The punk bands of today totally do not understand the real meaning of punk rock. If they do, they would not do those stupid covers to make punk look cute.
From what I know, punk was, is, and will be an affront to the establishment and the system. And for them doing covers that the system endorses? Wheeeew!
I read of a very popular "punk band" of today that they have never heard of the music of the Clash, Sex Pistols and Ramones. No wonder they sound so lame! Posers!
