You all really don't seem to know terribly too much about what punk really is.

see, I think your definition of punk is too narrow. By a LOT of sh*tty, generic sounding "punk" bands copying the sound of bands like good charlotte, ew found glory (and all the other sh*tty clones like them) haven't made it big, and are calling themselves punk. So, by your logic, they would be punk, even though their lyrics ae bland and unidentifiable, their music is manufactured and predictable, and yet because they're unsucsessful they're punk. that makes no sense whatsoever to me.
