Ok - what I was getting at was that Hardcore, for instance, has basically had two big influences (BF and BB) and there hasn't really been much to break that template in nearly 30 years. Ska-punk hasn't really done much since Rancid. The so-cal and pop punk stuff hasn't really changed since Husker Du or possibly the Ramones. Garage punk is mostly the Stooges.
And you've listed a few individuals there, rather than a whole scene. And Steve Albini's not a punk - he's a hack.
I'm not saying the British are any better, I just feel that punk is much more about a social and cultural thing than it is about musical invention. The punks I know (admittedly in the UK) are all pretty much about community rather than invention.
