Punk's genesis was primarily The Stooges, an American hard rock failed institution who's spirit was salvaged as usual by the British thanx to a single Stooges show in London, attended by soon to be starters of the movement called punk which eventually migrated back to the US and capitalized in the form of the infamous Sex Pistols tour. CBGB's took up the gauntlet for the style and the rest was history. Some myth, eh?
