AugustusAudax made the edit to The Offspring, changing the band's genre from punk rock to rock on May 30, stating "Changed "punk" rock band to just rock band." [1] Some time between then and June 21, an editor changed it back to punk rock, which is the genre supported by sources and most referenced within the article itself. At that point, an anonymous edit, from 2604:3d09:a77f:fda0:78be:d011:f004:b29d, changed it back to rock. [2] I reverted it myself and shortly after, the same editor reverted it back to rock, stating "JacobESTjalma is dumb to put that because punk rock is already stated in genres." In my next revert, I explained that being stated elsewhere in the article does not mean that it shouldn't be stated in the lead. [3] Six days later, AugustusAudax's confirmed sock account, Key of G Minor, made two consecutive edits, changing it back to rock band and making the false statement "consensus is that they’re a ROCK band" and "I’m sick of this bs." [4] When I explained that their statement about consensus was false and that they should discuss on the talk page, they did. Over the next three weeks or so, the RfC comments supported the genre staying punk rock. Ten days after their initial RfC, Key of G Minor was blocked by Bbb23 as a sock puppet of AugustusAudax. Now, attempts to change it back to rock band are happening again from an IP address similar to the one making the earlier edits. Those addresses are 2604:3d09:a77f:fda0:d9be:4bd:3b77:65de [5] and 2604:3d09:a77f:fda0:70c1:4b42:5ba8:a121, the latter using the familiar argument of "Punk rock is already stated in genres section."
