Reply to comment by Airwolf_BDTW in So, in the Punk-Rock world, beginning to end, is there any band more ‘Punk’ than NOFX? by thud83

I think the whole English punk thing was Malcolm McLaren recreating what he first saw in New York. Punk there transitioned into hardcore thanks to the Bad Brains.

That seems pretty unfairly reductive to me. McLaren was obviously hugely influential via the Pistols, but there was a lot more to the English punk scene than just one band that was together for less than three years.
