british punk was for pussies only
80s American hardcore was punk at its peak
I can't really think any british punk band that are better than those bands.
Damned is the only british punk band that is worth listening

>implying any of those bands are good
britain started punk americans r just copy cats
If you can't think of a band better than the Germs and Suicide, than you really are a fucking ignorant muppet.
All the best CBGB bands were post-punk anyway so I'm not even sure they count.
>Damned
>Wire
Those are the only good bands there.
Also, Pop Group was post-punk.
Wonderful hot take you got there my man. Surprised you didn't burn your tongue as you spat it out your mouth
Why don't you go back to swallowing cum so as to cool it down. I'm sure your mouth will be very grateful
Again something that's not true. The Stooges weren't British.

>Patti Smith
>Television
>Richard Hell

Grime is unironically British punk.
Sorry I don't like your precious British punk bands. Chill out fuckhead.
What? Have you ever listened to Gun Club?
>Not liking the Undertones
John Peel died for your sins my man.
Have you? Jeffrey Lee Pierce kicked the drummer out because he couldn't handle the fact that the dude actually lived hard while Jeffrey was pretending to.

etc.
Come on
>any of those bands
>good
christ get some taste
Wrong
Explain me how that was the actual reason why he kicked the drummer.
Also, Jeffrey died from a stroke while was HIV positive, while also suffering from cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis. That guy alone is more punk than any british punk band.
>Television
>Not post-punk
>Richard hell
>The Misfits
>The Ramones
>Ayy lmao
I'll accept Patti Smith.
Black Flag, Minutemen, Descendents, Circle Jerks, and Dead Kennedys I can respect. The rest are solid if unremarkable. Also far too many disparate movements in there for it to cohere as a single "movement"
Also, distinct lack of women in those groups. British first wave punk was more egalitarian.
If you don't like Television you have objectively bad taste, bud
Idunno if British punk is better. It's certainly very close despite the United States being the originators of the genre and having such a sheer numbers advantage.
I will say that the reason British punk is *so good* is that Great Britain suffered heavy bombings and casualties from the Nazis during World War II, and, especially for the kids born in that generation, the road to recovery was kinda bleak and difficult. It gave British baby boomers an extra dose of cynicism and world-weariness that the Americans didn't have.
Look man I hate British punk but Jeffrey Lee Pierce was nothing more than pussy. He did all that shit because he wanted that image but that's not who he actually was. Watch this documentary youtube.com

Fuck off faggot. Nobody likes Television outside of the internet. They ain't worth shit.

post-punk started mostly simultaneously with punk
post punk was a response to punk so no it didn't
Ok I'll watch it. Thanks for the rec
Women can't into punk dude. That's why every riot grrl band fucking sucks
The only genrer british people did better than americans is prog rock
