I guess it's the "and punk" part that is particularly ridiculous. Punk may have meant something when Mark E. Smith and Thurston Moore were using their allowances to buy 7"s but today could you pick a more subjective and ultimately irrelevant term? Who's more punk Christ on Parade or the Subverts? Bikini Kill or Television? Pussy Galore or Unrest? Sonic Youth and The Fall are both undoubtedly more punk than Lynyrd Skynyrd and less than Cr@ss, and who could possibly care? Do the guitars ring like bells in your ears? Does that get you off? Good, you are like me (or "yr." like me if you absolutely have to prefer).
