a hard-to-classify group of bands and performers who laid the foundation for and inspired punk rock's development in the mid-1970s. These acts sported tough guy looks, rebellious attitudes, the longest hair in the neighborhood, sometimes simple 3-chord arrangements and/or feedback and garage band aesthetics. Some of these acts were called "punk rock" by critics in the late 60s and early 70s. That label later was applied to later bands of the mid-70s, starting with the Ramones. Elvis Presley may be the original "proto-punk" rocker. He wore denim and leather, wore his hair long for the 50s, swiveled his hips provacatively, rode motorcycles, sneered when he sang, and more. The term "proto-punk" wasn't used until after punk itself came into its own.
Here are some examples of proto-punk acts:
The Kinks
The Who
Velvet Underground
The Stooges
The MC5
? and the Mysterians
The Seeds
New York Dolls
Roxy Music
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Rolling Stones
... and many more.

Get the proto-punk mug.quite simply, punk rock is a restoration of the original rebellious youth attitude and simple fundamentals of expession in rock'n'roll music that was first expressed in the 50s by the giants like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis (especially in his personal life), and others, as opposed to the clean cut image of some of the pop stars that were dominant at the time. In the mid-60s there was the Velvet Underground who influenced punk by their lyrical themes and feedback and more. Then came what are now considered to be the protopunk bands, who took the practice of pushing the envelope that British bands like the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Kinks initiated to even greater lengths in terms of sound, image and rebellious attitude (the Stooges, the MC5, and many other bands). The term "punk rock" possibly was first used by rock critic Dave Marsh in a rockmag in the early 70s to describe the sound of ? and the Mysterians. An independent movement in rock developed as a reaction because the music had become corporate, pompous, bloated, pretentious, artsy-fartsy, and along with Top 40 pop, just plain cruddy and stupid. Bands started playing their songs short, to the point, loud, and fast, often a three-chord arrangement in accordance with the idiom KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). The name "punk rock" was applied to this independent movement in rock, the movement was and still a rebellion against the prevailing fads and trends. It has greatly influenced popular music in the 80s decade and beyond, spawning nascent movements like speed metal, new wave, postpunk, grunge and more in terms of style, sound, image, attitude and much more. Punk rock is anti-corporate, anti-establishment, anti-system and anti-conformity. Current bands like Blink 182 and Good Charlotte are NOT punk rock because they don't really have the original rebellious rock'n'roll spirit, gist or attitude of individuality. Music has gotten so corporate now that we very badly need another rock revolution like punk and we need it fast, before rock's just part of the past. Cuz lately it just sounds the same to me... (all due respect to the Ramones).
The Ramones are often considered to be the first actual punk rock band as we know it. This legendary band from Forest Hills, Queens, the Big Apple were greatly influenced by American garage rock bands, the British Invasion, the Beach Boys and girl groups. I saw them four times before they called it quits in 1996. VIVA RAMONES!

1. Donald Jerk Trump was put in his place by the next President, Joe Biden. Douchebag Donnie was bragging and interrupting and twice Joe had to tell him, 'Will you shut up, man?'. Donald Jerk Trump is the most sociopathic and hated person in the world. He will become a model for teaching the children in schools, Sunday school, etc. of what NOT to be.

Get the 5150 mug.a quality (or trait) of a person that plays on a person's sexual sences. Lately this trait has been used and exploited extensively to cause viewers (usually male) to "think with their dicks" instead of their brains.
1. believe it or not, I was doing research for a college arts class paper and I was paging thru some old back copies of Rolling Stone magazine. A female journalist described Keith Richards as the "brilliant Rolling Stones guitarist" who sings a tune lead (once in a blue moon) with a "fuck-me-honey" voice. Yeah, that's right.(!)
2. Look at the lousy "diva" stars of the past number of years. Look at the female TV news reporters. Notice how stupid and empty-headed they are. Then look at the hatemonger Ann Coulter and the idiotic Susan Palin. Read the comments and blogs:
MILF, VPILF, GILF, oh WTF, hot for teacher, cougar, "I'd do her!", "I'd hit her!", and all that shit. It seems that if a female has good looks and that fuck-me-honey air to her then she is a STAR, a celebrity, a sensation. No good heart and no brains needed. However, Susan Palin didn't get to be Vice-President this year, did she? RATS!!!!! ; ) People were thinking with their ding dongs but that formula didn't work this time around.
Now who's slamming McCain because her fuck-me-honey aura didn't get her where she wanted. Shut up. Go away. Is this a sign? Could the tide be turning at last? We can hope...
3.
There's a bubble-headed bleach blonde, comes on at five
She can tell ya about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry...
DON HENLEY
4. At the beginning of one of the Porky's movies there is a neon sign animation where a sow pig lifts up her skirt and a male pig goes gaga on her. What's that spell?

1. When I visited St. Peterberg I met Olga who showed me around the city. She's a nice lady and she was my sputnik , my companion during this trip.
2. Sputnik 1 was launched on October 4, 1957 and it made the world wake up. Even though it wasn't much as spacecraft go, it was the FIRST to go into orbit and some nations, esp. the US were afraid the USSR would 'dominate' outer space. That led to the formation of NASA and US space exploration in itself. The same year Sputnik 2 went into orbit carrying a stray mongrel bitch dog named Laika. She was killed by radiation that previously unknown. There was a third a maybe a fourth satellite launched under the official name 'Sputnik'.
3. In the 60s before the manned Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, the USSR sent a sputnik there called Zond 5. All it did was orbit the Moon and it had turtles aboard to see how life forms can handle being in orbit around the Moon.
4. Donald il Douche Trump is a traitor. He hijacked the US Presidency with Russian cyberhacking help and he is on Vladimir Putin's leach. EVERYTHING he does is what Putin wants him to do. Spanky Don ORBITS and sucks up to the Russian dictator in every manner concerning foreign affairs and diplomatic relations. He is a quisling, a Benedict Arnold, a Judas, he licks Putin's pud, he is a sucky boy to the Russian government, he is a SPUTNIK.
