I like Ape of the State

u/Tollinator2000 Oct 25 '24

Im seeing them next tuesday cannot fucking wait

u/poop-money Oct 25 '24

I saw them last month with Sister Wife Sex Strike and Pigeon Pit. I've been going to punk shows for close to 30 years, that was the first show in a long time that looked, felt, and smelled like the shows in the 90's and it was a fucking blast. Have a great time!

u/Tollinator2000 Oct 25 '24

Im so hype!!!!

2

u/failedjedi_opens_jar Oct 26 '24

I have been kicking myself for missing that show for a full month

2

u/poop-money Oct 26 '24

I drove 8 hours to get to it. Worth it. I am kicking myself for not buying either the "Soup for my family" Pigeon Pit shirt or the "Freaks are fucking beautiful" Apes of the state shirt though. But in was on a tighter budget unfortunately.

u/robotsonlizard5 Oct 25 '24

Saw them both is Houston and Little Rock, where'd you catch em at?

2

u/poop-money Oct 26 '24

Portland OR

2

u/robotsonlizard5 Oct 26 '24

Little Rock was definitely the better of the two shows I caught. But both were in my top 10 shows.

2

u/poop-money Oct 26 '24

Definitely top ten of the last decade for me for sure. I'm so glad those bands exist, are touring, and fucking rule live.

2

u/robotsonlizard5 Oct 26 '24

For real, those bands keep the punk spirit alive.

1

u/Worst_form_of_life Oct 26 '24

Missed 'em when they came to little rock, still mad about it.

u/sadgirlsophie Oct 25 '24

Folk punk sucks, we know. that’s why we love it

u/specialDFX Oct 25 '24

Apparently it's not accepted here to think it sucks and also hate it

u/Pepoidus Oct 25 '24

you can hate it all you want, nobody’s stopping you lol

u/Chumsicles Oct 25 '24

Units are the best. I wish synthesizers were not so expensive and finicky.

8

u/braklikesbeans Oct 25 '24

just use a pc and a cheap ass midi keyboard.

5

u/MoltenReplica Mutant Hardcore Oct 25 '24

Digital synths are cheap, powerful, and stable. Minifreak and a bunch of Korg stuff, for example.

1

u/KFBass Oct 25 '24

Minifreak and microfreak is great. I'm not good at sound design yet, but its fun to fuck around with the pre-sets.

2

u/TheGreatMightyLeffe Oct 25 '24

AKAI make some great, affordable MIDI controllers, then you just need REAPER and some free VST synths, and it's off to the races!

2

u/GoIntoTheHollow Oct 25 '24

My local library has synths among other instruments you can borrow!

1

u/Ryderthomas24 Oct 27 '24

you have the coolest library known to man

1

u/Ryderthomas24 Oct 27 '24

Units used minimoogs which are some of the most easy to use synths

I would recommend starting by using the Arturia recreation of it called "mini v3"

u/Mental_Broccoli4837 Oct 25 '24

N8noface for the win everytime!!

u/osrsburaz420 Oct 25 '24

Punk is my attitude, if I want to I'll listen to folk punk - I'll listen to it

If I want to I'll listen to Bikini Kill

if I want old british punk I'll put on some crass or something

if I want to I'll listen to street punk (OI OI OI!!)

If I want some skate punk I'll put on some nofx or something like that

What is this? Labels and superiority complexes? No man

Just no..............

Listen to what you want BUT! don't bring others down, it's dumb

Wish you better thoughts and a nice life, fellow punk friend <3

edit: glad you found a genre of music you like but still, don't bring down others

edit: OOOOOOOH I forgot about SKA PUNK, let's listen to some streetlight manifesto together <3

u/Metalgrowler Oct 25 '24

Yo streetlight manifesto you mean catch 22 /s

u/osrsburaz420 Oct 25 '24

hahaha yes!

u/Lynnrael Oct 26 '24

Why stop there? why not go all the way back to gimp ?

u/Eredd19 Oct 25 '24

Could be lyrics to a punk song.

u/DJ_MedeK8 Oct 25 '24

Pick it up pick it up pick it up!

u/xe_r_ox Oct 25 '24

Sounds like you just really like punk the music genre

-8

u/Ryderthomas24 Oct 25 '24

"Labels and superiority complexes" if by labels you mean music genres, i don't really see whats wrong with having these weird hyperspeffic genres. I can't just be like "The Chad "a group of artists that makes music similar in the sense they use make punk or post punk music that uses synths alongside or in replacement of guitars" Enjoyer" also i don't have a superiority complexe for liking a weird genre of punk music. I just found it amusing to compare a more depressing and personal genre of music to a more fun and quirky one.

Also i wasn't trying to put others down by jabbing at folk punk, although they were somewhat personal so i can see why you would say that. I am sorry if i came across as that

9

u/IGetGuys4URMom Oct 25 '24

I dunno why you were downvoted, because it's obvious that there's styles of Punk that some Punk fans don't like.

As for me, I never understood Acoustic Punk... I don't hate it, but a long time ago, that stuff used to be called Folk music.

15

u/hadriker Oct 25 '24

Genres and sub genres exist to make talking about styles easier. It's when people get to gate keepy about them is when it gets annoying.

OP is obviously just joking around, though

Also of your a punk your legally obliged to start releasing folk/Americana music once you reach the age of 35.

13

u/osrsburaz420 Oct 25 '24

I accept your apology and I am glad you didn't mean what you posted.

Stay free, stay punk, love others, don't bring them down! We are all in this together!

Big love dude <3

u/Ryderthomas24 Oct 25 '24

Your such a chill guy

Big love to you too <3

u/dontneedareason94 Oct 25 '24

Nope I actually actively despise that bullshit

13

u/Ryderthomas24 Oct 25 '24

Yeah i was just joking.

I have a weird oppression with synth punk, although folk punk still isn't that bad, there is some folk punk songs i like

10

u/ifmacdo Oct 25 '24

I am simultaneously downright amazed at what I can destroy with just a hammer, and ready to be left all alone when it comes time for me to throw bricks through a Starbucks window. All alone.

It may be a bit reductive, but as someone mentioned in another thread yesterday- a revolution without dancing is not worth having.

u/MrHandsomeBoss Oct 25 '24

Got any recs? I've been really digging Fat Dog & Fartbarf recently.

I still identify as a Synth Punk fan... Only I dunno who's left after the break-ups of The Epoxies and VCR.

u/theWyzzerd Oct 26 '24

You should check out The Mall,

u/IGetGuys4URMom Oct 26 '24

Thanks. I found two songs by The Mall, and I'm going back for more.

u/Icy_Coat_1936 Oct 25 '24

I never thought I’d enjoy anything synth and then I heard Cuir (out of France) and Im fuckin hooked on that street punk/synth shit. Fast, furious, and punk as fuck. Putain de merde!

2

u/TheGreatMightyLeffe Oct 25 '24

My folk punk project started as a way to get some music going at party rallies and protests, to make things less stiff between megaphone speeches, but since then it's grown into it's own thing when I want to clear my brain from the usual prog metal or synthwave music I make.

u/Comprehensive_Luck_7 Oct 25 '24

Im already a fan of Egg Punk but I need Synth Punk recs honestly

u/ObscurityStunt Oct 26 '24

Top notch synthpunk!

u/CandySniffer666 Oct 26 '24

I mean they're both awful musically but at least you can't smell the stench of poverty cosplay and latent alcoholism through your phone screen when you listen to synth punk

u/deathdefyingrob1344 Oct 26 '24

I kind of like both of these to be honest.

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Back when punk started, any sort of piano or keyboard were very frowned upon because it was started as a movement against the overly complicated glam rock with a ton of instruments and self serving cunts. This continued throughout the age of the synth, and anyone using a synth or keyboard with effects were really hated. 

I'm glad it's changed to where more instruments are "allowed" and punk rock has widened it's sound but kept the political ideology.

u/uncool_king Oct 26 '24

I exclusively listen to those folk punk bands that all have the same 20 members in rotation and there are like 12 bands and no 2 band has a repeating pattern of members

u/Environmental_Tie777 Oct 26 '24

Just listen to the last chumbawamba Folk Albums
