2 and 3 are not even punk. They are all Epitaph bands or Fatwreck style "punk". Corporate "punk". Every band listed is one video away from being top 40.
There is in addition, and off the top of my head... crust, oi, streetpunk, skoi, hardcore, skapunk, skate, etc etc. And each one of those can be subniched to absurdity. Core can be broken down into about 20 niches alone.

Well I was mostly reffering to the term "punk" because that's what people refer them to...I know most of these bands have nothing to do with whole punk mentality as it was when it started...
What bother me is people who listen to this ONLY and mostly because they are popular band...I do like some popular bands but it's because I like the music for what it is and I would probably listen to'em even if they weren't popular... i'm very open-minded in music...(remember Quo Vadis?.. i like this kinda stuff too...
