I mean... what is punk really? It seems pretty undefined.
Nah it's pretty well defined - no, greenday is no longer straight up punk. Pop punk rock would probably fit them better now.
I'm game. I'm 57 years old and I've been listening to music since before the sex pistols. Let's hear the definition of Punk.
Raw. Anti-establishment. Rebel. But also punk doesn't give a fuck how I define it and punk would say fuck you for asking. But it would also share a half smoked cigarette and ask to crash on your couch.
You're right punk can't be defined - all I can say is that Greenday isn't anymore. Or maybe I'm a sellout.
Sounds legit to me in my 50s now. I would add probably not having a large music label backing you and not giving a fsck about that either.
