Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself) ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and distributing them through informal channels.

By late 1976, bands such as the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world, and it became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive styles of clothing and adornment and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies.

I can't argue the dumb comment, but I would say that The MC5 or Iggy and The Stooges predate the Ramones and could be considered punk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. The Ramones were the first band to be called punk in a magazine, but it doesn't mean they were the first punk band. To me, punk is just as much attitude as it is music. Some people consider one of my favorite bands, Motorhead to be punk.

yeah, she is the absolute worst lip sync in recorded history, but think how much cocaine it took to get that bad and she lived to tell about it (look for #^&#^&#^&#^& clarks new years eve, she just stopped and stared at the camera for twenty seconds and then walked off stage with the track playing right through and the band kept "playing" with their eyes all bugged out)



actually, it's The Cahs (and they were wicked awesome!)
