  Punk-Rock Theme Songs

  From my experience, I have come to the conclusion that Tv shows with a punk-rock theme song as the introduction are 99% of the time bad. I currently do not know of any TV show with a punk-rock intro that is a good show, but I just left the 1% difference for the possibility that, someday, there may be a decent show with a punk theme song. A punk intro, to me, is also a sign of trying to appeal as a "cool" show for teens and white kids. Therefore presenting themselves as trying too hard. I mean, sure, it may be that they just want to keep up with the current times-but seriously, if they wanted to do that, they would choose a song that would remain timeless as to look back at the show as a classic. A TV show's theme song does present the time period of the show, but they fail to realize that punk-rock has been around for over a decade and does not present a specific time period and will not present a specific time period apart from the Ramones in the 80's. People are going to look back at these shows years from now and say, "Oh man, I remember Phil of the Future from back in the 80's-or was it the 90's?" If someone ever does come across a TV show with a punk-rock theme song that they think is a classic, then please tell me. Or how about this....
  
  I AM GONNA START A SEGMENT ON MY PROFILE CALLED "PUNK-ROCK OR BUST"....I ENCOURAGE THOSE OF YOU TO SEND ME NAMES OF SHOWS THAT HAVE PUNK-ROCK THEME SONGS AND TELL ME IF THEY ARE CLASSICS OR NOT. THE SHOWS YOU SEND ME I WILL POST ON MY PROFILE.
