None of what I've listed is 'new' punk rock. The punk scene is still going strong, and bands like The Adicts who've been around since the late 70's are still playing. I saw The Adicts live just a few months ago, and Subhumans are playing a my local venue in March. Punk is still going strong, just because it isnt in the media doesnt mean it isnt still around. And I mean real punk, not these pop-rock bands claiming they're punk.

And what the hell does Kurt Cobain have to do with punk rock? He was an excellent artist, but he was grunge, not punk. He had no impact on the punk scene in the least.
