New Age Punk, getting better or worse?

New Age Punk is what we have now after we were deprived of the Clash and the Ramones. We have now bands like Blink 182, Good Charlotte and Simple Plan as the top punk bands. Does this mean that punk has died and shrivelled up into a ball? No, we do have Green Day still trying to hold the punk banner up high. Helping them had been the Offspring but after their last album they have left a lot to be desired. Still holding up the punk name in Australia is the Living End who have consistently made good with their albums. So the answer to my question? I believe that punk is in turbulent waters and is still in need of a steady hand to lead the ship through the storm. Maybe it will be Green Day due to their recently successful album or will the Offspring revive themselves and bring us back some creativeness to the punk scene.

Feel free to communicate your own views about my articles.
