I got hooked by the Pogues and Nipple Erectors, and "London Calling" by The Clash. Never looked back. Still love those bands all to hell, but my favourite scene is the CBGBs and I love proto-/post-punk as well.

I justwanna say, The Pogues are awesome.


Anyway, the band that got me hooked was Hot Hot Heat. It was about 6 years ago when I was in 5th grade and whenever I would play Mario kart, my brother would play the song Goodnight Goodnight by them and I loved it. Then, when I got into 6th grade, my reading teacher got me into The Pixies and The Strokes by giving me magazines and song recommendations. I then just started getting into more bands and listening to stuff I had never heard before and that's how I turned out to be the person I am.

What got me into Punk was the Misfits, I just liked the speed of it, and the adrenaline, and how it just ended in 2 minutes. I just wanted more and more, and that's what punk does to you, it leaves you wanting more, that **** gets you pumped... I want MORE...

The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and the Ramones were my first official 'punk' bands, because the cool kids thought Green Day were poseurs and I wanted to impress them.

not sure if they're even a 'punk' band, but I like Four Year Strong. whatever you consider them. everything else else I listen to is mostly heavier than that except You Me At Six. Again, don't know how to define them.

It was The Ramones. Namely the song "I Just Wanna Have Something To Do". I was probably 14 or 15, and I got a Ramones shirt for my birthday. I was embarrassed that I didn't really listen to them and wanted to be "legit" and familiarize myself with the music before I wore the shirt...so no one would ask me questions about The Ramones resulting in awkward stammering about how I just got the shirt and didn't really know their music.

That was the first song of theirs that I heard, strangely, after buying a Best Of anthology or something, and I listened to it so many times on repeat before even listening to anything else on the CD.

It definitely made an impression on me. I loved it.

I mean, I suppose before then I listened to Queen, David Bowie, and things like that, but I wouldn't consider them punk at all.

I was a kid. Barely out of kindergarten that i heard punk music. But i couldn't understand much of it. It was by the time i went to highschool that i started to appreciate the music. By the way The Clash was the first band that got me hooked.
