I was talking about And out come the wolves, and still punk to me. Pixies is punk, replacements is still punk to me. No need to be a purist.

College Alternative is not Punk.

I went to Pixies concerts when I was at BU in the 80's. They were a rich white kid college band.

Punk was a very specific movement.

It's like saying, "Yeah, impressionism is same as Cubism." No. It isn't. Don't rewrite history because it suits your invented personality.
