[kj] Clip of US punk documentary/riots

[Alexander Smith]

No, because if you examine the very term, "post-Punk," it's a  
significantly broader term (i.e., that which came after punk, using  
punk as a catalyst). But when you get into all the frantic hair- 
splitting you so love (that which is and which is not "hardcore" yet  
may also be punk but not metal), it's all a bit like "The Sneetches"  
by Dr.Seuss.

Give these bands the freedom to be whatever they want to be before  
you shove them into some claustrophobic little box.
