In the late 70s there was a clear divide between Punk and Heavy Metal, punks hated the metal fraternity and vice-versa. Both genres may have been rock but musically were completely different, let's face it Iron Maiden sounded nothing like a punk band.
Some punk was a bit lightweight, but some of the other stuff like The Damned's first album was high energy punk rock influenced by the Stooges.
Nirvana were a rock band but their sound was more rooted in Indie rock/Grunge and a million miles away from the likes of Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
Nothing lightweight about this punk band from 1977
