"Also sorry but the political messages of the punk movement and not just the sonic/attitude influences did in fact come predominately from the UK sect. Their influence was sort of the catalyst for punk to come and though its quality is debatable you can't really overstate the singular nature of Never Mind the Bollocks in igniting the flame under dozens of young bands."
Okay so what? Never Mind the Bollocks would have never happened without the bands I just mentioned having come along in the states. The content of punk has nothing to do with who founded it. So maybe UK bands were the first to have a lot of (overbearing if you ask me) political tones in there version of punk. Does that disprove what I just said about USA actually beginning the punk movement? Nope
