Last time I checked Avril Levigne.Sum 41 and Good Charlotte, were not then, not now, not ever PUNK.

whats your beef with sum 41?

I'd imagine most people's beef with Sum 41 is that they blow monkey anus

Exactly, its an attitude, a state of mind. doesnt matter how you look as long as you have the state of mind then your "punk" to me
for me Anarcho "punk", Crust and Grindcore all the way FTW!

Good vocals, melodies, lyrics (ok). So they aren't indie, but they aren't bad either. I agree. Guilty pleasure.
