True punk bands existed from 1976 to 1980. After that, punk was just a commercial phenomenon.
A cece, you don’t know what you’re talking about or do you just want to get on my nerves? :D
Blink: cute. Let’s not use this phrase to attack me, I don’t deserve it. I’ll explain: there are no ideas, just like there are none in Green Day, but at least Blink don’t take themselves seriously; they’re aware that they’re dorks and they have fun with it. However, in my opinion, they’re slightly varying their sound over time; in short, they’re not as static as Green Day, whose only evolution is to slow down more and more and become more and more politicized. Now they’ve got Smith, the Cure’s elf, writing their lyrics for them. I give the band a 6--, “the guy tries, but fundamentally he’s an idiot.”
Green Day: terrible band, and terrible in the most annoying way possible, because they think they’re a cross between Ian MacKaye and Lou Reed. I’ve read frankly embarrassing interviews with GD; they embody the concept of “poser,” and I also suspect that their cultural level is quite low. What a shame, Billie Joe’s voice is the best on the market. They’re simply the Buzzcocks with inferior lyrics, and a heavy aura of phoniness. At least Blink have that Butthole Surfers vibe; they don’t take themselves seriously, just people laughing at a fart. GD started recording in '90 with Kerplunk (which isn’t bad), but look at the label; back then Lookout produced just about everything. Okay, also Operation Ivy, but also me farting at 8 in the morning.
Anyway, I repeat and will repeat, listen to Butthole Surfers, Exploited, especially Buzzcocks and Dickies, the early Ramones; power pop is all there, you just need to throw away the lyrics that Blink and Green Day have. Or a little summary: Blondie’s disco-punk. This Greatest Hits gets 2 points off for principle.

Well, maybe, maybe not. I would give Bad Religion 4 stars for their early 80s period, then they got pretty poppy. Considering that punk is 90% attitude and mood, I’d say that if you put Bad Religion alongside Minor Threat and Circle Jerks in the same review, my applause meter would crash and break, because those guys are just too polished, they have no style, damn it. These last albums are then produced excellently, and I bid farewell to the applause meter. How much I love the raw recording of an Inflammable Material or Group Sex, those still manage to bring out the string quartet a bit. The 80-85 collection is essential, Suffer is great, a must-have, and then that’s it. Smart teacher, but with shitty students, if you allow me. The Grey Race is a terrible record, a power pop album like Green Day. So many good feelings. Where's my can?

Yes, I even specified it in the review :p
Choices, being in a trip staring at some damn flower is another choice, you do what you want, they do too.

If you notice, being a loser is the common denominator of every great artist in this genre. From Biafra trying to become president to the supermacho of the Husker Du who’s tangled in an incredibly messy homosexual affair in private, to Vicious, managed by MacLaren, who ultimately makes a big mistake, and Rotten, who finds success only while messing around, and when he produces masterpieces, no one gives a damn. Punks are losers by definition for me.

Great Bad Brains, anyone who has something to say against Bad Brains deserves to have their belly sliced open by a beer can split in half. However, I believe it's objective that the MT are more seminal, and there are really very few groups that come close to them.

The Fugazi are so different, but if you listen to the latest EP by the MT, you can already hear an embryo of the Fugazi.

Yes, hats off to the Germs, just to say that the MT distanced themselves so much from punk '77.

There's another one before Acido Acida, though I don't remember the title. It's cuter.

Personally, you and that "duloz" (jerk, stupid, son of a rich dad, and other assorted names) are not the kind of people who throw stones and then hide their hands.

For me, they don't have a clue of "local," they're annoyingly English-like. I really don't understand where you hear that, to be honest.
