“Punk changed” certain things for certain people, I guess

But you dont need to guess. You're always right.

For people who think punk changed things, it'll potentially sound like anything.

See how wrong I was compared to you.

Yay, Jan, you're right again, as always, because you're always right. Thanks for putting us all right.

yup.
im lucky i still have toes.

I think starting with 10 on each foot was what helped there.

By the time Punk reached America it was already over in the UK. 15 minutes of infamy in England but Americans still ride that dead horse.

The Future of Music will have to be a super hot semi-nude androgenous clone created in a space-lab standing silently under flashing lasers with music consisting of one steady sub note at the lowest tone a human can experience, and one repeating snare that is so piercing your eardrums can only acknowledge its existence a dozen times.
I mean.., hopefully right?

Well, I'm obviously not going to know anything about it, because I'm from the UK, not Cincinnati, the most pivotal place in the world for post-analysis of the cultural impact of anything. So there's no way I would suggest that the fairly transient 1976-1979 windows of 'punk the musical genre' wasn't the delimiting impact that 'punk the ethos' (or whatever it is that's going to be absolutely wrong to call it) was actually a longer, continuous evolution from that.
I'd obviously be completely wrong in suggesting that the immediate impact of that lasted at least through new wave and post-punk, synthpop, and all that and into the 'indie' era up and beyond (at least up until the point where Nirvana were accidentally responsible for turned it into a genre name instead of an indication of distribution channels).
I mean, I'd be completely wrong to propose one single example, eg Factory Records on the basis of, the influence their bands had, the influence their designs had, the influence the mere existence of the Hacienda had. It'd be even more wrong to suggest that that one single manifestation of that 'punk ethod' that doesnt exist managed to briefly wrest the epicentre of the music industry out of London and into Manchester.
You probably want someone who's always right to lay out what actually happened.

punk never died here, it may have changed its clothes a little, but have you heard much early rave music?
obviously, if you mean "punk rock" then still, didnt really die, just wasnt as mainstream, or was replaced by two tone and new wave, both of which grew from the punk ethos.

this is the problem discussing punk, some people think its one thing, other its another.
to me its a way of being, not a music genre.
the fact we are all producing our own music! punk!
