New Found Glory is still Punk.

So I dug up my old New Found Glory CDs, and got some new ones (new to me, at least). I decided to look up some videos on YouTube, because I hadn't seen any since their Sticks & Stones album was released. On several comments, I noticed that some people were bitching about how NFG "isn't punk anymore."


Really? What would you call them, then? Rock? Not really. Their latest album was certainly inspired by a more classic rock feel, but none of their other albums can say the same. You certainly couldn't call them Metal or Industrial, either. Alternative could be the closest thing they come to, but even that's a reach.


The truth is, NFG remains unique among other established genres. That is exactly what Punk Rock is. Whether or not it's Pop is irrelevant. The only irony is that Punk originally set out to deviate against the mainstream, but found its way into the mainstream itself.

P.S. Going to try and get out of the habit of posting every single day, because fairly soon I won't be able to anyway.
