I'm sure any music theorist could talk a lot about this. At least in "Western" influenced music, which is what all pop music is based on, there are certain music rules that have to be followed. Things like chord progressions (I - IV - V), or starting in a certain key and having to end in that key or else the music doesn't resolve itself and feels "off". I'm sure there are different rules for non-traditional types of music too, but this is what we're used to hearing.
And how many punk songs use the same 3 chords? Lots.
