Where did punk music stem from?



The late hippie scene was centred around Ladbrooke Grove in London where the anarchists bands lived like Pink Fairies, Hawkwind, Edgar Broughton, Pretty Things, Syd Barrett and Mick Farren. That's where the Punks got their anarchist ethos and it was from older hippies they got their drugs.

CBGB's, disaffection, 8 minute drum solos, pub rock, f*ck that for a game of soldiers, Bromley contingent, Malcolm M'cLaren, generation screaming for an identity, DJ's (all awful!), torpor of mid to late 70's "rock",
 
The likes of ska stemmed from reggae and soul came from R & B, so where did punk stem from?
1920-1940 Blues guitarists such as Blind Boy Fuller and Lightening Hopkins I learned all their guitar work years ago and it gave me a massive edge in the music industry as a musician.
