Exactly. Yet people mosh to it? I think they made it on the warped tour before too, but I stopped going to that a long time ago. Last one I went to had the Vandals & Social Distortion.

The kids moshing to that crap are the kids who are being "punk" to either be "cool" or piss their parents off.

...
70's - KISS

I presume that you're too young to actually remember the '70s. Sure KISS was popular, but disco was king. I'd say The Bee Gees were probably the most popular band of that particular decade.

Infected by Thethe

Wow, I thought I was the only one that knew that song. I used to have a radio show on WDOM when I went to Providence College and I played it a lot. That and "I can't Break Away" by Big Pig, 'Balloon Man' by Robin Hitchcock and the Egyptians, & 'Air Head' by Thomas Dolby.
Ah, the memories. :'( (Now I have to dig out the CDs I made from ten-year-old cassettes and listen again.)

More good stuff!
The The had some great albumns in the 90's too - Check out Dusk, and if you like Hank Williams (heck, even if you don't), check out Hanky Panky - some very interesting interpretations of some Hank classics.
-------------------
As for some of the other points raised.....(IMHO)
Blink 182 is not a PUNK band, nor are they a GRUNGE band - they are a LOUSY Band.
The reason that 80's "Hair Bands" are succsessfully touring now is the nostalgia factor. - Hell the last Motley Crue record I bought was Shout at The Devil, People are going to relive their youth, not to see muscial legends.
Pop music has and likely will remain largely disposable, with a few gems here and there. Britney and Christina are the Stacy Q / Samantha Fox of the now. Wait a while and the next contestants will be up for their shot.
And it has been my observation that 15 year olds with a few beers in them will pretty much mosh to anything ::)

" CUM on Feel the Noise "
