Everything after it was kind of a disaster though. Although I do have a soft spot for Indestructible.

Life Won't Wait and 2000 were fun!

Easily top 5 punk album of all time.

Not punk. Punk is about being bad at your instrument and looking ugly and being the underdog and still creating a community. When Dookie came out, every highschool and college kid was lined up to buy it, it had constant airplay, and was blasting in every classroom and dorm room. That's not punk: that is 100% mainstream pop. Which is Green Day in a nutshell. Commidified dissent x100.

I was talking about And out come the wolves, and still punk to me. Pixies is punk, replacements is still punk to me. No need to be a purist.

College Alternative is not Punk.

I went to Pixies concerts when I was at BU in the 80's. They were a rich white kid college band.

Punk was a very specific movement.

It's like saying, "Yeah, impressionism is same as Cubism." No. It isn't. Don't rewrite history because it suits your invented personality.
