Death Cab for Cutie – Styrofoam Plates Lyrics 21 years ago
the first verse is amazing, and this line " i'll stand up and scream if the mourning remain quiet, you can deck out a lie in a suit but i won't buy it. " even if the story's fictional you can still feel what seems like raw resentment and such. great song.

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 21 years ago
PunkRockRebel, where the FUCK did you get that idiotic "definition" of punk? "Not caring what others think" doesn't define punk. Are you implying that someone can go "crash a mall" a la Avril and not care what anyone thinks, and therefore SUDDENLY become punk!?

Punk isn't about that. Sorry. You can make an idiot out of yourself and "not care what others think" but you'll never "become punk". Thats idiotic. People like Avril and her idiotic fans (you) stuff on some hottopic clothes that aren't "preppy" and think they've undergone some transformation into punk. How ridiculous. Most of the "punk" people I know, and TONS of ACTUAL punk BANDS don't even waddle around in some Hottopic uniform. Its really stupid.

And.
Its amazing how much people will do to try and be "punk". Apparently punk is the "in" thing now, and all the insecure idiots absorb whatever shit MTV feeds them and follow some sort of "step-by-step" procedure on how to 'become' a 'punk.'

To some people this means loving Avril (PunkRockRebel), and even to OTHER idiots it means blindly hating her. I dislike Avril, but I don't come in here shouting like some sort of "punk police" going "SHE SUCKS SHES A POSER A FUCKIN FAKE POOOSSSEERRR. good charlotte is so much better! IM WAY MUCH MORE PUNK RAWK THAN HER!"

Please people, just be yourself. And be intelligent. Don't force yourself to like or dislike something in order to satisfy and insecure urge to "fit in". No one suddenly "turns" into something overnight. Most of the people who are "punk" had their own ideals and felt they fit in with the scene, they didn't MODIFY themselves to be like someone else in order to fit into a category they couldn't even UNDERSTAND.

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 21 years ago
"She asked me, 'Whats punk?' I said, 'Punks not a look, it's a lifestyle.'
...She looked confused, so I kicked over a trash can and said, 'That's punk.'
She then kicked a trash can and said, 'Is that punk?' I said, 'No, that's trendy.'"

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 21 years ago
ataris, I'm not sure if you are talking to me or not. but anyways. I only stated bands played on MTV were most likely not punk to begin with. That isn't exactly supposed to INSULT those bands, as I never said, nor do I feel that, a band that isn't punk "sucks".

Whatever.. I don't want to come off as some idiot who shoots down people for LIKING a band, it only irks me when they LABEL it as something it isn't. I'm sorry if me calling certain bands punk seemed to strike you personally, as that was not my intention. My primary intention was to show that one kid that one shouldn't STOP liking a band because it is "popular".

I'm not the best person with words. Sorry, I contradict myself dont i?.... I don't want to start an argument because you seem pretty intelligent about the subject.


To tell the truth, people can listen to whatever the hell they want to, JUST as long as they keep their asses off of things they don't understand. I'm sure there's plenty of "Avril fans" who like her but dont screech "IM A PUNK SK8R!" to everyone. Its misguided idiots, like the majority of the "fans" on here that annoy me.

There. I said more crap I'm sure none of you care about or even got... Back to being a "high school and college loser".

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 21 years ago
i don't know much about the emo scene so i won't pretend like i do and recommend bands unlike some ignorant people ;}

and what the fuck is this "once you are popular you can't be punk" shit? You've got to be fucking kidding me. You can't judge a band by their quantity of fans, that's fuckin ridiculous. Anti-Flag is pretty popular, yet I beleive theyre pretty damn "punk" in their ideals and music style.

I think a more correct statement is if a band becomes thoroughly involved with a huge corporate conglomerate, such as M(ainstream)TV, and begins doing their music for money rather than distributing a message, the band isn't punk. But then again the bands on MTV were never punk to begin with.. . .

And yes, I think NOFX is pretty punk. I'm not going "NOFX IS PUNK AS FUCK U POSEUR!", I'm saying that their lyrics and style can fittingly be classified as punk. Who cares if they have a lot of fans or not? Whoever said that shit, you are a fucking shallow idiot. You going to STOP LIKING a band because tons of people like it?! That's just as bad as LIKING a band because tons of people like it. dolt.

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 21 years ago
Okay a lot of you people here need to fucking realize you can't just "turn" punk. Putting punk in your screen name (AHEM abercrombie_punk) is not only lame but completely retarded. instant_karma very well said, if only people could take what you said SERIOUSLY.

And to whoever was all "let them listen to what they want!" Yeah, sure, they can listen to this shit and thats fine with me, but if they start DRESSING LIKE HER and thinking that makes them PUNK or some shit that's RIDICULOUS.

and phantmsangel. ohwell. I have nothing better to do, with all honestly. so I enjoy getting my frustrations out by ranting about a complete fucking idiot like avril. And so what if I "need a life"? Does that make me any less of a person than you? I don't think so.


It just disgusts me seeing people who see avril and all her ignorant antics and decide that the next day they're going to "become a punk" because MTV told them to. And her fakeness annoys me to hell. And I'll be public about my opinions as much as I want, COPE.

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 22 years ago
creed_rocks13 - punk.. an ATTITUDE? you gotta be kidding me. people who have an attitude and feel they're better than everyone are ANYTHING but PUNK. you've got to be one IGNORANT dumbass, let me tell you. punks thing about unity, and are pro-equality.

but its thinks like this, like AVRIL that DESTROY the scene by telling little kids they can be "punk" just by spending a ton of money in some capitalist corporation (hottopic.. which is by the way owned by the gap!) and crashing a mall.


and apartofmedies seems to be pretty intelligent. you people dissing her obviously find sense in what she says and can only "insult" her by saying she has no life.

so WHAT if people here, like me, have NO LIFE? i dont care. where i live its horrible, but i STILL get out some. and i can bet i've seen a LOT more bands (good bands) live than all of you have seen or ever will see.


i guess no one wanted to reply to my last post. maybe because all of it was so blatantly true none of your mindless groupies striving to be just like a manufactured makeup invested girl who cant even skate could refute my statements.

Avril Lavigne – Complicated Lyrics 22 years ago
too many posts since i last come here. just wanted to make a few points.

1- to those who think she's "hot" um.. HELLO?! thats half the reason WHY she's on MTV!!! 99.99999% of the bands on MTV have "hot" members. why? two words - SEX SELLS.
2- i don't like the word poser, because it sort of connotates "IM PUNKER THAN THOU". so i'll just stick with IDIOT. yes. idiot, no matter how trite the word is, avril is an idiot. no matter HOW many interviewers she tells that she's "punk" and a "hardcore sk8r" she ISN'T. theres nothing punk about hopping on TRL with a "PROUD 2 B AN AMERICAN" shirt and a sum 41 wristband.
2- avrils out there singing songs with the word PREPPY CLOTHES in them. hello?!!?! she's SO hung up on fashion isnt she? I suppose that also explains why she's a walking hottopic poster child.
3 - in the video avril is "playing" an electric guitar. but in the song an ACOUSTIC one is what's playing. Does she think electric guitars are more "PUNK" or soemthing? there she goes again ALL about appearance and not mentality.
4 - in an interview avril says she's a "hardcore sk8r chick". but in the shooting of the video her producers TELL her to skate, and she goes "NO! I SUX!" haha. so how'd they work around it? look at the video, she stands on the board for 2.333 seconds and then they cut to the next scene. funny.
5 - to the person who said she's an individual, WHAT THE HELL?!!? she's NOT an individual. she's liking all the bands MTV tells you are punk and pigeonholing her into a subculture SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND. individual, no. pathetic fool striving to be someone she isnt, yes.
6 - Her song perfectly describes HER!! "Acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated / Honesty Promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it " SHE'S acting like she's SOMEBODY ELSE, and SHE'S faking being something she ISN'T.
7 - for god's sake, THERE'S NOTHING PUNK ABOUT "CRASHING THE MALL"!!!!

and um.. mest_up85.. i love all those bands. yay. and i like youre little "hurley-wearing" thing. cuz theres SO many people who think hurley is 'punk', when in reality its owned by nike, a huge corporation that exploits third world labor.

i type all fast and angsty so ignore any mistakes up there and hopefully you'll all get my point. i shall be back later. because i have no life and will admit to it and wear the label with pride. hooray. :D

AFI – God Called In Sick Today Lyrics 22 years ago
I don't think Its about Jesus, I think its about him. And how he and lots of people feel about being forsaken by God. And the way he feels afterward, showing no mercy in return.

"Let's admire the pattern forming.
Murderous filigree.
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine.
Go ascend with ivy,climbing.
Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind."
Here it sort of shows how God had forsaken him. And "I'm caught in the twisting of the vine" - In the Bible God is compared to a vine. God wen't ahead of him and left him behind.

"I can't help my laughter as she cries.
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes. "
Here, "She" can be God. He doesn't seem to care if God cries, because of what God did to him he shows no mercy in return. His soul brings tears to angelic eyes.. as in Heaven might be saddened by his decision.

"Let's amend the classic story, close it so beautifully,
I'll let animosity unwind. "
Lets just end this in the best way.. I'll release my ill will and malice.

"Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully.
I'll still feel the violence of the lines. "
You can shamefully hide what you did wrong, But I'll still be hurt and affected by what happened.

"I can't stand my laughter as they cry.
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes.
And miles away my mother cries. "

Once again the same meaning as when it was sung before. But This part "And miles away my mother cries".. 'my mother' is still God, and he still cries for him.

"Omnipotence, nurturing Malevolence"

Omnipotence (absolute power - God has absolute power) feeds and fuels Malevolence (His hatred).


Overall I think this is a song about being forsaken and how upset it will make you, enough to hate and want to take revenge on whoever did it. I really think its something we can all relate to. God {er, pardon the pun}, I love this song .. Its amazing.

Thrice – That Hideous Strength Lyrics 22 years ago
WYT: I wouldn't take it actually. Its one thing about spreading your music to other people, i mean, Thrice is doing that right now... but getting on MTV starts to screw up a band and everything. A real punk band on MTV kind of turns them into hypocrites. Punk speaks out against corporate media and such, so why WOULD they be on MTV singing lyrics like that? These are some of the reasons why bands like GC and NFG aren't exactly real punk [please no ignorant groupies come attacking me].
I just wouldn't like to see Thrice like that. Not saying its going to happen, just pointing out it'd be a disheartening thing if it did.

Anti-Flag – 911 For Peace Lyrics 22 years ago
desecratedmisa - they are NOT total idiots. i dont know whats wrong with your friend, but im guessing they just seem to like putting things down. I've met all the guys {except for Chris Head} and they're all very intelligent, not to mention extremely nice. I could never picture them acting like idiots, especially after talking to them personally. Go read their interviews, too, they have very good points to make.

As far as Drink Drank Punk goes, its a JOKE SONG. Since when are bands not allowed to make a fun jokey song once in a while?

And dead_kennedys: I don't think its really a trend. Lots of bands are what you call "anti-gov" because that's how they FEEL and thats what they want to write about. None of them do it just to be "cool." Hell, Dead Kennedys have a lot of "anti-gov" songs, too, y'know...

Well, this is a great song. Very nice message they're conveying. It's great to see a 9-11 song that doesnt say "WE'LL KIIiiiIIILL WHOEVER DID THIS!" but rather pleaing for peace.

pinker and htcore got it. right on!

and, come ON. its not that she sounds pop, she's just wearing blatantly HOTTOPIC clothes. come on, clothes don't make you "punk", as much as this avril person and some of her fans are thinking.

punk is a MENTALITY. and judging by her lyrics, she has no punk mentality at all. come on, for those punkers out there who know, what kind of "punk" hops on TRL with a "PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" shirt and sum 41 wristbands? Hm..?

keep this in mind, too, most of the people in our ACTUAL punk bands DONT EVEN DRESS PUNK! take a look at anti-flag, thrice, flogging molly, bad religion, reel big fish, pennywise, NOFX, and TONS of others.

avril upsets me because she is putting out the MOST SHITTY idea of punk out there, and the little ignorant kids swallow it all up. soon we'll see 12 year old kids decked out in hottopic gear calling themselves "punks" and having no idea what the hell "oi" means.

Listen to punk, now. lets hear what so many PUNK bands have to say about our racist, bigoted, and militaristic government, eh?

Bad religion does not "suck" either. :} no band sucks, its just your opinion. sure, so you dont like them, why the hell did you have to share it, as it means nothing? Hell, i'd HATE it if everyone had the EXACT same music taste as i did.

it really appalls me at how people are listening to this and thinking she is "punk" or that they are "punk" because of this. PLUS the fact that she runs on MTV and claim's she's "punk." If avril would do her own thing and NOT claim to be a punk, that's fine. But she's on MTV giving people like you the completely WRONG image of what punk is. sorry. punk isn't about all the fashion and gear and wrist bands you can buy at hottopic. it isnt about skating through the mall, making fun of security guards, and annoying "preps." Nope. sorry. its about trying to make a CHANGE in the world for the better, to try and end racism, sexism, homophobia, and war. to think for yourselves. the fashion was just something done as a counter-culture to draw attention to their messages. NOT to look like you are "doin your own thang" on MTV. want real punk rock? How about anti-flag, NOFX, bad religion, the casualties, or even rancid? >>Oh yeah, all you people out there saying avril is your "idol" - thats not punk at all! punk promotes EQUALITY. and therefore if someones up on a stage or on TRL does NOT make them cooler or better than you.
