It's this attitude thing that confuses me most - although, for bands of that era, the notion of 'punk' would certainly be what inspired people, I think now we can look back, with our misty glasses, and say that that 'attitude' was merely the vogue term for something that has existed everywhere, always. To call it a 'punk' attitude seems very narrow to my mind. You can use all the contingent evidence you like, but SY would've been SY with or without the Ramones/ Stooges/ Pistols or whatever.
