I judge the definition by the company it keeps.

You're in luck then - there's Richard Bridge ("many a young band, and even 20s-30s age group band producing stunning original high-volume electric music with literate lyrics and great vgision and insight"), and there's me using 'punk' as a term of approbation (one of the highest in my vocabulary).

And will that persuade you that you were wrong about '54 partisans? I'm not holding my breath. You see what you want to see, glueman - I'm just sorry that what you want to see is so grim. That Centerville story fits you like a glove.
