You don't have to have a mohawk or wear a jeanjacket to be punk. I'm tired of the so-called true punks that insist that they're so hardcore and how everyone's trying to ruin their culture.
I'm no lover of Avril or Simple Plan or other pop-punk type bands. But I see no harm in the blending of lines. Maybe they'll start listening to the Ataris or MxPX after that. Is it that bad to have more people experimenting and listening to a new type of music? As far as I'm concerned, I think getting more people interested is a good thing.
Unless some people are too afraid that it'll go too mainstream...and then they'll have to act preppy to show that they're different and against authority...

My first post was going to be something along these lines, but you beat me to it.
