Irish Folk music is very popular worldwide and some of the best bands include The Chieftains, The Pogues, The Dubliners, Mary Black and the Irish legend Dick Gaughan.
Anywhere! Not often on the radio though, seeing as a lot of punk bands are indie. There are big punk scenes in places such as Orange County, other parts of CA, Boston, and some areas of New York.
big bands and swing,i think.
well i'm mainly a punk rocker and a metal head but i scroll through all the music channels and some punk band's are appearing on there (and meta but that's not part of your answer) so i think its beginning to take over
Punk Music Dead? When people say, "punk is dead", they mean true, original punk. The style of music that a true punk rocker is a part of has been perverted and watered down into a commercial friendly profit making scheme. The off shoots of punk: pop-punk, emo, etc. are not concidered "punk" to some people that were truly into the original punk movement and see it as an insult to punk as having their genre dragged through the mudd for these crappy new genres. That's why when someone says, "punk is dead", they mean the new punk genres out now are not really punk and no "real" punk music gets attention from anyone in the music industry. The real punk music is dead. The new bands don't have the classic style that the original punk bands did. Punk is dead because it is now just another commercial genre that the record companies market. Punk was dead the second the damned released their first album. The term punk was a label put on a certain group of band in New York in the 70's to more easily categorize them. Original "punk" music was very experimental and the idea was to deconstruct any previous ideas of what music was, including labels. This label was not embraced by the "punk" community. So we can have arguments on whether punk is dead or not or we can honor the spirit of those few pioneers and just appreciate and play music for the sake of creativity. Punk means something different to every person you ask, so if anyone says "punk is dead" than maybe their idea of punk is dead and what "punk" means to me is to think for yourself. So, figure out what it means to you and leave everyone else alone. Punk is not dead it never died it's just evolved! A genre of music cannot die, simply because a lot of people listen to punk music and are still in punk bands. what they mean by that is the style is not thriving any more like it was back in 70s. Punk was invented in Britain in 1976. Unlike the above posters, I was there. It was dead by 1978 - *None* of the music that now aspires to be punk is, or ever could be punk. It's dead - carry on enjoying more recent stuf, but it ain't the real thing. Punk is not dead, unless you mean dead in the mainstream (and mainstream punk should be an oxymoron) and the only people who say so are old men living in denial, who think that the entire modern punk scene is made up of bands like Green Day, and have no idea that there are still bands in the underground that are way less commercial than many of the bigger bands in the 70s. Being older doesn't mean you're right.
seems to coming back in australia in an underground way, some awesome bands coming out of perth and melbourne right now

the structure of punk is lyrics that outrage society...heavy bass lines and rough riffs.. on a simler note the bands that made punk.. were sex pistols and ramones..that is the structure of punk....hope this helped you..
Actually, yes...sort of. The first punk scene was in New York City, at the nightclubs CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. But the very, very first punk bands (what some people call "proto-punk") -- the Stooges, and the MC5 -- were from Detroit. See the Related Question below for more information.
Skrillex, Daft Punk, and other remix bands are included
