Reply to DCGeist Your references DO NOT explicitly provide precise historical significance that punk rock was a result of 60 s garage music All it implies is that it gave it a facelift not that it was influenced by it at all And your references come from authors who themsleves have not been emersed in the vein of punk For example Roy Shuker one of the authors you quoted from is a post hippie american So of course he s going to credit his hippie origins as much as he can I AM GOING TO PROVIDE ADEQUETE REFERENCES AND PROOF YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM OR I WILL ALERT WIKI ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LEANINGS TOWARDS GRUNGE AND AGAINST PUNK BE A REAL MAN ACCEPT THEM
