I strongly disagree with you. I suppose you'd call Bad Religion and Pennywise pop-punk then? All of those bands are Pop-punk (and Sum even goes beyond that). This isn't the 70's anymore. Punk isn't all raw anymore. The standards have changed. Led Zeppelin wouldn't be considered Hard Rock today, but back in '69, they were the heaviest thing going. Same goes for punk.
