But...but...Ted Leo is from New Jersey! You're not about to apologize for Ted Leo, are you? Ted Leo rocks my face!

The one thing New Jersey did RIGHT.

When he says 'killing punk' I think he's more thinking of GOOD CHARLOTTE MORE LIEK BAD CHARLOTTE AMIRITE!?
Also, lets be honest here. The Dead Kennedies were good, but seriously. Anti-Nowhere League, Cock Sparrer, UK Subs, The Damned, X-Ray Spex...the incandescent punk torch we gave you guys was pretty much returned sodden, blackened and smelling of teenaged piss. Not even The Dead Kennedies and Black Flag could do anything about it.
Oh, and Straight-Edge? WHAT THE HELL? Yeah, great idea America "Hmmm...punk...that's a bit subversive...sex and drugs and rock and roll...I KNOW! Let's remove the sex and drugs, but what to replace them with...Ah, of course, mindless violence!".
Yeah, great going.
Kai:
Weren't all those bands British though? I'm speaking AMERICAN punk. woo!
"So Fuckin' What?!"
KharBevNor:
That's what I mean. The list of decent American bands that I'd count as actually punk can be enumerated on two hands maximum. We basically got bored of punk by about '81. Pretty much all our punks either got arrested for football hooliganism, overdosed, formed goth rock bands or just got lost on the way to the bathroom, which left you guys with pretty much free reign to RAPE the genre, first by inventing straight-edge and all that associated crappy hardcore, then finishing it off with the double-whammy of pop punk.
Sythe:
I hereby apologize for the city of Springfield and Shadows Fall.
