| Green Day – Basket Case Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Green Day is pop-punk, Sex Pistols/The Clash/The Damned etc, are punk rock, (early) Bad Religion/Agnostic Front/Adolescents/Black Flag/etc are hardcore punk. It's not just "punk" and "not punk", there are different sub-genres. What makes a song a punk song is its quick pace, progressions, and general theme of rebellion/disillusion/anti-social tendencies/etc. This song is about being young, restless, and stressed out. One thing that makes it so good is that it takes its chord progression from Johann Pachelbel's "Canon". |
