Sorry but songs like this say you're wrong. This isn't the most punk track ever, but to say it's not punk is ludicrous. In my opinion this proves Occukthawk right.

I made this point earlier but coming to age at Gilman wasn't just punk it was the definitive punk at the time. MRR and all that. Any other claims are false revisionism.

The releases by green day on lookout! was 90's punk. It's the material after that when they move away from punk.

To be fair, Green Day have always done a disservice to the music industry, whether it was toward punk or not.

Anyone who isn't a genre-definition purist probably would agree that "Basket Case" and "Longview" are indeed legitimate "punk" songs in both sound and attitude. In fact, IMO there probably isn't much else recorded after 1987 or so that would qualify...

Yeah, but most songs after Dookie I think move into alternative territory.

I would respect that date more if you went ahead and said '76.

Nickelback isn't rock either because I like rock so they are not rock.

I'm going to assume frownland is making a point. And I agree with him completely. You can't not call it something just cause you don't like it.
