ouch, from the anarcho perspective, we always thought of street punk bands as being a little soft, don't get me wrong, I like some street punk bands but
for me.. its not just the lyrics, because most punk bands have good lyrics, its the sound. the edge, speed and distortion of chaos/crust/anarcho is my favorite, and its unique to that 'genre'
hardcore bands, metal bands, 'alternative bands' hint at the speed and edge of this music, but nothing captures it like a good gutter punk band like Self Destruct or Aus Rotten..
my favorite is subhumans, which is a bit less edge in the sound and speed, but much more intense in the lyrical content. Dick Lucas is one of the best punk lyricists ever, his music is not just 'hey i'm pissed off look at me' but actually intellegent and intelligible, a rare treat for the kind of music that usually requires to to check the liner notes to catch the words. (as subhumans said, you can't hear the words cuz the musics to loud..)
