Hey, you who refuses to name him/herself:
Punk is one of the most conservative _musical_
genres ever. How many punk albums do you still 
listen to? If it's more than 5, then you're
a sad individual. Prog rock, despite being nearly
universally reviled (usually by
people who've barely heard the music), is
a helluva lot more sonically interesting than
punk ever was (give me Gong's _You_ over _Never
Mind The Bollocks_ any day).
