By that album they were just a pop group
but previous to that they were kind of punk, at least kind of with that scene.

No, live they came pretty hardcore back in the day
definately kind of poppy but there was a snarl to them.

they were punk you could take home to meet your mum and dad

the acceptable face of punk

and not those nasty sex pistols-type punks

in retrospect - yes - nu-wave disco pop punk with a phil specter / chinnichapp / moroder leanings
