Remember, "punk" is not a musical genre, but a style of presentation, which is why it can encompass bands as varied as Ramones and Butthole Surfers....
"punk" instrumentation is largely just regular old rock n roll instrumentation.
The saddest thing I see is going to local underground shows and having to sit through yet another band trying to sound like Bad Religion. Jesus fuck, it is OVER people!!!!!!!

Ok, but dude- "boom bap" is
already old folks' music. Old
ish, anyway. People our age (mid thirties - forties) are the youngest folks who truly dig that style of hip-hop.
I read an interview with Young Thug where he straight up said he didn't like Jay-Z (?!) ... He "recognizes his influence" but that "wasn't his era." And in a lengthy editorial I found on Flipboard not long ago titled something like "The Old School I Killing Hip-hop," some kid ranted for several paragraphs about how Wu Tang Clan and Tribe and Biggie didn't matter anymore, saying that the current marble-mouthed jibber jabber of Future and Young Thug represented an all time peak for creativity in hip-hop.
Sorry to get off topic, but I felt compelled to point out that "boom bap" is probably already considered as ancient as the Eagles.
