The Dead Kennedys initiated one of the most divine segments of my life

I was 16 and the Dead Kennedys were my favorite band. I don't much agree with their politics anymore but when I first discovered them it was like how a born-again Christian must feel. The music was the anti-thesis of the garbage that was on MTV. This was a band that was angry yet political, rebellious, witty, and viciously intelligent. Their lyrics were my bible and their music constantly played on my stereo.

First band I ever saw live was Dead Kennedys. I was 13 years old. It was 1981. They remain, to this day, my favorite punk band.
Also, I posted a while back in MAL about how a Dead Kennedys song changed my life. The post (with the song uploaded) is here.

It was so cool how they could criticize the punk scene so maliciously. That kind of self-criticism hit the mark and I still see it to this day. A lot of punk kids are more concerned with how many studs they have in their jackets and how much they can pose. Their supposed beliefs usually fall by the wayside and they become as conformist as the people they constantly bitch about. I call it "conforming to rebellion".
Good song by the way.

the first punk album I listened to was "Out come the Wolves" by NOFX. that album is still great, IMO.
I never got into DK, granted I never listened to much of them, but I never really liked the whole spastic, chaotic, noise/bad vocals. Cheetah, from the band the dead boys sometimes comes in and has a beer with my buddy, and I just sit back and listen to the stories of the NYC punk scene developing at CBGB's and such... even though I find their music unbearable.

I never much got into the pop-punk of the 90's. "Punk in Drublic" and "Ribbed" have their moments however. The only pop-punk band I could listen to with any regularity was Propagandhi.
I'm more of an 80's Hardcore guy. I'm really into the Dwarves right now.

Oh man, can the Dwarves rock!
The Misfits and the Dead Kennedys were my life-transforming bands. I never followed DK too much, hell I only own one cd, but seriously they were the band that made me realize I need to give a fuck about the world.
One night during a full-out punken drinking session in an abandoned house, my friend's cousin and I tried to get it on, but well we were both a bit sloppy and plastered, so my other friend wrote with a sharpie on this bedroom door "Too drunk to fuck!" So true.... and I'm glad it turned out that way 
Anti-flag was also a pretty formative band that I got into for a bit. Shucks, now they blow.
Hardcore is the best punk out there.

I used to be WAY into Minor Threat and Mission of Burma. I credit the early harcore scene with my turn to psychedelics. For better or worse, that fucking music changed my life.

I saw them play a show in February and they kicked ass. You and Link should come to the Burgh and we'll hit some badass shows where we can slam-dance and hit people.

They're from Pittsburgh and I saw them a bunch of times. Some of my friends were in bands that played shows with them. Now they tour the country and they are rarely back here.

It's where my heart sits. I've got more 80's and early 90's OG hardcore punk than i know what to do with.

Fugazi isn't bad. I have a couple of their albums. I much prefer Minor Threat though.

Agreed for the most part. Minor Threat is just so much more primal and unrelenting.
The Argument and Steady Diet are two of my alltime favorite albums, though...
