Yeah, and new bands get added every year as time marches on. Your initial comment is insane though. Country, metal, electronica, they all continue on, but punk has died…? That’s not how music works at all. Punk is still happening every day. From the classics you mentioned, to some shitty band who only formed last week and are still thrashing out their first song in their parents garage, it’s all out there. Plenty of ways to find it too. Speciality punk record labels and record stores, punk venues, plenty of playlists to be found.
You’re not getting my point. Classic rock wasn’t called classic rock when it was new. No one in the 70’s were calling Pink Floyd a classic rock band. They were just a rock band.
Punk (music) was a thing that happened, not a thing that IS happening.
Rock music sis still created though… You’re basically saying “70s rock could only happen in the 70s so therefore punk doesn’t exist anymore”. The “70s rock” part of that sentence isn’t even true, let alone the jump from it to the back half.
No, what I’m saying is that in the 70’s, what we know now as “classic rock” was simply called “rock” music. I thought I explained this pretty well already.
Similarly, in the 70’s punk was called punk. What we have now that is calling itself punk- in my opinion, can’t be punk. Because punk WAS. Like how classic rock WAS.
There are no NEW classic rock bands. Ergo, there are no new punk bands.
Then be clearer. You asked if classic rock is a thing. And I answered that, it still is a thing with new songs added every year. And I say again, your initial comment about punk music is insane. I made it pretty fucking clear about how it is still a genre that is still happening to this day. You ignoring that doesn’t discount what I wrote.
And I said in my original comment that this is my opinion. I’m not going to apologize because it bothers you. If you don’t like it or agree, you’re free to move along. No one is forcing you to debate this.
