Query: There's a reason why punk died...it was terrible

I laugh every time I hear people proclaim this or that band as "punk". That ... music died a long time ago and people still want to milk it. Punk was about bad playing, bad singing, and statement making. The statement made was "We Suck". And just as so called "punk" bands before them the Hives fit that statement. The singing, if you can call it that is god aweful. The musicianship is non-existant. The length of the cd should tell you about the song craft. The amazing thing is that people are eating this ... up. So if you like garbage than by all means buy this. If you insist on proclaiming punk your music taste at least listen to the source like The Ramones, The Clash,..etc.
