The Punk Family Tree: From Garage Riffs to Modern Indie

From the muddy basements of Detroit’s MC5 and The Stooges through New York’s CBGB and London’s Sex Pistols, this episode follows punk’s evolution into pop‑punk, post‑punk, hardcore and indie. We chart how DIY labels like Dischord and Lookout!, fanzines, all‑ages venues, and low‑budget recording practices wired a global network that still shapes underground music today.
