I don't know what powerscaling even is tbh. It's also petty sectarianism that isn't really taken seriously person to person toooooooo much. At the end of the day we're all allies in what matters and are more silar to each other than the rest of the world. And folk punk isn't completely an incursion, the roots are there from the start with the pogues and the pub rock roots of early British punk, and if anyone even tries to deny that Mischief Brew or Against Me (up to and including As the Eternal Cowboy, I'm iffy after) isn't just really good tunes I'd have a hard time believing them, I also really like This Bike is a Pipe Bomb. It started as dirty punks writing acoustic songs to busk with and make cash and became the new Ska, a refuge for privileged band geeks but this one combined 1930s train hoppers with modern crusty squatters in a way that was cool until.tom waits fans got involved (no shade to.tom waits himself there)
