"Punk is the Nostalgia of Punk"

Totally forgot to post on time. . . fell asleep: figured i would anyways seeing as i enjoyed today's, well yesterdays guest lecture on Punk rock. Growing up with Punk bands like Blink 182 and Greenday led me to perceive Punk for what it was in the 21st century rather than the 1970's when it originated. Contrary to the 21st century; bands like The Sex Pistols and the Ramones paved the path for this new unique style of music. Punk venues like CBGB began to spring up in major metropolitan cities alike New York; and before we knew it, Punk had gone from merely a genre of music to its own rebellious subculture. Although I may not appreciate Punk rock for all that it was when it originated, it opened the door for similar genre's of music like ska and reggae to emerge down the road. With 40 years of growth, Punk rock and its subculture has remained prominent and evolved into a much larger scene with more musical variety. Bands like IllScarlett emerged with a unique new sound that could only be categorized as this "ska punk pop infused reggae ". Originating out of Mississauga in 2004 IllScarlett captures its audiences with their up beat. . . easy to listen to. . . chill as hell. . . punk reggae sound. Modeling themselves after sublime and other punk sounds IllScalett has nearly formed a genre of their own, and for that i thank you Punk rock. . . P.S. maybe my teacher will enjoy my post and consider giving me some credit. Because God knows I've missed way to many of these things.
