Yes, its hard to call yourself a fan of punk music if you dont have some kind of knowledge/respect fo where it came from. But i dont see why theres so much resentment towards GC and Avril Livegne. I mean would you rather have them completely rip off bands like "The clash" etc . You may not like the sound of it but remember there are a lot of younger people who never got the exposure to the classic punk bands you did.

Im not a big fan of "GC" or Avril myself but i wouldnt like someone telling me that my bands are trash, and i dont know real rock just because I dont go around blasting Metallica or Led Zepplin all day.

That's true, but I think that what real fans of punk music are saying is that if you're a true fan, you'd go back and look up all the classic and real punk groups of the past. I probably would if I was a true fan, but it's different for everyone. I understand what you're saying though.

But i do get what your saying though. Like when GC is on TRl and theres all these young girls wearing there torn up classic t shirts and ties with colorful non mathcing socks posing as real punk fans. When you know there probably the girls that just got off the N Sync/Backstreat bandwagon. Kinda sad really

Right, that's what I'm talking about. Those girls who say they love Avril and the others are the same people who listened to those pop groups and went crazy for them. When this punk wave came through, I was just thinking that true fans of punk must've want to spit at them.
