Punk is not a genre, and this is news.
"My apologies to those who might not consider this to be punk news, but this was an amazing band, whose lyrics were frequently clever and political as with many traditional punk band. Regardless, I'll cut to the proverbial chase: Megadeth has broken up. In case your musical tastes are too narrow to allow for this, you must realize that this is a tragedy, and that this is a band that will be sorely missed. However, Dave Mustaine suffered a career ending injury which triggered the break up of one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands to grace the good earth."
Megadeth was more metal than most of you kids will ever be.
