Alternative Bands

Remember those loud punk bands of the early 2000's, the ones with the rebellious teenage lyrics with a catchy tune that any kid could related too? They've had their 15 minutes of fame, but like all good things they had to come to an end unfortunately... Some have still managed to stay around but aren't in the spotlight as they once were. Below is a list of some of the bands I'm talking about. 

00's Alternative Bands
  • blink-182                                         
  • Third-Eye Blind
  • Sum 41
  • The Offspring 
  • Good Charlotte
  • Simple Plan

A Lost Generation of Rock

Punk hasn't gotten the credit it's deserved in quite some time! These bands were revolutionary at the turn of century for rock music it was something most people weren't use to listening to. Punk bands haven't been that successful in reaching The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, all bands I listed above have not accomplished that goal until now! 





Times Are Changing
 
Green Day (picture on the above) has recently been inducted into the 2015 Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. This shows as time goes by more people are beginning to appreciate the bands that separated themselves apart from all the other groups. These unique bands have made an impact on rock music and deserve to be recognized in the Hall of Fame. Being apart of this generation that grew up listening to groups like these guys, I have have hopes in seeing more punk bands be honored and go down in history with all the other greats that have came before them!

  1. These are all amazing bands, Good Charlotte being one of my favorites out of these. They actually have influenced me to name my first daughter, Charlotte! But I also love Blink-182 and know lots of people who enjoy them as well!

  2. This brings some nostalgia since I listened to some of these bands when I was younger. I still find myself jamming out to their songs every now and then though!
