Then there's unlikely to be anything I can say to educate you. Oh, hang on... how well do you play violin?

It validated it because it created it. The music was born of an era. Teenagers weren't an actual entity until the late 50s and so many restrictions were placed on them then - the kids finally make themselves "free" in the 60s and what do they do? Smoke a spliff and make daisy chains. Woop de woo.

Punk was the first real "rage" against the machine. The music was a direct result of the feeling.
