I feel the the fast paced high energy punk that took its place in the early - mid 90's was a suitable replacement for the "punk" phrase. This new Emo crap isn't.
Well, the new stuff still ties back to the 70s and 80s.

The high energy punk of today is based in large part on New Wave. See also: Cars, the; Ocasek, Ric. It's also got a lot to do with the Beach Boys. Theory student whose father is a music historian, so I've got a lot of shit in my head.

I've never seen the Clash as Punk. That's just me (And a lot of other people).

Still, I'll take the Post-Punk of the Neighborhoods or Mission of Burma, or the power punk the Neighborhoods later did, combined with Naked Raygun, anyday.
