"Green Day did to grunge what Nirvana did to hair rock", that's not true at all. Grunge died of its own accord, really, and Green Day didn't spearhead any kind of movement or change music history in the way Nirvana did.
I agree. Grunge really died when Kurt Cobain did. Green Day's first single, Longview, hadn't even been released by then, and in any case, the music wasn't a massive shift away in sound. People who liked Green Day would generally have happily listened to Nirvana.
@@mattstrathis4328 that's what punk was in great part about, in a lot of young people's mind in the era of Thatcher. And to them marxism and its application in reality were the attractive unknown and the only alternative they thought was possible to their lives in the system as it were. Very humanly feature - want a thing you never tasted more than the one you have at reach of hand :)
@@iSkully99 The 90s punk scene was Gen X... He's talking about some of the earliest punk bands from the mid 70s... The end of the Vietnam war was the end of the Boomer era, 1975. He's talking about very few bands like the Ramones and the Stooges. He needs to explain that if that's what he means.
@@iSkully99 The baby boomer period apparently extends to the mid 60s. I always think of it being earlier than that too, but apparently that's not the case.

"Punk has always been about doing things your own way. What it represents for me is ultimate freedom and a sense of individuality." - Billie Joe Armstrong
Yea. Well I wanna wear a swastika tshirt. But I'm not allowed to. Apparently it's Not allowed in punk anymore. "Punks" won't allow it. Because it doesn't fit into their Rules and ideology.....ironic?
As long as it is in line with his contractual agreements. Sorry but Billie Joe Armstrong isn't "punk". He might've done the Black Flag thing as he claims but by the time everyone had heard of Green Day, they were basically Diet Coke and had a major label contract shoved up their asses with fashion teams dressing them up, people doing their photoshoots, whatever promotions they might've been involved in (contractual obligations are the opposite of punk). All genres have this, especially ones which started out as alternative and that's just how the music industry works but any quote he ever said was just basically the corporate sponsored version of punk which was sanitised just enough to sell hit records but still "edgy" enough to appeal to teenagers who fell for the eye-liner and the spiky hair. It is corny as hell to anyone who "missed" it and discovered punk in different ways and even went back to bands like The Velvet Underground, The Stooges - even The Sonics who barely anyone remembers. Green Day are to punk what Nickelback is to grunge. The sugar free version. Mechanically separated and reconstituted chicken parts instead of actual chicken meat. Always read the label. There is nothing wrong with liking them, especially if they get people to explore the origins of music genres and all that and how music evolves but "pop" sucks the soul out of anything original because it all becomes superficial, castrated, has its heart ripped out and the product you get back is shallow but nice and shiny. It happened with the Sex Pistols, The Buzzcocks (arguably one of the first genuinely "pop punk" bands) and others and people have said that The Ramones were one of the first pop punk bands, yet they forget that they hardly sold any records when they were first around but inspired countless bands. Its like the saying about The Velvet Underground, something like: 'Only a thousand people bought the record but every one of them went on to start a band' and they are still influential now. The Ramones basically apply in the same way, they inspired the aesthetic of Green Day but they were street hoodlums who got ahold of some cheap equipment, guitars and played in grotty NYC bars, some of which became super trendy like CBGB (I think it was called) where some legendary bands ended up playing. But they had to struggle for years a bit like the cool punk bands of the 80s like Black Flag, Bad Brains etc. and a whole point of the "punk ethos" which came before "punk" and will always exist in music and art was that a group of people could get a guitar or two, a bass, a drum kit, a space to jam in (and a singer if they needed one) and they could do it themselves. To be Green Day by the time the majority of people had heard of them, you'd have to bend over and spread 'em for Universal or whoever. Always read the label.
I love how poised and articulate Jello Biafra was in making his statement. Dee Snider in front of Congress was another fantastic example, both showing much more integrity and the ability to actually listen to the other side, even when they weren't given the same respect. Cheers, gentlemen!
people tend to forget that siouxsie and the banshees was one of the more extreme bands from the first years the scream is the less pop album punk thrown by 1978 and maybe one of the few albums that went beyond rock standards( there with suicide)
@@colina1330 Oh yeah. For example in Poland iconic thing is band Dezerter fooled governament and militia (now police) by making a single "Ask a Militiaman ". Governament thought its nice propagand song about how big of a role model militia is when actually they made idiots out of them. There was nearly nothing to do to stop it as the song was even transmitted by several radio stations
If only there were TV shows in the UK still willing to show little-known bands like them. Nirvana and Oasis also both got the UK TV debuts on the show, when they were also barely known. It has to be said the show (The Word) was mainly terrible, but up and coming bands often got on TV then. Now, if you aren't an established mainstream artist, TV doesn't want to know.
That L7 video was on the uk's channel four series called "The Word" in the early 90's Nirvana did a set on the show aswell, The program was mental and intentionally pushed limits of what could be shown on tv at the time
And to think: the only reason FEAR was on SNL was because Belushi was a fan, and the only way he'd agree to a cold open cameo was if they were made the musical guest. They were supposed to do the soundtrack to Belushi's final movie Neighbors, but it got cut.
"Straight Edge" was just a Minor Threat song and other people took it and made a whole movement that was quite often very ridiculous and malignant and which missed the point entirely; that's really what Ian Mackaye was saying in the totally not iconic albeit certainly punk rock interview presented here. Basically what he says in every interview where it comes up, which is basically every interview. He only keeps talking about it because people ask him about it; he'll be answering for it for the rest of his life, no doubt. And since he's a responsible guy he takes responsibility and explains it. I'm sure he's totally stoked on being recognized for it here, too. He pretty much divorced himself from the cult of Straight Edge decades ago. I think the interview where he talks about telling the Straight Edge kid to fuck off when that kid was giving him shit about drinking an iced tea because tea has caffeine was way more of an iconic punk moment than what was included here. Every Fugazi show was an iconic moment in punk history; should have just picked one and used that. Also, here was a copious amount of pot smoke filling the venue at the Fugazi show I was lucky enough to attend in my youth; that would never happen at a Straight Edge show. The band members were/are sober vegan dudes, for sure, but I doubt any of them actually identify with the label Straight Edge, considering what they all saw it become.
I remember this phase passing through the music scene in my city back home. I think it was more a fad than an actual justified/healthy way to live. Bands would form on the basis of being straight edge/vegan, all draw black crosses on the backs of their hands and take pictures together. I never understood it, and I'm pretty sure the phase didn't last long either..
I remember that episode of The Word when it first aired. I was also recording on VHS as I was a fan of the band, so I got to do an action replay to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. Good times.
This needs a Part 2 with: 1-A) Sid kills Nancy 1-B) Sid kills himself 2) Darby Crash's (very) poorly-timed suicide 3) Kurt Cobain's suicide 4) Any (or EVERY) GG Allin talk show appearence 5) Plasmatics: Wendy's on-stage arrest 6) the 1982 "anti-punk rock" episode of Quincy 7) Elvis Costello changes songs on SNL 8) MC5's "Fuck Hudson's" ad 9) Iggy & Bowie on Dinah Shore! 10) Ramones on Sha-Na-Na!

@@bartanderson2525 not true. He had a cult following like no other except in religious terrorist organizations. Certainly in rock n roll. I do know people who were scarred from seeing him live. But I don't think they knew what they were in for.

My Favorite are the Ramones ! I visit their Concert in Düsseldorf october 1987 ! IT was a fantastic Concert ! So much Power Like their First concerts from 1974 ! greetings from Lüneburg in Germany !

@@FlyingV555 Milo Aukerman is the vocalist of The Descendants. They essentially were the first Pop Punk band. In early Blink 182 songs, Tom intentionally sounded more like Milo.
The funny thing is Real 'Punks' hated the label of being 'Punk' ...think of how A.I.C., Soundgarden, Nirvana et al. Who were not happy being defined as 'Grunge '. They are outsiders, pioneers, artists... Look at what Lydon did with PIL !
Same thing with Goths, Sisters of mercy hated it so much even though they were goth icons. I don't think there were any goth bands who were actually ok with the label!
There's a quote that I think is attributed to GQ magazine: "In an ideal world, Green Day would be paying royalties to Stiff Little Fingers until the day they die"
That straight edge dude: "why would you not want to be in the moment". He doesn't understand two things, you can do drugs to enhance mood &/or to elevate your thinking & sometimes you need an escape from the moment. I do however, agree with the "why poison yourself" comment, although he's being a little over dramatic about it.
I suspect genuine punks would have pumped themselves with a lethal hot shot on learning they would one day appear in generic 10 minute videos for a 2 minute section, alongside other Punks they despised, where they are represented to new generations by by profit seeking media companies too cheap to licence original extended music, choosing rather narrations of Wikipedia biographies and quotes from open source music press. Publicity and paparazzi photos delivered via tiny mobile phone screens with shit sound quality. Such a future surely demands death.
Damn you do raise some valid points however perhaps true punk is being so secure in who you are you don't worry how others chop you up. Plus at least new generations are getting a glimpse of history and might choose to delve futher, whereas they might not have earlier. definitely agree that Capitalism has commodified subcultures and the culture, but I suppose we must learn to continue to survive somehow, giving our situations. Life will always evolve and change, nothing will ever be able to stay wholly stagnant.
Why did they distort Sid's face in the thumbnail. I've seen the photo they used for it many times before and he doesn't look like that in the pic normally.
The fact that we have Ramones first show on tape is the greatest thing ever
Pretty sure that was at CBGB's, and I think that Patty Smith and The Talking Heads also premiered that same night/weekend

@@FlyingV555 Milo Aukerman is the vocalist of The Descendants. They essentially were the first Pop Punk band.
In early Blink 182 songs, Tom intentionally sounded more like Milo.
@@Vinnay94 ah ok. Besides the name I don’t really know much about them other than Tom saying he was influenced by them.
There's only one Milo.
Comparing Tom Delonge to Joe Strummer is sacrilegious. I really hope you're joking.
RIP JOE
We miss you!
✊❤️❤️✊
The fact that someone thought they had the authority to make this list is so not “punk” lol.
lol because dumb gaming is and styled like how others grew up lol
Awww the good ole days.
Came here expecting L7, wasn't disappointed.
2 clips that had Ian in them.
Iggy was completely insane and so coked out of his mind
Iggy did heroin not coke
Wait til you find out about GG Allin, he is the true king of punk rock and always will be
The funny thing is Real 'Punks' hated the label of being 'Punk' ...think of how A.I.C., Soundgarden, Nirvana et al. Who were not happy being defined as 'Grunge '. They are outsiders, pioneers, artists... Look at what Lydon did with PIL !
Same thing with Goths, Sisters of mercy hated it so much even though they were goth icons. I don't think there were any goth bands who were actually ok with the label!
@@SH-dz1yc same with siouxsie sioux she always says she did glam.
Glenn punching that guy was pretty iconic
L7 and Green Day, but no Black Flag, no Germs, no Misfits? I give you major credit for having FEAR though.
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
'Sick boy'-GBH.
PUNKS NOT DEAD.
Where is GG Alin?
I think he could probably fill up his own dedicated video
I think GG is dead. That's where he is. lol
He was a a Joker!
He's buried in saint rose cemetery in Littleton, New Hampshire.
No G.G Allin? I guess he's too hardcore to be included, eh?
Nah, he looks like a monk comparef to Satan Panonski
CBGB'S
There's a quote that I think is attributed to GQ magazine: "In an ideal world, Green Day would be paying royalties to Stiff Little Fingers until the day they die"
0:45 Did he say "Come on, that's too loud now"?
Now this is good content
That straight edge dude: "why would you not want to be in the moment". He doesn't understand two things, you can do drugs to enhance mood &/or to elevate your thinking & sometimes you need an escape from the moment. I do however, agree with the "why poison yourself" comment, although he's being a little over dramatic about it.
“That straight edge guy” how dare you that’s Ian mackaye
@@twodeadfish4098 I’m on the internet & I still have no idea who that is.
@@bertall1ca he was the singer for minor threat and fugazi
Straight Edge be like: "I don't need booze or drugs to be a terrible #$$hole"
Yes
L7 is the most punk of any of these
What about skrewdriver in 83? Gotta include the clash pretending to be working class when they weren't..
Green Day at Woodstock 1994.
@Iqbal Hidayat insomniac was straight up punk though, and anyway pop punk is a subgenre of punk rock
@Iqbal Hidayat The two albums before Dookie were pretty crap. Dookie was just punk with decent production.
I suspect genuine punks would have pumped themselves with a lethal hot shot on learning they would one day appear in generic 10 minute videos for a 2 minute section, alongside other Punks they despised, where they are represented to new generations by by profit seeking media companies too cheap to licence original extended music, choosing rather narrations of Wikipedia biographies and quotes from open source music press. Publicity and paparazzi photos delivered via tiny mobile phone screens with shit sound quality. Such a future surely demands death.
How old are you? Cos i am 40 and i am guilty in using all this media, thus building this world...
Damn you do raise some valid points however perhaps true punk is being so secure in who you are you don't worry how others chop you up. Plus at least new generations are getting a glimpse of history and might choose to delve futher, whereas they might not have earlier. definitely agree that Capitalism has commodified subcultures and the culture, but I suppose we must learn to continue to survive somehow, giving our situations. Life will always evolve and change, nothing will ever be able to stay wholly stagnant.
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT pop punk is infectious but so questionable
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT I didn't see it I don't think 😭
nice
I just came here for the thumbnail. Asking myself "how can he look that weird?" and then the scene is not even in the video... typical 😪🔫
5:48 Andy Somers . The guy that brought UK punk bands to USA
Why did they distort Sid's face in the thumbnail. I've seen the photo they used for it many times before and he doesn't look like that in the pic normally.
No Misfits?
They spend more time on their makeup and hair than the girls at my school but digging up a grave and getting arrested for it is badass
Ed Savant, I thought of them too, Hybrid Moments is 2 and a half mins of Genius! Static age t.v. Casualty etc. Cool as F**k band. 🎵🎸
Iggy said once it’s Xmas I’m bleeding & sweating I’m in Mexico I’m home!!!
