Mark Hoppus is Punk, maybe not hardcore punk, but he still has punk roots.

With your logic, the offspring aren't punk neither are the people you're listing. If you want true punk check out the ramones or people from the sex pistols if you are going to be that stingy, they are true punk with the logic you are giving me.

I know Offspring isn't punk, and Rancid stopped playing punk some years ago.
The difference between Offspring/Rancid and Blink is that Offspring/Rancid were once punk, but left punk for something else. Blink just never has been punk at all.

I could go on and on, but I would have a very long post. There are the few songs I will post. I bet you never heard of them.

I won't even bother to argue about this. The bandmembers themselves know they aren'y punk.
I hope that you someday will discover real punk, and then you will laugh at how ignorant you were a couple years ago to think that Blink actually was punk.

I love how you are not even listening to the songs. You don't know shit about punk rock. You don't even bother to realize that genre's adapt with the time change. Also just to add they did call themselves punks. The Descendants and screeching weasels inspired them to do songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whWtCmg9sHU

Yeah, well I hope you learn to research your shit before you open your mouth and speak stupidity. Just so you know music changes over time. Nirvana laid out grunge music and now we have new bands being called grunge bands. Why do you think there are many levels of metal? It adapts with change...

Also, if Blink isn't punk than why the hell are they in a movie called 1994 ABOUT PUNK MUSIC

However, I think you're too slow to watch the whole thing. So here is a 90 sec trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hac_V02nXdg
You piss me off with your ignorance and pomp ass attitude

I agree, music is subjective. However, when someone goes and calls a punk band not punk rock. EVEN WHEN the band themselves called them a punk band is beyond ridiculous. People just don't understand that music changes as time goes on. If music stayed the same I don't think everyone would be into it. Genres have to change as time goes on.

The fact is that it doesn't matter. The fact that this thread demands "good punk bassists" as its purpose is just stupid. What's the matter, can't let something that's not punk pass through your nonconformist ears? Bullshit. The best bassists don't play anything close to punk rock, and to limit yourself to a genre that's constantly in dispute will leave you robbed of the best music styles out there.

Just sayin'.

PS: I picked different links for all different genres. So I recommend checking each, because they're all completely COMPLETELY different.
