    Calling one’s self a punk band doesn’t make it a punk band. And again, find me a band on bandcamp that describes themselves as a classic rock back writing new material.

        Because no one calls it “classic punk.” Greed Day and Black Flag are NOT the same type of music.

          Green Day is typically called pop punk. Subgenres and other categorization tools exist for good reason.

          If you want to start calling things “classic punk” go ahead. People will probably know what you mean. But to be like “sorry you can’t be punk in 2023” is shitty gatekeeping.
