If the original movement in the 70s was in response to political stagnation in the UK and the Vietnam war in the US. And the revival in the 00s in response to the US wars in the Middle East. Between Black Lives Matters, No Kings protests, and far right political parties recent win across the globe, where is the Punk movement? Where is the disenfranchised youth grinding out their anger on an electric guitar in an abandoned industrial building?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who suggested various artists. I’m going to check them all out!

We would need people who are willing to stand up in order to have punk. Everyone is on the ground staring at a screen. Punk is dead.

Floorpunk?

I closest thing I ever see is folky acoustic songs or parodies with clear, understandable lyrics so you don't miss the witty anti-MAGA lyrics they wrote.

They're looking at their smartphones.

Also, viagra boys.

It's out there, it's just harder to find when everything has to be fed through an advertisement friendly algorithm.

I mean, Amyl and the Sniffers, PinkShift, Skating Polly (more grungy than punk maybe) BitchKiss, Stray from the path, Blood Lemon, Sorry Mom, etc.

a lot of new punk music is more pointed to RiotGrrl punk these days, but there is a shitload of new, really fucking good punk bands out there. We just lack a main stream outlet/major tour that showcases it anymore.

The majority of kids under 30 are still focused on making enough money to have nice things. They were raised by parents (my generation) to think stuff is the answer to all life's problems. That is the majority of how people think in this day and age. The biggest issue amongst a lot of individuals is not having access to enough stuff (including traveling) to fill the gaping hole inside. Unfortunately, that hole is actually caused by a breakdown in community, family and communication. The kids aren't angry anymore, they are depressed.

Great list. Check out the rat utopia experiment if you haven't already.

Sum41 had shit to complain about for 30 years

Lol so true. That was corporate punk for real. Glad that shit is dead. Let it stay dead

"History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes."

The fundamental aspects repeat, but the specifics are always different. This time it's not an electric guitar in an abandoned building thing, it's a bedroom rapper going underground viral thing. You're not seeing it because you don't care about that style of music, just like the adults of the 70s and 80s didn't care about punk music

That should breathe some life into your algorithm

They’re not terribly political - except for The Price of Smokes has Gone Up Again - but The Chats are the best punk band I’ve heard lately.

On the other hand, Joey Valence and Brae did a pretty good cover of "Security" by Amyl and the Sniffers.

The Chats are a solid punk band for sure.

There is a phenomenal Punk scene still but not always the stereotypical sound. Most have extra notations like Hardcore, folk, post, or some new vibe no genre can define yet etc. Doom Scroll, Chat Pile, Viagra boys, Codefendents, Aquabats, Drain, Scowl, MSPAINT and Soul glo are some vastly different sounds across the spectrum of punk to check out.

You mean like MUDRAT, Bob Vylan, shame, or Kid Kapichi? Then there's the post punk/punk adjacent stuff like Kneecap, Hyphen, Viagra Boys, Warmduscher, Yard Act, Gila Band, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs etc.
You're not going to find them listening to corporate radio or following the algorithm, but there's plenty out there.

Might be a bit of a hot take: the spirit is alive but the common form drifted away from this old-school ideal.

Punk as a genre has stopped being a self-contained monolith, and started blending into other styles. There’s still a pool of traditionalists, but they’re a relative minority.

In the 90s, it bleed into hard rock (Nirvana). In the aughts, the main fork was emo-punk (a la Conor Oberst). The 2010s had a big post-punk wave (Parquet Courts, Viagra Boys). Meanwhile, on a longer timeline, industrial EDM/noise music has been the modern incarnation of the spirit of the hardcore subgenre (Death Grips), and folk-punk has been a consistent niche of its own.

And even on top of these more specific splinters, the standard indie rock genre has grown to encompass more “soft-punk” elements in recent decades (Modest Mouse, Wolf Parade).

People are tired boss

Not really punk but spot-on political: Jesse Welles. The guy is probably the best song writer of a generation.

It's still around, there might even be an active scene near you that you could join in with if you're inclined. Last few shows I've seen in the northeast U.S. were for Doom Scroll, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards, Playboy Manbaby, Sister Wife Sex Strike, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, and probably some others I'm not thinking of right this second. They all have songs about the current state of things and how expensive shit is.

Lots of bands in the UK too, offhand Lambrini Girls and Bob Vylan are pretty great. Hell if you want an example of the current state of things Bob Vylan actually had their travel Visas revoked in the U.S. so they can no longer play shows in the U.S.

dead pioneers, deaf club, petrol girls, Meryl streek, melted bodies

Will do!

That's a few decades put together into one list

Maybe parts of the problem is that I don’t use an algorithm. The reach of my discovery is limited by what real humans suggest to me.

They’re all currently making music and playing shows.

I was expecting that the Brexit consequences would bring about a music revolution like the punk in the 70s. Maybe not rock, but hip-hop or something.

I guess it's just not coming. Kids are too busy scrolling and fighting strangers online.

Tropical Fuck Storm

The Bobby Lee's

Huge, intense punk scene in Montreal with lots of people from many walks of life screaming about exactly what's going on right now.

We have multiple industrial buildings and hidden spots in the woods where shows happen.

Honestly a great scene.

Honningbarna if you're fine with Norwegian

Lots of disenfranchised youths rapping nowadays. I suppose the barriers to entry are lower so there's a lot of trash but a hardened listener will eventually find some gold.

I'd say UK drill is pretty punk

Tried some youtube but can't get into it. But that's okay, where i live society is very different from UK. Trve punk thinks globally and acts locally.

feel free to post links tho

1 album from each, 12 hours and 20 minutes. ✊

Hell yeah :)

Enjoy!!

One major punk artist very relevant nowadays that I haven't seen anyone mention is Jeff Rosenstock. He was very influenced by Ian MacKaye and he's famous for making the first successful donations based record label.

He first blew up with a ska band called "The Arrogant Sons of Bitches" then moved onto his punk band "Bomb the Music Industry" until moving on to a solo career. His solo stuff have been some of his best albums, and the old ones are still good.

Im not hugely into punk. Id say my opinion is that the only 2 punk bands that have ever existed are the Ramones and the Clash and everyone else is some other genre. I understand this is not true but its how I feel.

The Chats, might not the Clash, but I do feel they are competent, creative, and stylistically punk and I do quite enjoy them on occasion.

Specifically, Temperature by the Chats, is largely a large banger.

They're using smartphones to hold their charts and tablature nowadays it's crazy

I loved Propagandhi in the 90s and went to see them live 20 years ago. Back to the motor league with me!

Hell yeah! I knew you would have a kick ass list of great bands ☺️

Off topic: I just used the Venom INLP polish and I love it!

Laughing Death in Meatspace still one of the best albums of the last decade.

TRUE fucking slaps so unbelievably hard

Even jazz is punk now

Maybe it's happening in a genre we don't follow? Who can be sure in this timeline?

Great list recognize most of them. Excited to check out the rest. How you gonna leave out Ecca Vandal tho?!

Ecca Vandal

My "discovery of the year" last year. Great album.

The Iron Roses. Can't stop listening to the Molotov Nights album.

IDLES say they're not punk, which somehow makes them even more punk.
