Let the Gen X'ers make the determinations here.

Johnny Rotten - Sex Pistols - b. 1956 (Boomer)
Joey Ramone - The Ramones - b 1951 (Boomer)
Joe Strummer - The Clash - b 1952 (Boomer)
Paul Weller - The Jam - b 1958 (Boomer)

I guess if you want to take the advice of kids who were in grade school during the Punk era (1974 to 1984), that's fine.

But @RaceBannon and his Boomers were punk.

And the tweeners like @PurpleThrobber (b 1963) were the prime consumers of the genre and its successor New Wave.

Well, yeah, of course. But us Gen X'ers still are old enough to have consumed all those 1st wave of punk bands when we were in MS, HS and in College. Maybe not the prime consumers but enough to tell the millennials to F.O.

You're still a late stage OK Boomer. There's no tweeners here.
 
I stood outside a Sex Pistols concert in Tulsa with Bible in hand in 1978 during my sermon seeker phase

Quite the uproar in the Bible belt which was the point

The REAL punk band

I thought you were still a sermon seeker? Did I miss something? Did you join the dark side with me?

Thats pretty true. b 1971 landed me smack in the middle of new wave and goth. My little hick town high school was overrun by it. I didn't know ahit about real punkin the 80s even though i think it was still thriving.

I've always known you doorbelled for McGovern, but I never knew you doorbelled for the Lord.
 
I think Yella @YellowSnow needs to do a sermon seeker/believer thread or Pole. I have always wondered what kind of heathen would poast here
