Any Punk fans on Giant Bomb? 
What do you think is the best punk band not formed in the 70s? So no Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols ect. 
Personally I am a huge Rancid fan, they would be my pick.   Though I also love Green Day, Social Distortion, and Dead Kennedys.

Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, Subhumans, and Samhain are a few of my favs. I can't pick just one. Too hard lol.

I think the Alkaline Trio is pretty good. I don't know if anyone else would consider these punk bands but I Flogging Molly and The Drop Kick Murphys.

Don't take it the wrong way but as a punk fan I seriously want to smash my guitar on top of your head for even putting Green Day *pukes in his mouth*  in the same sentence with Social Distortion and DK's.

Fugazi fugazi fugazi.
 
Edit: Also, Botch. It could be argued that they're more of a metal band then punk, I'd consider them hardcore punk.

To me punk doesn't really exist outside of a short time period.  I mean think about actual punk bands like Suicide, Television, Talking Heads, Joy Division and Wire, those are all big, influential punk bands that sound nothing like what is called punk today. In the 70's punk was a scene more than a style really, and once it became an actual style they kind of chose the worst aspects to focus on.   
 
That said, if you want to count them, Pixies were pretty fucking awesome.

The Pixies are not a punk band. So is not Talking Heads or Joy Division.

Rancid is a good pick, but NOFX is the right answer. PROVE ME WRONG
 
I tend to listen to more ska or hardcore than punk, but Rancid and NOFX never get old

Drive Like Jehu?  Or are they considered post-something or another?  They definately came from that tradition.

I don't even know what you're talking about when you're saying it turned into a style.
 
And hardcore punk is better than old school punk.

@FancySoapsMan: You're correct.
  
I love punk rock. While the scene might seem stale to outsiders and dropouts, the international DIY community is strong as fuck, with a shitton of good bands releasing albums and touring the world. Here's my current favorite straight up punk bands atm:
 
Criminal Damage, from Portland, USA:   
  
and the Assassinators, from Denmark:   
  
Both bands have good lyrics, a strong melodic touch and put on awesome shows. Whether you're into the most underground DIY scene or only know punk from the radio you'll probably enjoy these bands.

Oh, wait, DK's aren't an option? 
 
...that pretty much just leaves Green Day, The Offspring, Social Distortion and Against Me! Rise Against is okay too, I guess. 
 
Not that big a punk fan outside of the 1970's stuff. It starts getting overly hardcore for the most part after The Sex Pistols came about. 
 
OH, SHIT. I just remembered that The Dropkick Murphys exist. /endthread.

@jakob187: Bad Religion and black flag both formed in the 70's. But i very much agree with NOFX.
