Bunch of non punk songs on this list.

Same!

Some of the songs are New Wave, but New Wave was really a pop version of punk. Both from the same era, though I agree that many are a real stretch to be included on a list of punk music. 🙂👍

Even some of the suggestions are more New Wave oriented. But some of them are considered pop punk. The genre classification was meant to distinguish different forms of rock in my opinion, that have unique sounds to them that differ from original rock as it aged through the years and the topics became more varied.

Some genres ae of course music that is not rooted in rock at all, but most of the new genres that have been classified, are indeed rooted in rock.

For example; Blues Rock, it stemmed from blues which was the Black equivalent to Country music. Both sing about struggles in life. Blues Rock is an extension of the black blues with a fusion of rock, because some black blues song had that infusion already as well. Country rock is the expansion & fusion into country music.

Many groups play songs from various genres.

But hey, this is all for fun. Just list the songs you like, because there are more important things that deserve to be argued. 🙂👍
