In the late '70s we use "new wave" as a catchall term and "punk" to refer more narrowly to the really raw, rude, and abrasive stuff. But the terminology lines got blurred pretty quickly. I suppose a lot depends on whether you use "punk" to refer to the music or the attitude. If a brash, iconoclastic, do-it-yourself attitude is punk, then a lot of artists might be punk artists even if the music doesn't sound it. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
