What is your problem? How do you know what I (or other Deadheads) enjoy?
I haven't seen any postings to this net by Deadheads putting down punk.
In fact I would guess that a lot of Deadheads DO enjoy punk. I kind of
like it, although the punk "scene" doesn't appeal to me. The Dead
themselves were quoted as saying that they really enjoyed punk, and felt
a certain kinship for it, as it has its roots in the same primal 
emotions as their own music (Robert Hunter, Relix interview).

You have an attitude problem. Your attack was unprovoked, uncalled-for,
and offensive. Deadheads may tend to be opinionated, but we are the last
people to put someone down for doing what they enjoy. So, please find 
another target for your belligerence. We Deadheads don't deserve it.
