When I think of punk, I think of much more hardcore music than the Clash or the Ramones (two bands I like btw).

Fine. But then you don't really know what punk music is. Google "history of punk" and those two bands will almost certainly be in the first paragraph of whatever you find.

I think of Green Day as much more "influenced" than "influential."
