hmm new punk equals girls and school, yeah pretty much, personally I don't think the Misfit's are really that punk at all. I mean like I said Punk means counter-culture and that other stuff I wrote that I forgot already, but the point is
Bad Religion is punk yet the have a lot more of a classic rock sound, but are very rebellious and there counter culture to religion.
The Misfits is not punk, they sing about freaking horror movies, cool but if anything it's just gothy rock singing about horror movies is also not rebellious are counterculture I mean sure they play their instruments like most punk artist do, but that's not hard to do that doesn't make you punk, most people would say that the misfits are punk but not me and if there not, punk pop/punk bands definetly should have the word punk in there genre name, but sadako of girth put it very well they are manufactured bands their image and personna are all genrically created.
