Draft:New York punk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New York punk is a punk rock scene that originated in New York City during the early to mid-1970s. Originally drawing from garage rock, glam, and proto-punk, and centered around venues such as CBGB and Max's Kansas City, the scene gave rise to influential bands like the Ramones, Television, the Patti Smith Group, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Blondie, and Talking Heads, who later contributed to the development of the early aesthetics and music associated with the punk subculture.

The early New York punk scene inspired other early punk scenes in cities like Cleveland, London and Los Angeles, and was foundational to the rise of movements in hardcore punk and alternative rock music, such as the New York hardcore scene in the early 1980s, the '90s New York punk scene[1][2] and the post-punk revival scene during the early 2000s.
