Even better is the term, also in the culture, “proto-post-punk.” Silver Apples, Brian Eno, Can, all that.
Yeah, and before that the VU. That’s how I came to punk - in the
early/mid-70s, amidst all the pap there was Eno-era Roxy Music, then
Eno solo, etc. And the NY Dolls. Did they sound great in 1973.
Something like the Gang of Four, which is post-punk I guess, sounded
pretty punk when they first hit the scene. Art school punk, maybe,
but the slash and thrash mixed with social critique fit my bill.
