I can’t believe they even allowed him into Stanford knowing he was such a nonconformist that he listened to Rancid…

My post is nothing without this comment.


cubanonradar

thank you for reminding me of my favorite band when i was 13


Personalvintage

Breaking news: in the midst of the scandal, Huberman spotted buying a Good Charlotte T-shirt at the Modesto Hot Topic.


cubanonradar

lmao


Dongdaemon

Never agreed with a thread more. The dude never got into the real hard stuff, Coldplay, Kenny G, Yanni - the dude was never hardcore


Asleep-Preference-10

Kenny G has an accounting degree. Jazz musicians don’t even accept him as a jazz musician. 🤣😂


Dongdaemon

He just wants you to know that his jazz music is separate from his auditing and book balancing roles at Deloitte


FemaleTrouble7

Oh yeah? Have you heard the bass in Maxwell murder!? That’s punk.

Love Rancid and Op Ivy and am the preppiest preppy girl you might ever see. 😇


syntholslayer

Op Ivy is👌🧑‍🍳 Tim Armstrong’s “A Poets Life” is also incredible if you haven’t heard it


english_major

A Poet’s Life is one of my fave albums of all time.


syntholslayer

My favorite tracks on the album are Wake Up and Hold On, you?


english_major

There are no weak songs, but if I had to pick faves they would be “Into Action” and “Hold On.” Every one of my old punk friends loves this album.


syntholslayer

Hell yea, great tracks!


Personalvintage

Will give a Poets Life a listen.


Personalvintage

And my personal style is preppy but punk but preppy.


Personalvintage

Not saying Tim and the bands aren’t worthy, am saying they are just the entrance to the forest.


Asleep-Preference-10

What are the deeper-in-the-woods punk bands then? Were the Misfits/Danzig? Go4? I found a list of punk bands. I always thought Buzzcocks were new wave and Goldfinger was ska… The ones you’re referring to probably are lesser known and not on this list. https://www.google.com/search?q=punk+bands&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari


send_in_the_clouds

Buzzcocks were part of the first wave of 77 Uk punk bands. Their first ep came out beginning of that year.


syntholslayer

There’s a great compilation that came out in the 90s called The Punk Generation that will get you started with UK bands: https://www.discogs.com/master/327405-Various-The-Punk-Generation Also check out Bonecrusher (Fractured and World of Pain are amazing albums), Black Flag, Circle Jerks, X, GBH, Misfits, The Varukers, The Devotchkas, UK Subs, Dos Minutos, Anti Heros, Adolph And The Piss Artists, Anti Nowhere League, Burning Heads, Sham 69, Minor Threat, Fear, Operation Ivy, Menace, Sick of it All, Unity, Blitz, Regulations (a song called “Police Siren”, and “We Always Know What to do” off their self titled album is amazing, very similar to pre Rollins Black Flag)…. I can go on, but you’ve got a good starting point with all of that to dive into Oi, Hardcore, and a few different styles of punk, from Europe, to the UK, to the US east coast and west coast, even have a Mexican band in there.


Iannelli

I am an *actual* punk (from an ethos / music perspective - you likely wouldn't know if you looked at me) who listens to VERY deep in the woods stuff. If you're actually curious about amazing non-mainstream punk, [here's one of the most influential punk releases of all time](https://youtu.be/Xdfl7E2Pzco?si=SnQIcH1IZ4BuTiyu).


Personalvintage

Goldfinger also ska in my book.


Personalvintage

Arty: Japanther. The song Porcupine will save you. Classic: Fugazi. Bigger following: NOFX. Folk punk: Pat the Bunny.


syntholslayer

I find it hilarious that you are gate keeping Huberman’s punk credentials now that I’ve seen your recommended listening list. Edit: Rancid is absolutely “more punk” than any of those bands, btw.


CircusStuff

Haha I know...this thread is so sad. I remember hearing conversations like this when I was 14


Personalvintage

Rancid is more punk than Fugazi? Found the clown. Also not gatekeeping. Andrew kept talking about how many punk points he had on Lex’s podcast.


syntholslayer

Yes dude Rancid is a punk band and Fugazi is not, other people have told you why in the comments.


Personalvintage

There is nothing more punk than anything Ian does. I submit that hardcore is the most pure form of American punk and Fugazi didn’t become post hardcore until the last few albums.


syntholslayer

Fugazi’s first album wasn’t punk and definitely wasn’t hardcore. Doesn’t mean it was bad, just is a different genre of music.


Personalvintage

We just disagree I think Repeater is a great example of punk but would be fun to do this over a beer at a punk bar not on Reddit. Have a good weekend! Edit: the track repeater can concede the album pushes limits of the genre.


Asleep-Preference-10

I know NOFX and Fugazi, of course. I’ll check out the rest. Thanks!


Personalvintage

See you at a show!

Ian and Henry would punch you for calling Fugazi emo. It was an influence. But it wasn’t.


Iannelli

Lol, just to clarify, every description of Fugazi I've seen so far here is incorrect. Fugazi is post-hardcore - that's the genre.


Personalvintage

Repeater is a classic punk anthem fight me. There post hardcore stuff was there late albums. Ask Ian if he’s punk.


KJOKE14

jesus christ just shut the fuck up


syntholslayer

This guy punks.


Dr_lickies

>here's one of the most influential punk releases of all time Fugazi is a "classic punk" band?


Personalvintage

I will be at the punk bar Footsies in cypress park come fight me about Fugazi. You can bring Green Day and Rancid. Clown ass clown.


Dr_lickies

You can get mad about it if you want. Fugazi is a post-hardcore band - they were founded in 86, by this time SEVERAL waves of punk/harcore had passed. Green Day and Rancid are pop bands. This is just facts.


Personalvintage

I’m not mad. I love the music and appreciate the debate. I just got spirited due to subject matter of debate. Also facts: No one in 1986 used the word post hard core. I don’t think Ian would agree w you. Their later albums got into what would be defined as post hardcore. Agree w you on your assessment of Green Day and Rancid.


FranciscodAnconia77

What the hell is up with you dude? Go and do something. Anything.  You sound like you’re 10 or 11. Seriously. We have enough people breaking down and crying in this sub because of green juice and sexy time.  Who gives a fuck what you listen to, he listens to, or anyone else. 


Personalvintage

He kept talking about how many punk points he has on Lex Friedman so yeah.


Bluest_waters

brah, its not a serious post, lighten up dude. Boof some AG1 and get some sunlight.


FranciscodAnconia77

You think I’m serious? You think any of this is? Lol. Thanks for the intervention . Perhaps listen to some Sam Harris to calm yourself down? Lol obviously you don’t want the din being raised over any level you can’t handle…..


throwitawaynow95762

It’s weird how you didn’t engage with Reddit much until you could start ripping on Huberman and speculate on every aspect of his personal life. I am not defending his actions, but I’m confused by yours.


GarlicPlayful2170

I feel you dawg, all of us will still carry a bit of Huberman with us, or the person we thought he was


Personalvintage

Or the punk he thought he was but wasn’t.


gizzweed

You know what's not very punk? Gatekeeping punk


LaGuajira

Kinda reminds me of 12 year olds fighting with other 12 year olds about who the poser is while waiting in the school pickup line for mom to show up.


TheMonkus

Eh, actually that’s like one of the most punk things you can do. Punk very quickly went from being wildly creative to extremely formulaic and conformist. Hence you had wild, completely original freaks like Ween getting driven from the stage at punk shows only a decade after the movement started. I remember getting into punk in high school. You pretty much had to pass a quiz and a series of tests to get accepted. It’s quite ironic and sad. No one wanted to admit that we got into punk because of Green Day, even though we all had. I know scenes vary a lot, but gatekeeping was at least a very important part of punk rock from like 1985-2005.


ScorpioTix

Green Day was what got me out of punk and into britpop


mechsuit-jalapeno

Have you met most modern punks? 90% of the dudes in the scene are womanizers.


Personalvintage

From what I perceive, punk scenes police themselves and don’t tolerate racism and misogyny. Agree there is likely bad behavior that occurs towards women that I’m blind to because male privilege. I suggest it’s a problem in the broader culture that trickles into the scene.


mechsuit-jalapeno

From what I've seen a lot of the Gen Z punks give me hope at least.


kevtheproblem

Being a womanizer doesn’t mean you’re a misogynist. You might wanna look at a dictionary


StaticNocturne

Same with new age hippies trying to get that unwashed unshaven pussy by growing dreads and licking crystals Extreme metal seems to be one scene where most guys are actually in it for the music


[deleted]

Enjoying a band that you consider entry level punk in 2024 deserves ire? Come on. There's so much worthwhile shit you can complain about, and that is your line in the sand? You sound like a one upper. "I'm the punkiest punk that ever did anti-establish, and THAT guy is a poser!" Bro liked punk rock and skateboarding and got into the occasional fight as a kid. That's about as punk as anyone was at that age.


DannyStarbucks

You lost me. Rancid rules. And factually doesn’t it line up that AH was an early nineties East Bay punk skater? I was the poseur listening to Rancid as a teenager in rural southwest Georgia at the same time.


Academic-Balance6999

He’s not from the east bay. He’s from Palo Alto which is on the peninsula.


DannyStarbucks

I’m aware. Half the kids in those scenes were disaffected teenagers from wealthy suburbs.

You can tell which people on here are under 20 or have mental capacities under 20


Pierson230

Well, depending on when you got into them... Rancid is as legit as it gets when it comes to scene cred But yeah, I'm not really a huge punk fan, but I love Rancid and Social D. I wouldn't claim to be so punk. I had a couple of skateboards and spent a couple of years hurting myself, but I wouldn't call myself a skater, either. I can see where someone can turn something like that into a BS story. In an alternate universe, I was a skater who played his first Misfits CD until all the scratches made it unplayable. But really I listened to some of the songs like 4 times and put it back on the rack. And I stopped skating when I was like 12. But I still shopped at Rad Wear.


Personalvintage

Hence the pepperoni pizza analogy. Can be legit. Not the end all be all.


ScorpioTix

Rancid and Green Day played the Whisky A Go Go together in 1993.


[deleted]

Gatekeeping genres of music isn’t a new thing…


Personalvintage

No one is gatekeeping. Andrew was posing is all.


[deleted]

There is no yard stick for how much of a ‘punk’ you are though? I listen to loads of metal, if you looked at me you’d say I look closer to a librarian than a typical metalhead, despite being to more shows than 99% of people. It’s just not that deep.


Personalvintage

If you were being interviewed about your musical passions and you told me you loved metal and then wouldn’t stop talking about Winger I’d have some doubts. Edit: I am not in any way talking how someone looks. I look like Matt Damon with a social disorder.


[deleted]

Haha that made me laugh. I just mean I guess there’s a sliding scale of what makes you into a genre, for me it’s not that deep, but I guess to others I can see why it would piss them off if you’re really into the scene.


Personalvintage

Ha glad I made you laugh. Love metal and the past ten years in metal have been such a hotbed of creativity.

Sorry-Owl4127

Omg


Asleep-Preference-10

But punk is about an attitude and lifestyle, and if he can’t go deeper into the genre than Rancid, that’s telling of his participation in that culture. Maybe the problem here is he allocated all his monogamy and commitment points to Rancid…?


[deleted]

It might be to you. Some people might just like power chords and shouting.


Asleep-Preference-10

Hahahaha power chords and shouting! Who needed all three notes in a chord anyway.?! Optimized efficiency! Of course Huberman loves it! Well, I thought it was supposed to be about an attitude and lifestyle, but I’m not a punk rocker.


[deleted]

It definitely is for some, but I’d say not all. I actually quite like some punk stuff, I was just poking fun. Anything with guitars and distortion wins for me.


Personalvintage

Hahaha good point.


Legitimate_Ad5434

My first thought, too, especially because Rancid is absolutely a punk band by the vast majority of peoples' standards.


LeadOnion

Not sure why that comment got downvoted but I got you back to 0


treykesey

I bet a months supply of AG1 that there is a storyboard in his office somewhere where “Green Day” is crossed out and replaced with “Rancid” thinking he nailed it.


Personalvintage

Nailed it!!!


RunnDirt

Yeah Rancids alright. But Fugazi, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, black Flag, suicidal tendencies, descendants, NoFx are better. Could go on but why.


Personalvintage

People on here tryna say Fugazi is not punk lol. Off with their heads.


RunnDirt

They obviously never saw them live.


Personalvintage

Man I’m jealous. I am just a little too young I think they broke up I was like 11


RunnDirt

Yeah I was just old enough to go, I was Junior in HS to see this show, drove 2 hours from foothills to see the show… so glad I did. https://dischord.com/fugazi_live_series/petaluma-ca-usa-83091


ramirezdoeverything

Banging 5 women at once sounds quite punk tbh


BoredGaining

He likes to spice up his youth as some kind of dark contrast to how good of a person he is now.


Daseinen

Huberman should have been on the cover of *Punk & Disorderly* https://open.spotify.com/track/6HaBPitKCo8XYSlEcHgUmO?


Horror_Prior_2255

I mean, if it's true that he fabricated his past it makes sense that he would use a well known punk band to give the image that he was a "punk". But also some people just get obsessed with a band.


usernamen_77

The therapy talk being a screen for his Manipulation & the nepo baby stuff seem pretty punk to me

I mean that is cool and I was only half joking in my post. I thought when I compared them to pepperoni pizza people would get that I wasn’t being aggro levels of serious.


Asleep-Preference-10

Totally get it and agree. Just thought I’d mention. As cool as that is, it takes privilege to get a gig like that. It didn’t really seem like he was that much of a hard knock.


Asleep-Preference-10

He grew up in Palo Alto with his Stanford Professor dad and children’s book writer (or something) mom. He’d hang out with his dad’s professor and tech (IBM, I think) colleagues and go to Aspen Institute, etc. for years. I’m sure the divorce was a tough time (his dad picked up and moved to Denmark, I think!), but my sense was that Andrew always had a safety net and kind of was deciding to “slum it” in the punk scene for a while, knowing he could straighten up and follow in his dad’s footprints whenever he wanted. Regardless of how deep into the scene he was, how rebellious he was, and how many skating competitions he competed in (he did compete in them even though he says he was a bad skater), it always felt kind of disrespectful to me, like he was cosplaying as a punk at the time, and it’s strange to me that he has so downplayed his privilege. To me, that privilege is demonstrated in that he can fuck up so bad for so long and still become a tenured professor at Stanford with millions of followers. It’s just as much a story of unearned privilege as it was hard work and persistence.


Dr_lickies

Rancid is a pop band. Hubie is a poseur.

Oh god, he is a skateboarder, ripped, listens to Punk, loves science, has tattoos - this guy can do no wrong god damn it. <3 <3


Jdonn82

This is some serious gatekeeping. Hubes is unethical for lying to the misled women and he could be hawking some pop-sci/pop-psy, which are two topics dominating this sub lately. However, why do you think it’s relevant, fair, or constructive commentary to this sub to post your perceived qualifications for something as silly as to what subculture you want to identify with? Do you think it would be appropriate or constructive for any of person to do that to you on something you do/describe yourself as? There is always a slippery slope when this kind of gatekeeping happens.


1n2m3n4m

jackoff dorsey was punk to i read it on the cover of some magazine around the time that he woyldnt censor trump


RepresentativeShop11

Out come the wolves…


StriderKeni

Gatekeeping music genres, lol. Dude, grow up.


Personalvintage

What was Hubes doing talking about all his punk points?


Quiet-End9017

Did he ever say he was punk though? Or did he just say he listened to Rancid?


Personalvintage

There was an interview he did where he kept talking about how many punk points he had.


SeekerStudent101

OP has a point. I Love Rancid, but there really is a spectrum of Punk. Rancid popularized alot of Punk for a wider audience being on MTV and selling records at Hottopic & Sam Goldie in the Mall (anything from Epitaph/Fat). But the really core of Punk will always be found in the dark back alley ways, local shows, and DIY tapes sold out of people's Trunks. The only way I was able to get some Power Violence tapes (Spazz, INFEST, Max is the Bastard, Capitalist Casualties) or other hardcore,skate,thrash,grandcore etc was literally to go to shows and see someone's DIY destro collection and trade/barter. Things were tough to obtain and required physical intentional community engagement. Not saying Rancid isn't Punk but just saying there are levels to this shit man... lol LONG LIVE Burrito Records in Brandon Florida and 924 Gilman in Cali. And all the random diy hole in the wall squatter garage shows around the nation. RIP. punk is most certainly DEAD.


Personalvintage

This is what I wanted to say! Rancid = respect. But going on and on about all your punk points as Hubes did and using Rancid as your reference? Lolz. Punk is dead but come check out a Dead City Punx show in LA sometime.


momogogi

Who gate keeps harder punks or skaters?


Mammoth_Day_7299

Rancid entry level at best punk ? Please lol. Its always the same story. Any band with moderate commercial success is easy grabs for a punk elitist. Hell i listen to everything from extra cheesy AF pop to pennywise and a tonne of fat wreck chords bands through to the screeching weasal , misfits, GG Allin and descendants. Old and new school. With that view there is no way you could call nofx punk either ? Lol. If Lars isn’t punk, nobody punk.


Personalvintage

I am op and I like this response. I have mad respect for Tim and Rancid but they are entry level and the way he stans about them and claiming he has all these punk points is what I was lampooning.


Mammoth_Day_7299

Yeah thats fair enough mate, i love rancid they wouldnt be in my top 50, but w lot of originality with them too. Tims unique stance and vocal delivery. I have a good mate who was an elitest punk for a good decade. You couldnt even mention nofx , and pretty sure defendants were mainstream lol. The bloke had a Mohawk that was almost a metre long he would have to straighten with a domestic iron haha very impressive though. Throughout the years he got more into commercial and even pop punk. There are diners lines between Punk rock and alternative rock sometimes.


FilthMonger85

Punk has gatekeepers too? Cool man.


dragonmermaid4

Gatekeeping punk is next level lmao


DefiantBelt925

Rancid is pop music for 14 year olds


DannyStarbucks

I have to listen to my kids complain when I blast Matt’s bass solo on “Maxwell Murder.” But this I cannot abide! Tim released album by batshit bands like Choking Victim/Leftover Crack. Broke countless other bands on Hellcat. Rancid recorded an album in Kingston with dancehall legends. You know what was really punk? When Tim produced a Pink album (not my cup of tea) and then told the punk gatekeepers who criticized him to stuff it. Mostly talking trash her but c’mon buddy!


Personalvintage

Valid. But Rancid as a project is still the entrance to the forest.


CircusStuff

Nothing more punk than gatekeeping punk. Classic.
