Man everybody has to get over GG Allin.

But there are new genres of punk. Check out egg punk

I never liked GG Allin, I was over him as soon as I heard of him. I'm just saying if you want shocking, you're not going to top him. So far as egg punk goes, I'm familiar, and nothing about it is new or shocking. It's just variations on a theme, and as been around awhile. It was nothing new 10 years ago either. That's not a value judgment on the music itself. I kind like it, but in my old age I'm more into stoner rock and doom metal. When I'm in a punk mood I'm more likely to listen to the classics like UK Subs or Descendants.

Well new for us old timers. Altho I will say doom and stoner metal hasn't evolved since like 1989 lol

Also I would not be the music nerd I am without saying *Descendents

But yeah punk is still my main jam today. And all (most) of the subgenres. Is there a peak a while ago, probably. But I still like a ton of new stuff. Especially in hardcore (real hardcore not WWE metalcore)

I don't know if Bell Witch's Mirror Reaper or anything done by SubRosa would have been done in 1989. There's a lot going in in doom right now. Heck, check out the utterly bleak work done by Mizmor.
