In Reply to: Yeah, but punk, as dynamic as it was, was not really much about music..was it? posted by Elizabeth on July 10, 2012 at 17:40:21:
What were the Sex Pistols, Clash, Adverts, Ramones, Dead Boys, Damned, Suicide Commandos, Buzzcocks, Undertones? They were all bands. They were all started by kids who were sick of bloated corporate rock and wanted some music that reflected their reality and gave a voice to their feelings.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "not much real music involved." Punk was an explosion of music! For a while it seemed like every other kid who heard the Sex Pistols or Ramones started a band. There were hundreds of albums and thousands of singles released all over the world. There was even a punk band in Red China.
