Yes. I agree. I was into punk during the 80s but am a metal head for the most part. As far as Britain is concerned, the waves you speak of is right. Stranglers/clash etc were considered first wave. The exploited/gbh/peter and the test tube babies were considered second wave iirc. Did the Sex Pistols signal the beginning of the second wave, or where they part of it? I’m going from sheer memory here, but this is what my punk friends say back home. I’m not too sure about the US scene. I only ever listened to DK (and still do, they’re amazing). He once called his favorite Scottish soccer team the Celtics. It’s Celtic. He also called the eliminator girls from the zztop videos, the accelerator girls. Small mistakes, but stuff he “should know” by memory
