You can also add prog rock, pyschedelic rock, britpop and post punk to that list, all of which have had some kind of impact on american music...And while punk argubably began in the states with The Ramones, it exploded in the UK with The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Buzzc0cks, The Damned...Thats where it became a worldwide phenomenon.

Plus, most of the 'punk' bands which we hear over here from America are actually the 'pop-punk' bands that you guys so despise (yes, most Brits would probably say Greenday, Sum41 and Blink182 represented american punk). Whatever the 'real' american punk music is, it never really gets over here.
