Not really.
Name one genre of music that can be defined as so many things as Punk.
In so many places punk is called something else or gains yet another sub category.
So far I've heard it called punk and here are just some of the categories that people have created for it over time:
thrash, rave, ska, goth, techno, alternative, emo, hardcore.
Now before you jump down my throat. I know that there are a lot of people that would see some of the
sub categories I mentioned as seperate genres unto themself, but it can't be just my way of thinking if there are other people in the world that think this way too.
And you never denied that punk has changed over time or over the years but it's the one genre I can think of that has changed more thanany other genre.
I was 6, when I first heard
the Misfits and
the Smiths. Right now I'm almost 17 years old and some people call stuff like the
Beastie Boys punk. . . I won't say whether I think the Beastie Boys are punk or not, but if you think they are, and you've heard anything by the Smiths or the Misfits, you can't tell me that groups sound anything alike. Sure they make talk about the same stuff but it really doesn't too much a like now does it?
