thats an interesting article, but it gives way too much credit to " punk in the early 90s" which i think is almost an oxymoron. Punk BARELY made it thru the 80s- ( let alone thrive in the 90s ) and if there are any true punk bands around anymore- 99% of us havent heard them- cause real punk rock is furiously underground. I mean thats one of the foundations of REAL punk rock. This shit today- new found glory, charlotte whatever - its mallpunk. Mass produced, prepackaged for your easy listening enjoyment...

so basically its anything BUT punk. However those of us who know better wont listen to it- and the kids who are tired of nysnc and are growin up WILL listen to it. Oh well. It went the way of metal i suppose ( 80s metal not the REAL shit we got underground these days : )

And it only took what - 25 some years for american pop culture to pick up and bastardize punk- not a bad run...

oh btw ive seen goodcharlotte, newfound glory and sum 41 in concert YESSS
