You then say "the public didn't know about it though"

My response: who cares?

If I'm gonna talk about Australia I'm repping Birthday Party and don't even get me started on New Zealand
But that's the point. Punk didn't really start anywhere. It was a series of tenuously, at best, connected scenes that were all jiving on Iggy Pop and Velvet Underground. If an American scene had the first band then that's really just a technicality, cause the whole **** show that was the punk movement started in Britain.
