Ok, but I still wonder about the Ramones in general? I mean, if we forget for a moment that pop-punk is often used as a derogatory term, couldn't it be said that the Ramones are pop punk? In the sense that several 90's punk acts are considered pop-punk. The element of danger is missing with the Ramones, and they're very polished and hooky. None of those have to be negative traits, but it just strikes me that they have a lot in common with bands that are considered pop punk.
If one wants to make that distinction at all.
