The Riff Raff News Is Just an Excuse to Write About Waterparks

GUYS WE'RE FAMOUS. Also, I'm offended they called it beard punk. It's a natural facial shield, the term "beard" is offensive.

 

This is prettyyy funny

 

TIL what beard punk is

 

Hahaha. I actually don't hate the song. I always just assumed beard punk was specifically Four Year Strong. Didn't know it was a whole subgenre!

 

lmao @ both stories

 

While I'm not sure what Beard Punk is, I'm here for it, give me all of your RIYL's.

 

Red City Radio, O Pioneers, The Holy Mess, The Riot Before, Off With Their Heads

 

People who don't like us don't like good music.

Idk what beard punk is, but I want in.

 

I didn't know anyone was.

 

aka org-core?

 

Pretty much, which is why it's odd to call out AP. As I said in another thread, there were like 10 regs in the punk thread and about 5 who cared about those bands

 

The riot before is so dope

 

You should make their wish come true and give them an exclusive on AbsolutePunk....


That nobody will ever see

 

Song came out last November, like 7 months after Chorus launched. lol awkward.

 

riff raff is such a delight

 

I've had Four Year Strong labelled as beardcore in iTunes for years, so this is pretty funny.

 

is twy beardcore yet

 

Who?

 

I find this band mildly entertaining simply for bringing back neon pop punk. Beyond that... meh, not the worst but not great either.

 

I think I've said this on here before, but I worked a show for this band once and they were making overtly sexual jokes/comments at an audience of almost entirely 14-15 year olds, not to mention the fact that their music itself was mostly just a backing track. Trash band, gross people

 

Out of interest, do we consider making sex jokes to make them "gross people"?

I've never seen them and don't like them, although my girlfriend is some sort of mega fan who meets them after their gigs all the time (to the point they remember her and her best friend), and that doesn't seem worse than Blink or All Time Low really?

 

I had pointed this out to Jason, what a fail on their part

 

It wasn't even all necessarily jokey, it was just like sexual comments that rubbed me entirely the wrong way. I'm not really into pop punk and don't ever attend shows where the crowd is that young and I was just shocked that they were totally comfortable bragging about their dicks in front of a bunch of children

 

OhTheWater has the best and most accurate summation of this whole situation. AP definitely gave a moderate amount of love to the Hot Water Music family tree of modern punk, but it was never exactly the zine known on the web for "sucking [them] off" per se.
