Punk is better... when new school is still underground. Nofx, Descendents, Lagwagon, The Lawrence arms... A few bands who produced good music until emo became mainstream. Old school punk is good too but it's not my scene though I listen to misfits, the clash, stiff little fingers to some extent... If Metal music is your thing try to listen to underground metal though I don't know where you can find it here in Qatar.
