If you look at punk rock in the late ’70s for example, it was the work of The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Ramones that made labels and the music “industry” take notice. After that the industry got a hold of it and started cranking things out for the bucks. Follow it down the line and we get washed out commercial shite like Green Day or even worse, a couple of generations later Fall Out Boy.
