Wiki
By late 1976, bands such as the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world. Punk quickly, though briefly, became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive clothing styles and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies.
By the beginning of the 1980s, even faster, more aggressive styles such as hardcore and Oi! had become the predominant mode of punk rock. Musicians identifying with or inspired by punk also pursued a broad range of other variations, giving rise to post-punk and the alternative rock movement.

But I will say this...scene stuff like Fall Out Boy is mislabeled as punk rock when the band lies more towards pop punk or pop rock.

Punk /= punk rock. Punk is a subculture. Punk rock is a music genre...and Green Day was playing punk rock long time ago before they even went mainstream. Same with The Offspring as well. Also, some people don't realize that being true punk rock (or true metal or true rock while we're at it) does not mean good music. Yeah, Clash, Ramones, Dead Kennedys are good, but I've heard tons of true hardcore punk rock bands from radio stations that are absolutely terrible and pointless to listen to. Just wanted to let you know.

Of course Green Day and Blink 182 aren't true punk. Punk (movement) was only in 70s . Biographies say that Green day, Offspring and Blink-182 are influenced by hardcore punk of 80's, music is like californian punk as Ramones, they belong to the revival scene of punk rock (music). Yes, unlucky they are a bit pop..but you can't say they aren't good at playing. Themes of songs aren't so banal. Read carefully the Bios. Sorry for the bad English I'm an italian 15-years-old girl :)

you got to check out this band, I heard of them a few years ago. They have been playing together since 1992 and have like 9 albums out, and all of there music is free to download on there website. There a western canadian band, but they are pretty unknown band to my knowledge. They have a pretty cool style, which is a little different the most new technical skate punk bands. Whatever check out there website www.slushpunk.com ( all of there 9 albums aree free to download ) and there myspace page ( www.myspace.com/slushpunk )
