	I think you might be able to define a band as being punk or wavpop
	just by the name of the band.

	Bands with "offensive" (to some) and/or "tough" sounding names like
	SEX PISTOLS, DEAD KENNEDYS, RAMONES, etc. are classed as punk.

	Bands with "tech" names like DEVO and TALKING HEADS bring to mind
	wavpop.

	But who really cares how we categorize music anyway.  To abuse a
	famous saying -- "Music (Beauty) is in the mind (eye) of the 
	listener (beholder)".
