Punk can often feel exclusionary. More than 20 years ago, Jawbreaker asked, "who's punk, what's the score?," and it can still feel like a big old game, where it's impossible to measure up to some platonic ideal of purity. The idea of what punk is has, of course, expanded with time. It's had a ton of hyphenates attached to it, so now we're at the point where punk can encompass pretty much everything. As it should! But if you think we've moved past that mode of punk as gatekeeper, look no further than the comment section on this very site where, from time to time, a band is described as punk and some random comes through and cries, "What? Surely not them."
