Punk isn't a genre, it's a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.
The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.
Words can be multiple things.
Exactly, many genres of music are tied to a subculture and an aesthetic.
That's not really what I was getting at.
The 1975 is headed up by a white supremacist. That's the furthest thing from punk.
If you've heard their work, and understood who wrote it, you would know that Matty Healy is not a white supremacist. He's just a fucking idiot with a shit sense of humor. Kinda tired of people framing people as extremists when they made a few problematic remarks on a couple podcasts at worst.

Yeah fuck you and your actually it's just some stupid comments made on some podcasts. He admitted to masturbating to black women being brutalized.
They're pop or maybe alternative. Definitely not punk. And kissing a fellow band member doesn't make you a punk
