I wasn't giving Fugazi shit. There one of my all time favorite bands. I just don't include them in the punk category.

Why can't I use terminology coined in the states? :confused: So because I'm from New Zealand and don't come from the states I can't comment on the genre? Emo is a stupid term anyway and gets used WAY to loosely/often these days.

Can idealistic music not be inspiring? I myself find it innspiring and informative. Depends on what the individual is into I guess.
I wouldn't say Crass preached... but I can see how you'd see it that way they are pretty blunt and to the point in their songs.

..... I can't be fucked getting into a Anarchy debate. But yeh certain principles make sense and could work. But on a whole its not really feasible.

The Clash were more of a rock band anyway and would appeal to a wider audience. I don't class them as a punk band (something I'm sure you'll violentley disagree with me on).

... I know your talkin to someone else on this subject, but how can you classify sum41 as pop....I mean, shit I've seen 'em twice live and have some of their albums.....and beleive me, their not pop.....maybe all you ever heard from them is the shit they play on mtv or the radio...if that's the case, check out some of their other songs.......they really do ......Rock...:cool:
