Punk music can be a contradiction in terms. Forged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a response to the pomposity of corporate rock, and a thumbing of the nose to the larger establishment, the movement was also marked by a disdain for virtuosity or, in fact, artistic competence. And it came to embrace its own excesses, as anyone who has endured the bombastic mess that is “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” could attest.
