Is punk rock dead??

Well, the Clash are pretty much dead...so under your definitions, yeah, I suppose it's dead.

The Adicts and The Dickies are still performing, if that's any consolation.

depends on what you're talking about to. If you mean 70's style punk than yeah its dying out, thats inevitable. but punk rock as whole? probably not and probably never will.

Punk Rock didn't die, it just grew up. There will always be bands who will pay homage to the greats, subhumans, Dead kennedys etc..., There are loads of punk rock bands out there..,LOADS. All you need to do is seek them out. Try Myspace, yeah, remember that place? I've gotten to know quite a few bands, rather personally through that site. Things, like last F.m and all that other jazz (music networking) is the way to go. As much as i hate to admit it...,piracy really does keep many bands from getting well known. So get to kno your bands and go see them perform live. Punk rock has always been about the live performances anyway, so what are you wasting time listening to them through headphones, ya muppet?

I think Punk has just evolved into a more blue collar genre.

It will never die, maybe the fad this year is not punk rock. But there will come a time that punk rock will be soon the in thing.
