It's just I think it's pointless to "create" a genre, based on the lyrics or some political stance.

well no, actually there are no other bands like Subhumans or Aus Rotten unless you are talking about like Defiance or Self Destruct.. see the connection? A scene develops out of music that sounds the same and talks about the same things.
What connects early sonic youth with glenn branca? no-wave.
what connects Nirvana with Mudhoney? grunge (which is actually a kind of mellow crust/street if you think about it)
what connects Tribe Called Quest with Slick Rick? hip hop
its not that these are forced connections, a scene develops out of natural, mutual relationships. Bands that sound alike and sing about the same shit tend to attract the same kinds of fans, and this inevitably evolves into a full fledged scene..
chaos/anarcho punk is/was definitely a distinct scene within punk. we were/are very different in our tastes, opinions, and lifestyles than other 'punks' and so it is right that we had our own scene/genre. it was not a labeling thing, its about common sounds, interests and goals.
