punk is anti-rock. or it was originally, anyway. it is a form of rock music, but it was a rejection of all of the pomp, glitz, smoke & mirrors, virtuoso musicianship and endless solos that characterized popular rock bands of the 1970s. punk rockers wanted to strip rock n roll down to the basics-- a few simple chords, a fast beat, no solos, an angry guy yelling into the microphone about politics/society/whatever working class british kids were pissed off about back in the 70s, and songs that were finished in less than three minutes.

the 70s style of punk rock was pretty much a one-trick pony that could only be taken so far, so after a few years it changed into other things like new wave, goth and hardcore. and then in the 90s, green day popularized "pop punk" (less angry, less political, more formulaic musically), which is now enormously profitable for major labels.

on the other side, hardcore has turned into something much more abstract that is hardly recognizable as punk at all-- sometimes it sounds more like a bastardized form of death/black-metal, but a lot less oriented toward song-structure and without all the solos (of course). and the songs tend to be short-- sometimes as short as 30 seconds, and rarely exceeding 2 minutes.

so yeah... the original "punk rock" is long gone, and its current offshoots don&#39;t really bear much resemblance to it at all, aside from the fashion.

Good way to explain it. I just wish Celerystalksme will stop touching my elbow. >_<
