Well I could just as easily say The Beatles started grunge because of Helter Skelter.
There was no punk movement in the U.S. , it`s a myth. Punk started in the UK with the Clash , Pistols etc etc , The bands in the U.S. latched onto the punk thing AFTER the success of it in the UK.The only U.S. 'punk' band to release anything before the UK movement were the Ramones and they had very little influence on British punk.
