Punk rock is a style of music that originated in 1964 in New York City at an underground club called The Dom. This little known club at the time was the catalyst that started punk on the road to what it is today (History Punk).
Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols was quoted saying; “Punk was created as a cure for boredom.” (Punk History). He sure has one thing correct; one certainly can not be bored while listening to punk rock. The hard core guitar rhythm, slashing bass line, and hard fast drum beat make punk music that one must dance to. Punk rock is a style of music that has recently started its comeback. Punk rock from the past has affected many of today’s top artists and this has had a dramatic affect on the today’s music industry. Although there is considerable influence from past bands that does not mean there has not been a considerable change in the area of punk rock itself.
The Stooges are a punk band formed in New York by punk great Iggy Pop. ... This did not discourage them pursuing their dream of being a great punk rock band though. ... This was the start of mainstream punk (Punk History).
In 1975 the punk scene shifted from New York to Detroit, where it stayed for the next 15 years (Punk History). ... This was the spark that generated the British Punk frenzy (Chord Wonders).
