Nicely summarized state of current punk movement:

Sentimental Punkers and the Back-to-Basics Kind: "A crowd formed around some menacing-looking fellows in combat boots who were torturing young music fans with a pole. But it's not what you think: the men were marines, and believe it or not, punks were standing in line for the opportunity to do chin-ups.

A military recruiting station might once have seemed like the antithesis of punk rock, but these days punk isn't really a rallying cry for the antisocial, it's a hobby for high-energy teenagers. And the marines offered these kids more or less the same thing that the histrionic emo bands did: a chance to blow off steam."
