*shudders* ..... There aint that many types of punk... the big ones are emo, ska, hardcore, old school, prog, and popOriginally posted by punkerific_darz
Both? There's not only two types of punk. There are various genres. Ska-punk, Skate-punk, surf-punk, emo-punk, hardcore-punk, Christian-punk etc. I'd have to say I'm emo, ska punk. The Get Up Kids, Dashboard, Thinktank, A, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Hey Mercedes, Millencolin, The Early November, Straylight Run, Noise Ratchet, Starstruck, Silverstein, etc.
punk these days shouldnt be called punk though, the vast majority of punk has lost what being a punk was all about, The Offspring, Green Day, The Ramones..etc, were the ones whom i still listen to, the old school ... and some new prog punk such as Mars Volta on the side.

I prefer to classify in terms of bands rather than genres, seeing that almost all musical genres have a minority of good groups worth listening to....And much that isn't, shall we say.
WERD!!!!!
.... im quite varied nowdays, whereas a few years back i was mainly grunge/metal, i have since branched out into everything except Dance/Techno/RnB/HipHop/Rap....
