"Although the origins of punk rock, as we know it today, undoubtedly include artists like Patti Smith, The Velvet Underground, and The Stooges, the origins of punk as an attitude can be traced back much further. In essence, punk is about the rejection of societal and musical norms, pursuing something entirely original and often revolutionary. In that sense, punk could be traced back to the original wave of jazz stars, who sought to tear down the boundaries of traditional music to create something modern and rebellious."
