Yes, but you see, the same argument you make about the Velvet Underground could be made for many punk-garage-hardcore bands. Not all of them are "I love you when I'm drunk"; there are a thousand interpretations of punk (the three chords played badly?), and the Velvet’s is just one. There are many valid ones, and there are technically proficient punk bands (since it seems like you’re making it a technical issue, do you know how many punk guitarists laugh in Gilmour's face, I mean ONLY TECHNICALLY?). But is it because of punk that you say rock died in '77? And what about the bands that played something different before? And post-rock? And drum and bass? And all the various fusions of staminchia?

Reasons for clichés: the dazzling killmen play hardcore, but they have more technique than a lot of progressive bands. You stop at the name, I think Saputello hit a three-pointer. As if there was only punk and grunge (beyond their value) in the '80s and '90s.

Just in the lyrics of "Heroin," there's the entire philosophy of much of punk. If for you it's a cliché that songs recorded, among other things, in a haphazard way, played (badly) with two or three chords like "Waiting for My Man," "Heroin," "Run Run Run," "White Light," "Lady Godiva," "Sister Ray" are considered punk, I think you haven't understood much, even if you throw out the name of Thelonious Monk to give yourself some credibility.

which blasphemy? that the velvet are in fact not only the godfathers of punk (and other things) but actually a punk band? have you ever listened to them?

Well, that's more or less a name, but the Pere Ubu have been around since way before, I think since '75 and they play punk. The Stooges were punk. The Velvet Underground were punk, the MC5. They were called different names, but in practice...

I must admit I have a monstrous curiosity: I want to understand why '77.

And if someone made a song on New Year's Eve of '77, is it good or not? Ever more troubling doubts.

But you know, it's reassuring to set a deadline and tell yourself "until then it's fine, after that it's all crap or worse." You give yourself some direction, you're no longer lost in the sea of things to learn. You have a defined area of action. Then, whether the limits of that area are completely fictitious is not important; the important thing is to believe that those limits exist. You know the old folks who talk to you about "the good old days" because they can no longer adapt to the new?
