Sex Pistols and The Clash's music sounded much different than your Ramones, your Buzzcocks, and your Rezillos. Take that what you will but from the very start of punk there were three main directions bands where taking and those were the pop direction of Ramones, the arty direction of Wire, and the visceral direction of Sex Pistols. There's some breathing room but for the most part all the bands followed this generally.
