I mean, you can have whatever opinion you want but this one in particular isn't very helpful. Lots of new bands call themselves or are called punk.

Are you going to tell them they're doing it wrong?
You could make an argument that there is "classic punk" like "classic rock", and maybe people would know what you meant, but that's not really the language as it is spoken today.
Why do you accept "classic rock" exists alongside "rock" but not "classic punk" alongside "punk"?
Also here's crobot. They're tagged as classic rock: https://crobot.bandcamp.com/album/feel-this .They do a great live show
I sense "no true Scotsman" coming, though.
I'm not really sure what part of your comment was an opinion, but "people don't start punk bands anymore" is simply not true. There's plenty of new punk acts out there, the genre didn't just come to an abrupt halt in 1990. Just off the top of my head is IDLES and The Chats, but you can find tons of recent bands if you look.
Poser alert!
Exactly what a poser would say 😎
Punk IS not was, it always has been and always will be.
Only if you want to start circumcising mosquitos here.
Classical as a word typically refers to the period of time the Greeks were at their height.
Classical Rock uses the spirit of the word Classical to describe this era of rock and roll as the basis for modern Rock and Roll.
Now if you want to use the term classical rock to describe an era, then no that era is gone. If you want to decide that only the period of the 70s and early 80s that punk was as you describe it then SURE punk is dead.
But punk started before the 70s and will continue long after you and I are dead.
By the arbitrary definition that punk was a genre of rock music that existed only during a certain time period… sure it was and no longer is.
I simply champion the idea that labeling punk as a genre is ironic in and of itself, to say it fits in a narrow definition is also kinda ironic.
Rock
punk
classic rock
classic punk
Yes, but they won't release new music, because then it wouldn't be classic anymore.
KEEP OPINIONS OUT OF EXPLICITLY OPINION-FOCUSED SOCIAL MEDIA SITES
Hmmm classic punk huh. I feel like the genre and sound has changed so much, but I'm still amazed that the identity has kept in tact. Truly a masterpiece of sounds and art 😄
