Don't know what you are, but any aggression expressed in my post is a result of a recent brief encounter with academia around the subject of punk (while writinig a certian seminar paper) and distant past encounters with journalists around the same topic (when my friends and I published zines and music and played in bands).
Again, tracing a linear history of Punk is irrelevant for the actual enjoyment, just like one doesn't have to be familiar with previous epicaresque romance in order to enjoy Don Quixote (as opposed to Neo-Classic tragedies that require knowledge of Greek tragedies and myths for reference, pardon the comparison). In general I believe that listening to punk and/or making punk happen by playing/releasing/publishing/organizing (which usually comes with the former), leads to a better understanding of the subject of punk, which spread in the past three or four decades, geographically and sub-genere-wise makes it nearly impossible to map.

Once again, apologies for reading snotty and aggressive, did not intend to attack.
