    I graduated from college in 1972. At the time we were listening a lot to Carly Simon and James Taylor, the nitty-gritty dirt band, Elton John, Emmylou Harris and Carole King. It seemed to me that rock ‘n’ roll had lost its way. It was becoming more and more countrified and less and less of a cutting edge. A few years later, around 1978, the groups that were popular in northern California were the Eagles, Maria, Muldaur, Eddie Money, and Olivia Newton-John

    The Damned were also pumping out records before the Sex Pistols.
    The misfits first played in a club in Lodi, where they were from.

    I just found your channel and really enjoyed your Misfits video, was excited for this video, and did still end up enjoying it. But the second commentator basically admitting they weren’t very familiar with the music, culture, or history right off the rip, and then proceeding to laugh at those 3 things and make fun of it def brought down the enjoyment level for me a bit. Her opinions and feelings are valid, and she has every right to express them, but from a viewer perspective and Punk music lover it def took away from the overall value of the video. If the video intent was clearly to roast it would be different, but it felt like you put a lot of time and effort for the other person to laugh at you and us. Either that, or I’m a cry baby who took it too serious and personal.

      It's an abrdiged version of a podcast where I'm teaching my wife music history. So the premise is for her to not know anything about it. In order to turn it into a viable CZcams video, I have to cut out a lot which hurts the context and removes a lot of what she brings.

      Hi, Staf! I hit my teens in the 80s and grew up with my dad's staggeringly great rock library. Punk was a sizable part of it. I'm not familiar with Death. Which are their best couple of songs to begin with? I'm starting my day with Patti Smith's "Hey Joe," the Pixies' "Motorway to Roswell," the Clash's "Rudie Can't Fail," and Green Day's "Holiday." I'm not looking for angry music today, but rather some upbeat pop punk, if Death provides songs like those. Thanks so much for any recommendations. 🎸

      I think there’s definitely still gatekeeping online. It’s the “your not a real fan unless you like [whatever band]” or “you can’t be punk if you like Madonna” or whatever. People don’t have to care about it, but it’s still there

    As an old man who was around at the time, The Runaways were never considered punk (regardless of how Joan might like to spin things). They were just a standard 70's hard rock band (with a touch of glam), much closer to AC/DC and KISS, nowhere near the Ramones or the Sex Pistols sonically speaking. Great vid though!!!

      @@xp8969 strongly disagree. Screamo was a defamatory blanket term used to describe anything with unclean vocals by know nothings who didn’t know the difference between metalcore, deathcore, post hardcore and to a lesser degree death metal. When people erroneously use the word screamo as a genre classification they’re basically telling you they don’t know anything about metal without telling you they don’t know anything about metal. All that said I’m certainly no gate keeper, call any type of music whatever you wanna call it. It’ll cost me the same amount of sleep which is none. Just know if you’re using the term you’re certainly showing your hand and being judged by some. Some who won’t necessarily even say anything about it. ✌🏼

      It started in the early 90's, some of the east coast hardcore bands were tired of the violence and macho bullshit in the scene, lots of them in interviews (a friend used to have a hardcore zine at the time) said how they wanted to grow as a band, which included more emotional lyrics. They leaned into the new genre name emocore they were given by fellow bands. Though a lot of them were still just referring to themselves as hardcore, in the 2000's bands split off into what we now call emo with its variation in style, and though screamo was used as a derogatory term for those remaining emocore/hardcore bands, they also embraced screamo as their new genre name for a few years ( about 2004 - 2014). The biggest ones I remember at the time were Atreyu and Poison the Well. Somewhere along the line they decided that it was really just another name for metalcore (same breakdowns, same shitty stolen Iron Maiden/Black Sabbath riffs, same screaming vocals because they can't growl properly like the real metal kids, same lame emo lyrics) and I don't know of anyone using screamo as their subgenre anymore. I used to book and promote shows from 2002-2008 and owned a venue from 2007-2008 in Phoenix AZ, so that's how it rolled out on the west coast. May have been different in other parts of the country.
