The way I see it is, used to be if you wanted to piss off yr parents and blast them away you would put on Damged, or Minor Threat EP or The ROIR Sessions or IGWTI, you get what I'm at here. Well now all of that is commercially viable, its accepted as rock. Its mainstream music.
Granted the bands you named (youth brigade, teen idles, SOA,) aren't readily available at the mall, they are at best buy and if not, its because they didn't make as much of an impact musically. I'm not trashing their music I'm stating the reality of the situation.
