I'll quote them, you make your own decision:
"My mind is not for rent, I won't listen to what you say
You better take a hard look, we are sick of your rules"
("Proud to Be Punk")
yet in another song they say
"Punk has gone through changes
From spiky hair to long
Now anyone can say
They're into fucking punk"
("kill the hippies")
Constantly do they make mention of how they look or how they dress:
"Steel toe boots
Spiky Hair
We Dont Care
Punx & Skins"
("Punx & Skins")
"Boot boys mohicans with studs & spiky hair
While others have the same fucking patches and roll in the dirt"
("way of life")
"Spikey hair with soap
You don't like us at all"
("Die Hards")
"So you hate the spikey hair?
I'll grow my mohawk and make you stare"
("Punk Rock")
"You Always Put Us Down
Because we spike our hair
Bondage trousers and dyed hair
I'll never change my ways"
("For the Punx")
Why say The Casualties suck, when they can do it themselves?

A fast, New York hardcore street punk band. They have a little more musical talent than William Hung. You can usually tell when you're listening to them when you hear trite power chords, a thoughtless beat-boom tap boom-boom tap, just different lyrics that you can't make out.
They have one good song, "Made in N.Y.C." about the Ramones; which is acceptable. You will never see them with short cutted-hair because their hair, whether the punx will admit it or not, is part of their show; like a circus only with worst music. Their lyrics are usually very unoriginal when you can actually tell what Jorge is saying. They often whine about how tough they're life is when they chose to live it. They put the Sham 69 to shame when they changed the song "If the Kids are United" to "Punx Unite" (didn't even spell it right).
You can usually tell a Casualties follower when you see a punk rocker dressed up like it's halloween. They'll also alienate other punks who don't get all dressed up for the punx rawk shows and they think they are better than anyone else; quite possibly hypocrites in the way they talk about hating being judged by how they dress-up but will not talk to you if you don't look like a clown.
-The only reason to continually deny something is cause you know it bothers you.
Examples of their keen fashion sense:
"You Always Put Us Down
Because we spike our hair
Bondage trousers and dyed hair
I'll never change my ways" - For the Punx
"Steel toe boots
Spiky Hair
We Dont Care
Punx & Skins" -Punx and Skins

a perfect example of why punk is dead.
trite cliche lyrics, an image/music style stuck somewhere in east london in 1982... kind of like a "punk" sha-na-na. if you made a cartoon of what "punk" is "supposed" to be you'd come up with them.
i will give them credit for being martketing geniuses.... jake bought a house in new jersey with all the money they've made off all you moron's purchasing their shirts! they could never put out another crummy record and still make a living off you suckers from mech sales alone!!!
"the casualties are playing in town again? guess they're touring for their nursery rhymes album now"
"i know, what a bunch of crap"

Quite possibly one of the worst band's known to man kind. A band without any knowledge of how to dress sing or play their instruments. Hopefully one day all the rebellious types who listen to them will realize what garbage they are. The casualties should die.
The end
Andrew: Hey arent the casualties fucking awsome.
Lillie: No, they are terrible i hope they fall into a pit of sulfuric acid.
