing about other movements or bands and realize its just fucking wrong. By sheer statistics there is more good music being made now than ever before.

@hojima And perhaps punk to those people that proclaim its death is hardcore and hardcore alone. I'm only 17, but I think punk and most music took the final toll with the death. I personally know multiple people off the top of my head would are just as happy watching a show online as going to it. I know even more people who go to a show and stand in the back texting their girls or whatever. I hate this world so much.

@Stifsim6 Im 18, so Im prettty detached from it all. I absorb a lot of it from listening to ian mackaye / henry rollins though. I don't even like black flag all that much, I appreciate them the same way I an important piece of history. Most of the music I listen to wouldn't exist without my war.

@Stifsim6 Good to know :P. It depends where you live too. My city has a great noise rock and screamo (old school shit, before it started to mean bad 00's metalcore) scene, with some early / late (Ie not nevermind) nirvana influenced grunge as well.

@hojima Assuming you are of the generation behind mine, I'm just really glad you see Black Flag for what it was. The sound could have been of higher quality, sure, but the feelings invoked are all too real in this video.
-
@hojima I think we are arguing much the same point. Sure, punk "kids" of today are more focused and tech-saavy, but there are just old geezers like me, who feel there will never be a music scene with the momentum of 1977-1986. At least there were people hammering away in their garage bands after hearing their older brothers' record collection.
And as for the beating the shit out of each other...there are many of us that even in the day, couldn't understand that. I'm mean, but not stupid.
-
@Stifsim6 Yes but they existed mainly in the 90s, and they developped their sound mainly in the 90s.
Still though, to say that punk is dead is just wrong. Hardcore punk is dead, sure. But thats just a genre, they come and go. Just because people aren't beating the shit out of eachother as much and aren't creating riots doesn't mean its less punk, it just means it got a lot smarter.
the bass player is a kid??
