I do not find it hard to believe they were stupid.

I don't think they are stupid. They didn't strike me as stupid anyway. They struck me as little self-satisfied asshole scrubs.

That same day in the afternoon I did sound for a band in the same stage Superchunk played the night before (Mogi), asshole soundguy wouldn't let me use the 421 on toms because he claimed gringo drummer hit it! I missed both shows due to working, btw.

I would argue that what they do/are isn't necessarily all that punk rock, but for the sake of argument, let's say you're right. That ignores the fact there are a whole lot of shitty punk rock bands out there, and in my mind those guys are down there with The Plasmatics or The Exploited rather than, say, The Ramones or The Minutemen. Saying something is punk rock is not in and of itself a compliment, and as much as punk rock means to me, let's stop pretending that it's all beautiful and virtuous.
