There is no greater home to creativity then New York City. The music of NYC is a diverse and important field of world music. It has long been a thriving home for jazz, rock and blues, and is also the birth place of hip hop.
New York had the earliest documented punk rock scene in the USA. Drawing on local influences such as The Velvet Underground, The New York Dolls, The Stooges and The Ramones, punk music developed at clubs such as CGBG's in the 1970's.
The term punk initially referred to the scene in general, more than the sound itself - the early New York punk bands represented a broad variety of influences.
