I mean one of my closest friends at uni, called Green Day "punk" and they are NOT, by a long shot, especially after succumbing to popular culture and commercialism of the music industry now.
Yes, I'd have to agree with you to say that you dont need to be sound punk to be punk but im waiting for the next sub-genre of punk to revitalise the music industry from this popular, hip-hop, "R&B" shit that i hear on the radio.
Punk has changed over the years... Or better yet, society's definition of punk... Most kids now think Green Day is punk because they dress like modern day punks, and their music is heard by the youth... at first, I would have to say Punk started during the 60's... Even though it wasn't called punk, they had the same views. Mainly rebellion against the norm, and drugs... Punk has changed every decade because the youth has changed every decade... So have recording styles...
And i can't agree more with what you said about the "popular hip hop, r&b shit"... radio is shit now, it's all repetitive.. Somebody please teach these people to write interesting music!!!!!!!!!!
