Intro

ProtoPunk

Proto-Punk refers to a number of bands which were essential precursors to the Punk movement. Since the term refers to a large group of bands, the characteristics of the subgenre vary from band to band. For the most part, these bands were precursors to Punk because they represented the Punk aesthetic before there technically was a Punk aesthetic. These characteristics include primitive production, amateur sounding composition, DIY aesthetic, etc.
