Punkabilly and psycobilly
In my opinion there is no such thing as punkabilly. The term 'punk'is suffice.

Isn't the mix of PUNK and ROCKABILLY, PSYCHOBILLY?--69.234.104.80 21:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

If you look at the psychobilly page, you'll see this - "The genre is also characterized by lyrical references to horror films, violence, exploitation films, lurid sexuality and other topics generally considered taboo, sometimes presented in a comedic, tongue-in-cheek fashion." So punkabilly is a genre that doesn't have lyrics as a defining factor. --Dayn 16:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Social Distortion
Social Distortion is Punkabilly? Huh?--!!!!

Cleanup
I cleaned this up to meet Wikipedia standards, even though this article was recently deleted through the proper deletion process. Although this article has more substance than the last version (which was only one sentence), I'm still not sure it convincingly distinguishes Punkabilly as a different genre from Psychobilly. In fact, some of the bands are listed in both articles.Spylab 23:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)Spylab

Clothing and gender
In the subculture description all the clothes are hairstyles are male-gendered -> is their a related female-gender punkabilly dress style? 24.155.229.81

Punkabilly vs Psychobilly
Hello, people. I think this article should either be merged into psychobilly or this article should more clearly set the difference between psychobilly and punkabilly. // Najoj 16:21, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I would prefer to merge this article with psychobilly. It seems that the definitive difference between the two is merely lyrical subject matter, with psychobilly bands tending to write songs about horror, sexuality, etc. and punkabilly bands not. Of course lyrical content is not a prerequisite of a genre, and there's no reason to assume that psychobilly bands have to use this subject matter (nor that any band that uses such subject matter is, by definition, psychobilly). "Punkabilly" seems like a made-up term and I have never seen it anywhere in print, and I do a lot of reading on punk rock and related genres (it's my masters thesis topic). I'm working on improving the psychobilly article, and the information from here could easily be merged into that one with some discussion of the different lyrical themes used by different bands. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Article merged with Psychobilly
I have merged this article with psychobilly, per the numerous comments here to that effect and the fact that this is a poorly-written, unsourced stub article. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
