http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/ i have been trying to get this out for about 5 months now and i had to do something MTV has taken top forty boy bands with guitars and made them icons and they don't deserve it at all(Ex. simple plan,story of the year,good charlotte,the killers,the used-who used to be all right i guess,yellow card,avril livigne,ashlee simpson dashboard confessional and of course switchfoot. i'm sad to say that almost everyone is either a "prep" or is in to the fake music or classic rock. there are a few kids at my school that listen to real music. i'm not saying that all these kids should get slaughtred in the streets but they need to be stopped. I'm hoping this starts a revolution.

I mean, if the 'posers' are interested in 'fake' punk, that can be interpreted as being very relieving, as they aren't going to become involved with the 'real' punks and plague that scene. Just accept that there are traditional punks and mainstream punks, and that each are within completely different categories. The mainstream punks won't understand the concept of 'real' punk or gain access to the music if you morons would STOP preaching what punk is. Let them have their 'poser' music, and 'real' punks can have their elitist 'underground' subculture. Like the petition creator mentioned, it's just a phase. Therefore it's harmless. Once they decide to latch on to another subculture, you guys will obviously remain, assuming you all don't grow out of it as well before this occurs... Punks do not need to resort to annihilating their own subculture. And besides, it's adolescent-oriented anyway. Why concern yourselves with preserving it? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig2909205 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Everybody needs to quit calling eachother posers... you guys aren't posers your all queers;) http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig2288035 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST It's sickening. For centuries people have taken good things and picked at them so fucing much that they turn into this pathetic fake version of the original.. and I think it all revolves around money. Mtv lovers obviously love the music because they believe that's what's IN and what's cool so automatically they have to obsess over it. Once you open your eyes up to different cultures and types of music it's hard to get back into that shallow box. Blah. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig2197633 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST oi oi oi oi http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig2045016 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Amen. I mean I don't care for thier music, but the fake punk thing ticks me off. I'd say avril is responible for about half of the punk posers. Green Day, though I like their music, has brough punk into the pop scene and made it a new fad for the preps to fallow, and it ticks me off. I Hate preps like Hilary Duff but I would kiss her feet if she got these posers back to prep ways and out of my face. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1928458 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Here's something to think about...how many posers do you think have already signed tis petition? Just remember who you are, and pose as your-self...we are all posers in the sense that we must pose to the world...If you are now confused, then pass the blunt. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1883731 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Did I just see somebody supporting Green Day and scolding classic rock fans? *blinks* http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1867795 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST liKe omG hoWw daRe U taLk lYk daTt b0ut GrEen DaYy a'nD gOodchArloTe theRe lYk,, mY faV baNds m0theRf*cKkeRsZ!!!!1 U sh0ulD alL lYk,, bUrn in HeLl oR soMethAngG!!!!!! oMg!! ur jUst aGaiNsT uS coz wEre diFferEnT!!!!!!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1781513 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST ok, let's fet one thing straight people. Story of the Year no longer fall under the catergory of mainstream **** rock. Their new album is a harcore/metal album that really represents who they are. If you ever saw them live you would know that that just isn't who they really are. John Feldman produced that album, so blame him. Go out and buy "In the Wake of Determination" now. I know what I'm talking about. By the way, Green Day was never really a punk band. They were originally a post-grunge band, but slowly transitioned into the pop **** they are now. Real punk would be Minor Threat, Black Flag, the Subhumans, etc. Story of the Year isn't a mainstream **** band anymore!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1443542 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST again with the lame punk stuff. right, it doesnt matter what 'genre' soem band fall under, theyre still who they are. ie. Neils Children and The Paddingtons and BabyShambles, are they punk? who cares, theyre ****in great though. McFly, Razorlight, Beethoven, are they punk? who craes, theyre still crap http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1185454 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST You're a ****ing idiot if you think Green Day is punk. Real punk: Minor Threat, Flux of Pink Indians, Antischism etc. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1161306 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST i agree completely anything sold at hot topic is mainstream so get over it. all you posers know your from middle class families. how old are you guys? are you tweens? are you trying to be yourself?oooOOOOoooo REBELS wow "DAMN YOU MOM! AND YOUR NINE THIRTY CURFEW!!!" watever-listen to crap like greenday is you feel like it but call yourself a "ponk" (WORD FUSION POWER...poser+punk= ponk) http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1070283 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Green Day. Mainsteam. Crap. 'Nuff said. Yes, I, too, hate this "im emo/punk/goth!Qw3" fad. Mhm, and I'm guessing it's now "cool" to call yourself a "punk" yet insist that you are being "yourself". Ferkin liars. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1068377 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST what the fuk #4?!?! how the hell is green day not real punk, then wat the **** are they huh?? god damn u ****ing preppies ya'll should go die http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fakepunkphase/#sig1067432 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST U SUCK COLIN!
