Ditzy:
I was born in the early 70s and grew up on punk music at home Rocket From The tombs,
The Stooges, Slaughter and the Dogs, The Misfits, New York Dolls. My parents were punk rockers hard core.
Once The Clash came along punk became a far cry from real original punk and punk died off.
Spent a lot of years playing guitar in metal bands doing glam and thrash metal.
More into doing melodic metal these days so if that is alternative count me as one.
EMO isn't alternative its just lame because all they want to do is act like a victim.
Even though I’m young I grew up on punk and proto-punk bands like misfits, the stooges, the cramps, Los Saicos, the monks, the sonics and MC5. There’s a really good new podcast called No Dogs In Space done by the guy who hosts Last Podcast On The Left that goes into music history and they’ve been doing a bunch of punk bands. Really interesting to see how most of them just hated the music being played and wanted to just make their own.
