   I started listening to punk in my sophomore year, 1977. Stiv Bators lived in Youngstown/Girard Ohio just two towns (15 miles) over. He was about 12 years older but I met him through an older cousin. This was Stiv Bators as the lead singer for the Dead Boys that same year at a night club in NYC called GBGB.
   
   
   
   
   
   By the time I got out of the army in 83 it was pretty much dead between MTV and shit like The Clash.
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   77 is when real punk started to die off and it got more Gothic while Punk itself started going towards a more polished corporate sound aka New Wave which was heavily Synth Pop
   
   Punk was before my time sort of but a friend of mine in 7th grade turned me onto it. CBGB and Max's Kansas city where very Iconic while in San Francisco we had Target Video in the mission and the more famous Mabuuhay Gardens and across the bay The Keystone in Berkeley. and of Course Winterland closed down after Hosting Sex Pistols as its final concert.
   
   I got into more of the Metal Scene then started enjoying Goth later on in my late teens. Bands like Chameleons UK, Echo and the Bunnymen, Tone on Tails (after Daniel Ash broke off with Peter Murphy) but in Highschool around I was more into commercial shit like 70s and 80s Progressive and listening to Gothic because it had the same experimental Vibe. heavy into synth but less Bubblegum pop.

   Moron, punk rock didn't start until around 74 as an NYC subculture that never spread to Britain until 76. But according to you it started to die the year after it started in the UK. What were you in 77 like 11?

   I know when it started. I said it started to die out. It was changing. nothing last forever.. its a constant evolution. the Look of Punk was different in NYC in 1974 and it wasn't until the British who got involved in it that turned it into pins, needle piercings and baby pins and mohawks (Sid Viscous had just watched Taxi Driver and it influenced him according to John Lydon)
   
   I am aware of it and Proto Punk argued by Ziggy Pop and some claim MC5 Kick out the Jams motha fucka.
   
   I've heard all the arguments. then there was Afro Punk like Bad Brains and Living Colors etc

   Another argument is The Ramones were trying to be Garage 60s and a twist on Doo-Op bands but some dude coined them "Punks" as in Garage Punk. thats how the Genre title came about

   That would be OK but for the fact that you can't remember shit correctly once you have read it.
