This is a question for people who didn't experience punk firsthand (sorry o wise eldersaurs!)
How did the ideas/legacy/presence of punk affect your listening to and thinking about music?
(I didn't say it was a small question)
And do you still feel it as a presence within pop music and culture? Does it affect current music? Does it affect how you approach the music that came before it?
I'm interested in 'my' generation of listeners (30somethings) but also especially in 20somethings and younger - and in British people especially.

There's no NEED for 50 yr olds to crow about their 18 year old tastes when 30 yr olds can vicariously crow about it for them.
