I honestly never thought I would talk to someone who would actually own and listen to their albums. Why would you do that? Are you a masochist? The 'music' is just awful, the shows are (at least they used to be) amazing.
But the 'music' is just so bad. Why do you do that to yourself?
Isn't that basically all punk, though? Inasmuch as punk still exists, that is. If you just buy the albums, you're simultaneously engaging in self-abuse and subsidizing the people smart enough to go to the shows, where actual enjoyment is to be had. And, to the extent you let on that this is what you do, you're identifying yourself as an oblivious trend-follower who confuses the trappings of someone else's broken idea of "cool" with anything that actually matters - the musical-taste equivalent of The Office's Michael Scott.
