Who is more rebellious, Good Charlotte or GG Allin?
Good Charlotte and GG Allin - two completely different styles of music that target the same punk mentality. Who is the real kingpin of punk culture? Is it GG Allin, with his offensive lyrics and controversial themes? Or is it Good Charlotte with their happy, upbeat songs about girls, love, and high school life? All things considered, Hilary Duff is more of a punk than Joel Madden (Good Charlotte) because she makes her music shitty on purpose to piss people off. Good Charlotte is in no way rebellious or against the grain. How can they be rebels if everybody likes them?
Allin is the godfather of punk. He was wearing skulls, beating ass with spiked collars, and playing awesome (shitty) music about hate while Good Charlotte was still making prank calls and throwing pinecones at cars. If GG were alive today, he would do something very nasty to Good Charlotte. I'm not sure what because I'm not insane, but it would probably involve a chair, a rope, and a bucket full of cow semen.
A lot of people think that god is dead. If he is, GG Allin is most definitely responsible. I'm guessing that Allin cut off an angel's head and fucked her throat hole. That pissed God off, who tried to send GG to hell. GG bent over, shat into the air, and did a spinning round kick that knocked the turd into God's mouth, making him choke to death. If you're wondering why the world is becoming so corrupt, it's because GG Allin took God's place as supreme ruler of Earth.
Lyric Excerpt from a Good Charlotte Song:
It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life
That's what I'm told
But everything
It all just feels the same
At my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell
A penitentiary
My time spent there
It only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you
Lyric Excerpt from a GG Allin song:
So you're dead and gone, I'll fuck your anal cunt
A lifeless piece of flesh, I'll molest it if I want
You're my feast, your soul has gone away
But your tight anal cunt is what I'll stick it in today
Just another dead fuck, it means nothing to me
Shit on my prick, another bloody treat
Anal cunt, anal cunt, dead to the world
You'll be my fuck boy, you'll be my anal girl
Anal cunt, anal cunt, you're life has gone away
So what your dead, big fucking deal
Another bloody corpse, for me to make a meal
Nobody cares about you anyway
Your dead anal cunt will be my fuck of fucks today
As you lay on the ground at my feet
I'll rape your dead ass, and I'll penetrate it deep
Punk rock is about thinking differently and subsequently behaving in a manner that will offend and repulse as many people as possible. Good Charlotte is the opposite. They play to please as many teeny bopping virgins as they can. GG Allin could have only two fans and he'd still sing songs about rape, murder, and raping someone he murdered. He is neither tamed nor bound to any guidelines or boundaries. If Allin was offered a record deal from the same people as Good Charlotte, he would draw a pussy on the contract and stick his dick through it. Either that or slice his arm open with the pen and sign "Satan" with his blood.
I prefer the real punk mentality over the watered down version. I'm not big on vandalism or songs about dead anal cunts, but I have no choice but to respect a man who self-mutilates himself on stage and says things like, "I will not be tamed or act civilized... Everything I do, I do it to the extreme. Self-mutilation that satisfies me... Fast and hard, sleazy and cruddy... Raw, brutal, rough and bloody." G.G. Allin takes shit from nobody, shits on everybody, and would sooner die than be worshipped by giddy little 15 year old preppy bitches.
If the members of Good Charlotte attempted one thing Allin did, they would be kicked off their record label and regress to a small column in the tabloids. Punk is represented by freedom. Good Charlotte is not free. They are the opposite of free. These mainstream emo punk groups have less freedom than bands who cater to nuns, republicans, and grandparents. New wave punk groups are so tied down to the system that they don't even decide what they wear to shows. That and everything else is decided by fashion experts, agents, and MTV. Allin's favorite attire was a dog collar, leather jockstrap, and heavy black boots. I'd like to see Joel Madden come out wearing that. He won't. Instead, he'll use styling gel to spike up his pathetic little mohawk and smile to his audience like a cocky little rat bastard.
Good Charlotte and New Found Glory joined the third annual Honda Civic designing contest and inspired everyone with words like, "Our car is weighed down with crazy hos." That's interesting, because if G.G. Allin were to be in that contest, he would say, "My car is trashed, bloody, and filled with all the crazy hoes from your car." He would then hotwire Benji's Civic and floor the pedal out of there.

When compared to G.G. Allin, nearly every new wave punk rocker in existance is a raging pussy. This includes everybody who tries to fit the punk image. If you don't want to be a punk, that's fine, wear Abercrombie and Polo v-necks. There is nothing wrong with being like everybody else - you're safer and less likely to get embarassed or arrested. However, if for some strange reason your goal is to be unique, stop buying T-shirts and fishnet stockings from Hot Topic. Instead, focus your efforts on active hatred and offensive behavior. You might get somewhere if you spent your money on heroin and guns instead of spiked bracelets and black belt buckles.
