Okay, long time punk fan here, I agree to a point. If you take a close look at The Ramones, they were, for the most part, the first punk band, every other punk act took what they did to a different level. Many many of their songs are now the background music for ads on TV, does this make The Ramones any less than what they are?
The punk bands of today are trying to capitalize on the "success" of Green Day, that originally is a punk band. I like some of the music, but I wouldn't call it punk, no way... Their music is sort of a throw back to the "hair band" days of the eighties. I might listen to it, but it's not the same. It definately isn't like any of the bands that "didn't" make it big, but everyone knew.
