First it was "nobody cares about The Cure anymore"

Then you talk about Crustpunk, a subgenre of punk, as being a significant underground movement which validates my point that punk doesn't die but it takes many forms

Flies right in the face of your idea that punk was just Sex Pistols doesn't it?
Elphenor you are now mischaracterizing my own words. You lost the argument along time ago. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Good I'm glad you stopped. People can read it and decide for themselves.

Sex Pistols imported it for the UK audience
If it wasn't for the Sex Pistols punk would have died cause nobody cared about CBGB's. It was a tiny scene with no real circuit of clubs that would have them and therefore no way to get any exposure until punk and new wave hit in Britain.

And Malcolm McLaren only imported the clothes. Both scenes were pretty much ignorant of how the other sounded when they were first developing.

Think of it more like a Hollywood movie

This was true for even the classic rock bands of the 70's
So you just missed the point completely.

No. You end up with a sound you like.

It doesn't matter if it started in the US, cause Britain is what made it a thing anyone cared about.

Whether or not Johnny Rotten heard anything from CBGB is really hard to know, but I find it basically unbelievable that he wasn't into American Proto Punk
Have you actually listened to UK punk? It was by and large revved up pub rock until post-punk evolved, and New York was basically arty pop.

This tells me you have no idea what your talking about and are jumping to conclusions. Anyone who has any idea how to write a song know that most top 40 hits are extremely simplistic and easy to imitate. Most artists find it insulting the amount of money going into such a simple song.

Of course. But you're diverting away from my point that artists in all fields do whatever they want. It's not just punk and indie.

Ok. You're missing the point. And this is pointless.
