dosquatch New Punk:
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up

Old Punk:
Beat on the brat, beat on the brat,
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat!

New Punk:
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

Old Punk:
Gimme gimme shock treatment
Gimme gimme shock treatment
Gimme gimme shock treatment
I want, I want shock treatment

dosquatch Punk is rude, obnoxious, in your face. It's proactive. Of course you're fucked up! We all are. What are you going to do about it? Whine? Fuck, no! Gimme Shock Treatment!

Your girl dumped you. Big deal, everybody has had a relationship fail. What are you going to do about it? Whine? Fuck, no! Beat on the brat!

That, I think, is the biggest reason neo-punk is what it is and is not punk. Don't get me wrong, I like Dammit and Gotta Get Away, they're both very listenable songs, they just don't have teeth.
