    You’re not getting my point. Classic rock wasn’t called classic rock when it was new. No one in the 70’s were calling Pink Floyd a classic rock band. They were just a rock band.

    Punk (music) was a thing that happened, not a thing that IS happening.

      Rock music sis still created though… You’re basically saying “70s rock could only happen in the 70s so therefore punk doesn’t exist anymore”. The “70s rock” part of that sentence isn’t even true, let alone the jump from it to the back half.

        Exactly! And they’re constantly adding new songs to the canon! Hell, they’ve added some nirvana and foo fighters tracks!

        No, what I’m saying is that in the 70’s, what we know now as “classic rock” was simply called “rock” music. I thought I explained this pretty well already.

        Similarly, in the 70’s punk was called punk. What we have now that is calling itself punk- in my opinion, can’t be punk. Because punk WAS. Like how classic rock WAS.

        There are no NEW classic rock bands. Ergo, there are no new punk bands.

      Then be clearer. You asked if classic rock is a thing. And I answered that, it still is a thing with new songs added every year. And I say again, your initial comment about punk music is insane. I made it pretty fucking clear about how it is still a genre that is still happening to this day. You ignoring that doesn’t discount what I wrote.

        And I said in my original comment that this is my opinion. I’m not going to apologize because it bothers you. If you don’t like it or agree, you’re free to move along. No one is forcing you to debate this.

          Nah, you literally posted on a forum. The whole point is to drive conversation. If you don’t like being called out for saying idiotic things, then don’t post. Don’t try and turn this around and say that this is some sort of failing on my behalf. And yeah you have an opinion, but it’s a prejudiced opinion. Ie. one without just grounds or sufficient knowledge. That means it’s not a well founded one. And opinions like that have been called out since language was formed, bit late to start crying about it happening now.

            It’s a failing on your behalf for resorting to petty insults because you don’t like someone’s opinion. And for the record- it’s people like you that are driving people back to Reddit. Because when people see that they can’t post their opinions without being insulted by people who can’t accept that others think differently- they go back to places like Reddit- where even though there are even more people like you there-

            At least there’s more content to enjoy.

            Going to block you now as you clearly have nothing of value to offer any future discussions I might find myself in.

              Oh please. There’s no flocking back to Reddit. You got your feelings hurt and you think that’s part of some grand plan? Spare me. And like I said, you posted an opinion based in infactual information, that will get called out on any internet forum you go to, and will get called out in most real life scenarios too. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean that whatever you say on that topic is suddenly protected from any criticism. Racism is an opinion. Do we suddenly not stand against that now? You are pathetic…
