      Idk if that’s elitism. It’s more calling a spade a spade. Punk at its core is about recapturing the simplicity and energy of early pre-british invasion rock. That doesn’t really lend itself to ballads and concept albums. It’s not about denigrating green day so much as finding a definition that fits them better.
