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).
