New York punk

New York punk is the raw, stripped-down rock music that emerged from Manhattan's underground scene in the mid-1970s, centered around clubs like CBGB.

Bands like the Ramones, Television, and Patti Smith rejected the elaborate productions of mainstream rock for short, aggressive songs with minimal technique.

The term extends to the fashion and attitude associated with the scene—ripped clothing, confrontational lyrics, and DIY ethos.

Their sound owes more to New York punk than British punk.
