Wow, you're completely blowing what I said out of proportion.

It's not nitpicky, it's just being mildly observant of styles, and The Stooges, Patti Smith, MC5 aren't punk.Talking Heads sure as **** ain't, either.

The Stooges are quite often regarded as the first punk band. Patti Smith partly activated the New York punk movement. I'm only passing on what I've researched. Whether you don't think so, that's your reasons. I personally don't think TH are punk but they've been held to the label.

If you want to merge all the genres together because they have significance to one another, then let's just label everything pop/rock.
|
So I've started discussing the fine difference between certain protopunk and punk bands and all of a sudden we should merge entire music genres?
Ok well let me be a little bit more observant. Protopunk, post-punk, art punk, punk blues, pop punk, hardcore punk, gothic-punk, crust punk, Christian punk, glam punk, street punk.

Or are you suggesting that we only nitpick to what you deem reasonable?

I didn't mean it as an offence, but yes, how else would you deem an opinion?

Honestly, The Stooges sound more like a garage rock band trying to make it into the 70s, the New York Dolls sound like glam rock, and any other "proto-punk" band you can throw at me? There's a genre that fits them much better than punk, please blee dat.

Cool. Sometimes The Stooges are considered garage punk and the NYD glam punk which I think is pretty fitting, but it's not a big deal to me.
