People's musical taste will obviously evolve with the newer genres they are exposed to. Ostrasizing a particular section of the "scene" for these tastes is obviously counter productive, as is claiming ones styles superiority. Punk is as much an ethos as it is a musical style, I would be confidnet in stating that Strung Out don't aurally or ideologically adhere to the original definition of punk- but they are still classed as punk.
I don't care what genres of music any of you listen to and you shouln't care about my tastes. My actions and decisions however have little relevance to these taste so i would appreciate peoples condemnation to be justified before personal insults are forged.
Dave, i have always been as honest and accomodating towards you as i find fit, so your dismissal of my achievements as pretensios comes as something of a slight surpise. I was going to refrain from mentioning your glorified,trivial, americanised,ultra-generic, lyrically immature choice of music genre but then i realised your heroes are cocaine addled rockstars who couldn't be further from the defintition of punk. Well my defintion of punk- what's yours? ....i eagerly await a reply.
