band even though they have always been labeled this. They are either "pop-punk" or "rock and roll". I can't think of many true American "punk bands" since 1985. They should be labeled "pop-punk". That would be more accurate. Sometimes they are called pop-punk but not often enough.

American "punk bands"...
Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Misfits, Bad Religion
