If you're shouting "death or glory" but it sounds almost like elevator rock music

You're doing it wrong

Spanish Bombs is the catchiest song of all time

This is like five different genres in one. Debating whether it's still punk or not or what kind of punk it is, is only splitting hairs and not sufficient anyway.

it definitely has a punk vibe to it, but is much more sophisticated than say, The Clash or Never Mind, therefore it's post-punk. Seems pretty simple to me.

Also "Train in Vain" is waaaay more catchy than "Spanish Bombs" IMO.

Post-punk is in itself a strange term. Says anything and nothing at the same time, hardly any real definition.

lol @ cygnatti. just because it's catchy doesn't mean it's pop rock. when it was released london calling has been a brave album (by punk standards) that helped make the genre artsy

Don't know. Kind of not slick enough for that and it doesn't really feel like it's targeted at mainstream necessarily. Coldplay is pop rock. And there's still quite a bit between this and Coldplay.

If it would have been released 20 years later, it would have been just termed alt rock probably, cause almost everything that is rock and not clearly defined gets that label.

there's as much or less pop rock here than there is ska, reggae, r&b etc. Punk however is all over the place, from the attitude (rawness) to the method (simplicity) to the lyrics (anti-capitalism). If you don't hear it I suggest getting a few classic punk records and only then going back to London.

"It's definitely catchy enough (at times) to be pop rock."
catchy =/= pop. also punk has been catchy from the beginning.
