How am I off the mark?
Unless you are going to say it all goes back to cavemen banging drums.
I am talking about why we call a section of this forum punk. We wouldn't be if it wasn't for the pistols. If they didn't exist we would not have a section called punk at all. proto punk as the name suggests comes about after punk was established of there would be nothing to be proto about. And the bands in the US in the 70's were nowhere near punk in fashion or politics they were not political just junkies who wanted to be like Jagger and Richards what Rotten despised. No politics in their music at all. nothinbg for the kids to latch onto or shout about. The US bands were just in it for money and drugs. The Jam were more MOD like the Who (two of the best bands ever) but punk is called punk and exists today in forum names and as a genre because of the sex pistols. Why don't people ever accept the reality? Back up your arguements guys if you comment so I can tear your arguements apart!!! Great forum and debate. Keep it coming.
