[net.music] Punk Rock & wavopop

gds@mit-eddie.UUCP (Greg Skinner) (05/01/84)

There was an article in Billboard sometime around 1980 where the
difference between punk rock and wavopop was clearly outlined.

These (were) the punk rockers:
	Sex Pistols, Ramones, DK (I think)

These (were) the wavopopers:
	Devo, Blondie, B-52s, many others

Most likely, the wavopopers of today are the frequenters of MTV.  I'm
not saying I don't like them, just drawing the barriers.
