If you're gonna say this, we're going to have to define "songs."
Particularly in the first wave New York and UK scenes, there was
plenty of songcraft in punk: the songs were faster, shorter and
simpler, but they were still songs, and huge numbers of them were
incredibly catchy. At what point is something no longer a 'song"?
