Punk has definitely gone through it's major evolutions.
Sadly I wasn't there to watch the metamorphosis of it from the beginning.

Punk began with bands like the Ramones, and changed to something else with bands like Basement Jaxx, and a whole lot of others.

There are so many different kinds of punk now days.
there's thrash, emo, ska, techno, and some others.

I guess it's all in how you interpret it.

I define punk as just about anything too light to be heavy metal and has the attitude of a grunge band. I suppose garage bands can be punk too though.
