Faux Punk

This Pick is about Fake Punk or Faux Punk. Both bands and songs. So we have fake punk band and fake punk songs. To me if you have the word Punk in your title, it's probably not a punk song. It's Faux Punk. There's quite a few songs, that were good songs, that just weren't punk that follow that rule. Just listen to Van Halen. By no stretch of the imagination are they punk. But Iggy Pop was a punk, but the song he did with Teddybears. I'm sorry not punk. The Meatmen have a great track on here and it's almost punk, they're pretty punk, but almost is not good enough. Side note: I had some faux punk pants (ripped jeans) that were signed by the Clitboys. And if you know the Meatmen song, you'll get it. The Dead Milkmen were sometimes punk, Bitchin' Camaro probably counts, but this track is so not punk. Find the fake punk bands. There are a few. They aren't even real bands. See Fake Bands for more of that kind of stuff. Anyway, enjoy the fakeness.
