No, you.

The context that the sentence creates should be pretty easy to spot.

i think so
they were "more" punk way back but then over time turned into a sort of

pop-punk

I'd say up until and including 21st Century Breakdown they were punk enough (though still declining in quality. The trio is debatable as pop punk albums, I'd say just pop rock for most of it.

They're probably as commercially successful as the sex pistols were.

They were far more commercially successful than the Sex Pistols were, but that's because when Dookie came out punk had become safe and easily digestable for the masses.

And now it's irrelevant music, an urban youth culture fad that's now 40 years old.

See Thee Headcoats

one of the best punk shows ever and it happens in front of like 40 people

Garage Rock. I'm surprise you don't the difference. But then again I'm glad you don't know, cause this vindicate all the people you tried to troll - passing yourself off as a know-it-all.
