RE: We don't need your technical eliteism!!! Original Punk Rock blasts onto the scene [Metal Tree: 6]
Yeah I know who "The Cars" were as MTV loved to play the shit out of them when MTV was still music videos all day. :) One style that spun up at the same time was New Wave and some acts kind of were Punk or New Wave or Both. There seemed to be some cross pollination between those genres.
The song by the Modern Lovers was as punk as it got, I think and that song came out in 72...Punk has been around for a while!
Yeah my research seems to indicate The Stooges and Iggy Pop may have done that type of sound first since they came out in 1969.
