Alternative, post punk, post rock, experimental music, and free improvisation have millions of bands that sound the same, but they are quite meaningless genres as well as far as sound goes.

You give me the impression you're one of those dudes who thinks only 80's punk rock bands count as punk.
But hey, at the very least the "trash" is often inspired by those bands, I guess.

According to elephenor, we've all been living a lie. Every last one of us.

I think quite a few late 60's bands count as punk as well if we're using it as a sound
Oh I know, plenty of now considered "post-punk" bands used to also just be seen as punk rock bands and were in the same scenes.


And also, yes we've all been living a lie. The only punk band is actually Death Grips.

It's called all of New Yard hardcore, and it's not all it's cracked up to be.

pretty sure most post-hardcore (nomeansno, slint, husker du etc.) would count as "prog-punk"
