Each week, Val Haller, a music-obsessed baby boomer and the founder of the Web site Valslist.com, matches tracks from her generation to those of her 20-something sons’ generation.

My grandfather would say, “I’m feeling a bit punk.”

My father would say, “That kid is a punk.”

My husband would say, “Remember that punk band the Ramones?”

My son would say, “You’ve been punked.”

The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition opens to the general public on May 9: “Punk: From Chaos to Couture.”

Punk music is neither my favorite nor my forte.
