Anything that has ever been considered punk by anybody? Bands that sound like the Ramones? The New York 1970s scene? Detroit in the 60s, England in the 70s, LA in the 80s? Bands that are snotty? What do you mean by punk?

Have you ever listened to these bands, Theorry? There's an awful lot of stylistic real estate between Minor Threat and Pere Ubu and the Theoretical Girls, yet all fall under the umbrella of Punk. It is the quintessence of diversity.

but if punk is as diverse as you say, then why not ashlee simpson?

hardcore is to punk what acorns are to oak trees, silly person.
Just because a genre is diverse, that doesn't necessarily make it all-encompasing.

And yeah, if you think DEVO and the New York Dolls sound the same you're a fucking moron.

Are you being "controversial" here?
― Dan (Get A New Hobby Horse Already) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 21 November 2005 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link
I was going to cite that too, but I've seen arguments to the contrary.
...y'know, unlike, say, Hip Hop.
No, here I believe I was "being a dick," but by the same token, I'd assert with a straight-face that there's more diversity under the banner of Punk than there is under the banner of Hip Hop.
