I don't have a huge story as for how I became interested in punk music, but I can at least say that the first punk album I ever heard was The Ramones, and I loved it. That's how I feel everybody should be introduced to the world of punk :D I was around 16 or 17 the first time I heard it. I loved how it stripped down rock'n'roll to its most basic and primal, and while others would usurp punk-rock for their own purposes (usually politics), I don't think anybody did punk better than The Ramones.

LMAO I didn't even see that!!! ahahahahhahaha

Actually Flux of Pink Fairies was one of the proto-punk bands along with The Velvet Underground and MC5.

^I know of the band Pink Fairies that had some members of The Deviants in it. Maybe that's what you meant?

Social Distortion
Green Day
The Distillers
30 Seconds to Mars
Agent Orange
AFI
The Offspring

those are some of the ones that started me out...

One of the first albums I ever listened to was Dookie, and I haven't been the same since hahaha

Its really not that big of a deal if you don't like them but its good that you know where the music you love now came from.

when i was about 7 years old, i stayed the night at a friends house. when we woke up MTV was on, playing a re-run of Woodstock '94. Green Day was performing When I Come Around. i had never heard (or seen) anything like that. i got Dookie, Kerplunk!, and 39 Smooth. as i got older i discovered (in no specific order) The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Unseen, Anti-Flag, Rise Against, The Offspring, The Distillers, etc.

Damn, I remember for Easter of I think 2004, or maybe 2005, I got Nirvana's Nevermind, and I've been hooked since, totally amazing band all the way!

"Punk Rock Equals Freedom!"
- Kurt Cobain

The first band that really got me hooked was Operation Ivy, in about 7th grade. The energy, the quality of writing in the lyrics, the message, I fell in love with everything about it. Still one of my favorite bands to this day.
