The Ramones Vs. The Sex Pistols

Well if that's what you mean I'm actually glad that the UK is more open to trends and new stuff.
Look at grunge in the U.S. you were still getting sh*tty Pearl Jam imitators over 15 years after they first came out. Britpop came and went in the space of 3 years. Madchester not even 2 years. Hell the Shoegaze thing in the early 90s ended before most of those bands even cut their 2nd album. Even punk was considered dead and old hat by 1979.

Which is fine by me, the cream of a scene rises to the top, the also rans fade away and the next thing comes along to keep things interesting and vibrant.
I see nothing wrong with it.
