"Now, Mr. Jones, 30, and his wife, Alicia, 27, are among an emerging group of people in their 20s and 30s who have chosen farming as a career. Many shun industrial, mechanized farming and list punk rock, Karl Marx and the food journalist Michael Pollan as their influences. The Joneses say they and their peers are succeeding because of Oregon’s farmer-foodie culture, which demands grass-fed and pasture-raised meats."

I know. No, you're right too. I was expecting… I stretched the definition some, I guess, just to make the joke. Though, I would argue that they are pretty "punk," in the descriptive meaning, more than the subgenre categorization meaning. And, you know, we always get so twisted up and tied down with the genre distinction stuff. (Not that that's not fun, in its way—but I often just opt out and use terms liberally.) God, I love the Bad Seeds. Also, that Plague song is so incredibly awesome!
Agreed on all points. I think that the more we, as music fans, listeners, critics, etc., get hung up on "subgenre categorization meanings" and "genre distinctions", the less we allow genres of music to advance, and we get stuck with endless throwback artists.
That's true. And musical artists themselves generally seem to rail against the making of such distinctions. Jay-Z likes to say, "There are only two kinds of music: good music and bad music."
Do you think those artists say that mostly because they genuinely believe in advancing their chosen genre or are they just shoehorning themselves into a tradition/legacy that they want to be a part of?
@ Bry, which goes to prove, the other great principle of music, that everyone is a beggar or stealer (That quote about music comes from Duke Ellington).

Record Collectors Are Pretentious Foodies.
Also, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is punk rock? (Sorry to nitpick. Had to.)
