Scary thought

[yendi]

Ask the average "punk" today to name a punk rock girl, and s/he is much more likely to say Avril Lawhatsername than Poly Styrene.

Times change. every Generation needs its own punk that is what their parents DONT LIKE. Which is why Avril is so big. BEcause all those ex-punker parents can't stand her.

Personaly, she ain't half bad and is no where near punk. You want punk you want the holy trinity:

Sex Pistols, Ramones and The Clash - not always in that order.

Whenever the subject of punk names comes up, I can't help thinking of that old one-hit-wonder song "88 Lines about 44 Women"... Bobbi joined a new wave band and changed her name to Bobbi Sox

Not quite punk, I know, but an inescapable association...

I loved that song (the New Wave was just as important to me as Punk). There's also the presidential version over at http://www.brunching.com/88lines.html

Sheena is, a punk rocker.

Patti Smith counts, right?

I hope so.

It would actually help if she sounded at least a little punk. As it is, she's Britney with more clothes on.

Does Cristina from Boss Hog count?

Exene Cervenka does.
