I used to have a very certain idea of what punk was. For a while there, I had it in my mind that real punk rock was a particular sound from a particular era. It was the Clash, the Sex Pistols, and the Stooges, with their pinned on patches, military boots, and slightly intimidating form of musical expressionism and political activism.
