I've decided to compare an old Casualties song with a new one to see if there is a difference in how much they say punk, punx, punk rock, and spikey hair/dyed hair/hair anything.
For The Punx(1)
You always put us down
because we spike our hair(2)
bondage trousers and dyed hair(3)
I'll never change my ways
Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me what to wear
I'm gonna do it as I please
That's a way of life
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to wear
Oi Oi we're the punx(4) of today
Spikey hair(5) drunk punk(6)
and we're punx(7) here to stay
Who let these egotistical bastards
get into our scene
Preaching politics telling me how to be
They want to be preaching anarchy
but I'll break their rules
I was never part of it
Don't tell me what to say
How to be or what to wear
Oi Oi we're the punx(8) of today
Spikey hair(9) drunk punk(10)
and we're punx(11) here to stay
It's a way of life, never change our ways
It's a way of life for the punx(12) of today
We play for you we play for everyone
Power to the punx(12) until the day we die
never ever change your ways
drunk punx(13) of today
Oi Oi and we're here to stay
Spikey hair(14) drunk punx(15)
Oi! drunk punx(16) of today
puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk(17)
never ever change your ways
drunk punx(18) of today
Oi Oi and we're here to stay
Spikey hair(19) drunk punx(20)
Oi! drunk punx(21) of today

wow 21 refernces in old school Casualties. Let's see how new-school compares
Punk(1) Rock
Comitted from the beginning
There is no fucking turning back
Forgotten youth, just wastes away
Always forward, never looking back
Breaking all fucking barriers
This street noise is all we have
Fury and fucking anger
No more rules for the punx(2)
Fuck you- no rules made for me
fuck you- I do as I please
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(3)
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(4)
So straight edge is the way
I go out and drink all day
Tell me to shut up and drink
I'll stay sober and eat my beans
If being vegan is the way
I'll eat a hotdog in your face
So you hate the PC crew
I write a peace song just for you
Fuck you- no rules made for me
fuck you- I do as I please
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(5)
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(6)
So you hate my spikey hair(7)
I'll grow a mohawk(8) and make you stare
All those rules you've created
Won't force the kids just for your sake
So get it through your fucking head
It's up to you what to eat and wear
Militant close-minded fools
You're the church and schools of the youth
Fuck you- no rules made for me
fuck you- I do as I please
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(9)
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(10)
To many rules
Fuck their rules
Too many rules
Fuck their rules
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(11)
Make some noise
Piss 'em off
Fuck 'em up
That's Punk rock(12)
Fuck you- no rules made for me
Fuck you- I do as I please
Fuck you- no rules made for me
Fuck you- I do as I please

Hmmm, 21/12 for old-school. It seems like that was the exact same song except the first was written with a kindergarden level of writing and the second with a grade 4 level. It appears they are maturing in their old age.
