I'm a punk rock prom queen

I love the same of sub-categorization that occurs in punk rock music. I was in HMV today and I was reading all the little descriptions they on the dividers. Some of the descriptions look like a random assortment of adjectives like indie, emo, metalcore, OI!!! (always with three exclamations), legends and/or pioneers. This wasn't the strangest part either. What I thought was odd all the references that went nowhere. If wanted to know what the Descendants sounded like you told to see the ALL divider. All the ALL divider said was "ex-Descendants." The Clash said, "See Joe Strummer." WHAT?!?!? They couldn't think of anything to say about THE CLASH? Operation Ivy said, "See Rancid." The Rancid divider? "Transplants, Ex-Op Ivy." ARGH!!!!

So, I know that the Hives are "Swedish Indie-Punk" or that TurboNegro is "Scandinavian punk rock n' roll" but nothing about important bands. Do they assume that everyone in the punk section just knows about these bands? I don't know 'cause on the Fugazi divider it said, "Hardcore Pioneers." It makes no sense to me. None at all.

Oh well... I guess I'm just not that punk rock 'cause I just didn't care all that much and that's so not punk.
