OK, so I provided a commonly referred to sub-genre, surf punk, a prominent band in that field, Agent Orange, and an explanation of why I think it's more surf rock than surf punk.
Here's another. Crust punk. Prominent band in this genre, Tragedy. Sounds closer to crossover and early 90's metalcore in most places to me. Lyrically they have an anti-establishment ethos, sure. But then that would mean a driving force behind punk is the ethos and the politics (vegan, anarchist, nihilist, etc) more than sound. And if that's the case then political climate and awareness is as integral to defining what 'punk' is as any of the music they play. Thus, the original anti-conservative climate in which the punk bands of the 70's and 80's started and "matured" is intrinsic to the music itself. Double thus, punk is dead. Doesn't mean people don't play fast, sloppy, rock songs. Just means it's not 'punk rock'.
You have not provided any logic, evidence, thought behind your post. But in my short time back, I haven't had any reason to think you would.
