@sk76 punk music really began much earlier. Many early bands cited Ornette Coleman and the Plastic Ono Band as inspirations.
@teledyn sure if you stretch the definition you can go back to the 50s, and I've seen the 20s mentioned.
But I wasn't citing 1978 as any kind of start. It's just music from that year on my radar (and played on my old internet radio show) all happened to be of the like.
@sk76 yes, I figured you were being specific, I just jump at any chance to post that album 😅
You have me intrigued: 1920s? I've done Duchamp's music errata, that sort of thing?
@teledyn I really need to listen to that album again.
I think I've seen Robert Johnson called punk. It's dumb.
Punk means many things, even within the confines of the late 70s. (anti-establishment, DIY, minimalist, transgressive). There are so many examples of other art with one or more of those attributes. Doesn't mean you should call that punk.
Also, "punk rock" was coined in late 60s but the definition was variable until 1977.
