Blondie were one of the first bands of the CBGB's New York punk scene, which was an odd space for punk. It was a bunch of bands not bothered with sounding anything alike so you ended up with bands playing around the same time who got grouped into proto-punk, punk, and post-punk. But Blondie were definitely... well who the **** cares cause ultimately they got called new wave. Even though they existed before new wave, but... who cares. "Heart of Glass" is most definitely not what anyone not trying to make a point would call punk or even post punk so as far as I'm concerned it's evidence of my point.
