    I mean, you can have whatever opinion you want but this one in particular isn’t very helpful. Lots of new bands call themselves or are called punk.

    Are you going to tell them they’re doing it wrong?

    You could make an argument that there is “classic punk” like “classic rock”, and maybe people would know what you meant, but that’s not really the language as it is spoken today.

      Calling one’s self a punk band doesn’t make it a punk band. And again, find me a band on bandcamp that describes themselves as a classic rock back writing new material.

          Because no one calls it “classic punk.” Greed Day and Black Flag are NOT the same type of music.

            Green Day is typically called pop punk. Subgenres and other categorization tools exist for good reason.

            If you want to start calling things “classic punk” go ahead. People will probably know what you mean. But to be like “sorry you can’t be punk in 2023” is shitty gatekeeping.
