It's an odd list that includes Generation X, but omits X and omits The Germs.

True punk burned itself out so fast that it's ghosts (new wave, retro punk, grunge, speed/death metal/ hard core) are just illusions. Plus, they cleaned up the garbage in London. Glam rock ended. Studio 54 closed. Disco died. Detroit automobiles got better. The economy got better once the socialists and CINOs were booted from government decision making apparatus.
All there is are rich kids wanting to rebel against rebels. The next wave of outlaw music? Classical chamber music.

They are often noted as the definitive hardcore punk band along with their contemporaries in Washington D.C., Black Flag and Bad Brains.
Black Flag was from SoCal. Henry Rollins was from D.C.

"The Replacements" first ablbum came out in 1981 but one of my all time favorite punk bands. Plus this list is very NYC centric. The Replacements were from Minniapolis.
