Punk barely even existed as a movement though, it was come and gone in the blink of an eye and would be all but forgotten if not for the fact that it was the music of choice for a group of people who grew up to become the next generations music journalists. To claim punk had any major impact is really like claiming The Stone Roses changed the face of music. It's the story we are told, not the reality of what happened.

Stone Roses were/are fucking shit.

I happen to disagree, but I was using them as an example of how the impact of something can be massively over stated, so it doesn't really matter for the point I was making.

No, they really are/were shit.

I learnt long ago to enjoy your opinions on music for what they are.
Passionately wrong.

With odd exceptions.
