2) Fart joke Punk
-I hate to say it, but this kind of started with the Ramones, and bands like Blink 182 and Dayglo Abortions have carried on this tradition of silliness. These bands are heavy on the fart/masterbation jokes and general rude silliness. U2 loves the Ramones, but sounds nothing like them. Green day was this kind of band in the beginning, but have evolved into the #3.....
How can you put the Ramones and Blink 182 in the same category??? Blink 182, for the most part is just juvenile whiny crap. The Ramones were masters at short 3 chord numbers you could rock to. I'm no great fan of the Ramones but off hand, I can't think of a single song of theirs that talks about farts or masturbation!
