Genres and sub-genres are a reality. Some folks may not acknowledge them, or refuse to acknowledge their existance, but the reality is new bands are attracted to genres, or better stated "scenes", hard-core, cow-punk, skate-punk, whatever...and either die a death within it's confines, or expand out of it into something else. The Clash, X, Meat Puppets, The Replacements, Husker Du are examples of bands that started within the narrow constrains of various punk scenes, then busted out of them to become something else.
