Germs: The Missing Link

As I've been researching the history of punk and metal, I find that many publications spew out the same history word-for-word. But after doing some digging of my own, I find a few anomalies that don't quite fit the chronology I've been told. The biggest one that comes to mind is an LA punk band called the Germs.

A Brief Look into the History of Punk, and Where I See it Going

Part of what I wanted this blog to become is a place where I can post my own original research and conjectures about punk and metal. From there I hope to either come to the conclusion that I am correct or way off in my beliefs, which will at least somewhat stem from comments. Or perhaps I will come back to this posting a year from now and alter my views based on new discoveries. Anyways, this is what I have come to accept as the history of punk rock as of 2011, my prediction of where it will be in three years, and why everyone will need to buy a copy of Thursday's new album.
