yes, music is music. genres come and go, they have their peaks and they fade away. They rarely if ever come back to the forefront of culture. In 20 years hip hop will be "Old people's" music and the kids will thing that the Boom Bap, Boom Boom Bap, sounds as played and inert and lifeless as I find the fucking Eagles.
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!!!!!!!
