In Theaters Now. For schedule: http://www.punksnotdeadthemovie.com
On the edge of the 30th anniversary of punk rock, Punk's Not Dead takes you into the sweaty underground clubs, backyard parties, recording studios, and yes, shopping malls and stadium shows where punk rock music and culture continue to thrive. Thirty years after bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols infamously shocked the system with their hard, fast, status-quo-killing rock, the longest-running punk band in history is drawing bigger crowds than ever, "pop-punk" bands have found success on MTV, and kids too young to drive are forming bands that carry the torch for punk's raw, immediate sound. Meanwhile, "punk" has become a marketing concept to sell everything from cars to vodka, and dyed hair and piercings mark a rite of passage for thousands of kids. Can the true, nonconformist punk spirit still exist in today's corporatized culture? Featuring interviews, performances, and behind-the-scenes journeys with the bands, labels, fans, and press who keep punk alive, Punk's Not Dead dares to juxtapose pop-punk's music and lifestyle against the roots in the 70s and 80s, resulting in unexpected revelations.
A DIY search for the soul of a subculture and a celebration of all things loud, fast, and spiked, Punk's Not Dead shows punk is stronger and more relevant today than it's ever been.

Green day are a radio bull band, therefore not a punk band. I mean SHADOW OF THE DAY? my is more punk than that piece of . If you think Green day is punk, then you have no idea what the word punk even means.

did i miss something. i dont believe that anyone of these guys claimed they were in a punk band or anything like that. they are only talking about their punk influences. if frank iero, or benji madden or any of these guys wanna talk about their influences let them. just because they arent playing in a punk band doesn’t mean they dont have any punk influences
