I always think of Ash's "Kung Fu" and the Fleshtones' "Remember the Ramones" single, sure I'm blanking on several others right now...

Great and interesting article! My only quibble is Green Day. I absolutely abhor them.

This was a fun post! - Sincerely, a former obnoxious punk who used to performatively call every fun band not punk enough

That's a punk rock rite of passage. Lasts longer for some than others. And a few never seem to let it go. Onward!
